Error with installing papirus-folders #26

Closed Nakamerica closed 2 years ago

Nakamerica commented 2 years ago

Distro - Ubuntu 20.04 LTS installing method - PPA Hi, i was trying to install this on my system, but I'm getting the error in the screenshot below.

Would really appreciate if I could get some help with this... I'm a complete beginner and I've been trying to figure this out for hours now. Screenshot from 2021-12-31 19-36-25

i was looking around and this question seems similar to mine, I wonder if this helps in any way...

Seems you did install the package and then remove the script. Try reinstall the package with the following command:

sudo apt install --reinstall papirus-folders

Not even close.

Thank you for taking the time to reply

Seems you did install the package and then remove the script. Try reinstall the package with the following command:

Yes, i installed, uninstalled and then reinstalled it again in the hopes of making it work. i ran the cmd you mentioned, then the papirus-folders -C brown --theme Papirus-Dark cmd, this is what shows up

Now do the same with papirus-icon-theme package:

sudo apt install --reinstall papirus-icon-theme

ah thank you so much, it looks fantastic.

Nakamerica commented 2 years ago

one more question if you could help me with it: Is it possible to use your theme just for folders with a different icon theme otherwise? I'm assuming that's not possible?

SmartFinn commented 2 years ago

You will be surprised. It's not so hard to do.

  1. Install the fork FreaxMATE/papirus-mate-icon-theme
  2. Replace Inherits=Papirus-Dark,Papirus,gnome,hicolor line to Inherits=YOUR_THEME_NAME,gnome,hicolor in the following files:
    • /usr/share/icons/Papirus-MATE-Dark/index.theme
    • /usr/share/icons/Papirus-MATE/index.theme
    • /usr/share/icons/Papirus-MATE-Light/index.theme
  3. Update icon cache for the themes with the command 
    sudo gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/Papirus-MATE-Dark /usr/share/icons/Papirus-MATE /usr/share/icons/Papirus-MATE-Light
  4. Done.

But please don't come back asking for support for this configuration :wink:
