[Solved]Icon themes not showing correctly after doing a netinstall

jaz89 · 2023-01-13 02:12:48

Hello,

I recently did a fresh bunsenlabs netinstall but the only issue I have is that the icon themes are not working as expected, there are missing icons also.

These are the only files I modified from the netinstall script:

You've commented out papirus-icon-theme from the install list, but bunsen-papirus-icon-theme should have brought it in as a dependency anyway.

Could you try - at least temporarily - installing some different icon theme, and test if it can be used?

Hello,

Yes I tried other icon themes like Numix, Paper with same result. Some icons are missing and some of them are not showing correctly, It is like the icon themes are mixed up

Just in case I checked and papirus-icon-theme it is installed

@jaz89 you probably just need to install "librsvg2-common" then try again.

Hello,

Thank you! That package solved the issue

johnraff · 2023-01-15 02:38:56

(slightly off-topic but...)

Thanks @cog for the heads-up, and @jaz89 for finding the glitch.

What seems to be happening is that enough of the BL default packages are depending on or recommending librsvg2-common that a regular install will have it ( eg gdebi > gnome-icon-theme > librsvg2-common ). But a stripped-down system like the OP's can miss it.

Right now I'm not sure whether to add librsvg2-common to the default install list or make it a dependency of eg bunsen-themes, to try to leave the user the option of not using it. It's pretty small, though, so just make it a default package sounds like the way to go...

A 30kb package, 80kb installed, a little more than that in bookworm. Include it, IMO.

https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/librsvg2-common

https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/librsvg2-common

or1o9 · 2023-01-15 06:57:16

Yes, if including it makes a problem go away, by all means include it.

DeepDayze · 2023-01-16 04:00:34

I've noticed this as well when I did a netinstall and the librsvg2-common package somehow didn't get installed. Perhaps this can be also in the netinstall script as well?

johnraff · 2023-01-16 04:16:49

^Yes especially the netinstall package list is without recommends so librsvg2-common needs adding.

Done for netinstall.

I think librsvg2-common should also be added as a dependency of one of the bunsen- packages too, for people who cherrypick. Perhaps bunsen-{paper,papirus}-icon-theme, or bunsen-configs?

hhh · 2023-01-16 07:50:01

^ Or both, to be on the safe side.

johnraff · 2023-01-17 05:45:36

Basically, papirus-icon-theme should depend on librsvg2-common, since it's made up of svg icons.
I've filed a bug report.

Other icon themes that don't use svg are fine without that library.

hhh · 2023-01-21 08:01:17

^ Debian, blah blah blah, adding "recommends", [FIXED] (?!??). A quick negation of your bug, at least...

Logically I very much dislike the idea of adding dependency from an icon theme
to some package that provides the SVG parsing functionality (e.g., librsvg2-
common). Such dependency should be handled by whoever *consumes* SVG icons
(e.g., spacefm), not the package that *provides* SVG icons. Why should an icon
theme package know that some random desktop software will need a "librsvg2-
common" to parse SVG correctly? What if that desktop software actually needs
some other SVG parsing library (e.g., libqt5svg5) ? Why *should* I know that?
This does not make any sense.
Back to actual packaging: I could add a recommendation to librsvg2-common, but
I will definitely not opt to go for a hard dependency. I will make the upload
shortly.
Thanks,
Boyuan Yang

Because it's a flipping SVG icon theme, Boyuan, the future of icon themes, that's why you should include the necessary libraries. What a dolt.

"What if that desktop software actually needs
some other SVG parsing library (e.g., libqt5svg5) ?"

Then include that library too, it's a miniscule package. 131kb, Jebus.

-edit- Gaa! This is the kind of arrogant horse manure that makes me act like a butt-munch. "Why should the car know that you need a key fob to start the ignition? What if the user prefers to crank start the car like in a pre-1920s Model T? The user should provide his own key fob or crank!"

johnraff · 2023-01-22 00:29:48

I (politely) replied to his comment. Something like "Why should a file manager have to know that the user's chosen icon theme uses svg icons?"

Anyway, a Recommends: is better than nothing probably the right choice, and I've added a Depends: to bunsen-papirus-icon-theme in Boron. It'll go in the default package lists too (already in the netinstall script).

Agreed that it's probably the right choice. Just pissed at the hubris of the response, it's a snapshot of everything wrong with a portion of Linux development.
