Korla Light - Missing icons

[algent-al]

Wireless icons missing on panel:

Missing application icon on Korla Theme. Screenshot and Terminal

Maybe there are others, but these were on my panel. These missing icons are only in "Korla Light", "Korla" is better.

System: Solus Budgie 4.0

[bikass]

My main system is Solus. And light theme works fine. Did you tried to update cache or logout-login?

[algent-al]

I even restarted PC. And still same result. I have installed this theme on $HOME/.icons maybe this is why the Folder Links from "korla" are not working on "korla-light". Probably "korla-light" should be Independent icon theme, without any link for other folders.

[bikass]

It should work in $Home directory. "Korla" and "Korla-light" should be together. If you copying just light - it won't work. I have no idea why it's not working. Can you try download and extract again?

[algent-al]

Yes I downloaded it again, and with same results. I will try it in another PC, maybe the problem is in my PC.

Hello, $HOME/.icons is not the right place, it could also work but that directory is not the default for icon themes. The exact folders are listed here and korla and korla-light should be installed together because light-theme depends on korla.

If you have Arch Linux (or derivate as Manjaro), you can install AUR package that simplifies this things and themes are available system-wide.

Probably "korla-light" should be Independent icon theme, without any link for other folders.

If so icons would be duplicated and that increases difficulties in the management of themes.

[algent-al]

I don't know why it works for you, but still not working for me. I tried this again on another PC with Virtual Box, and I have same results. Installed again on $HOME and "korla-light" icons from symbolic link folders are not loaded. For me only "korla" is fine and it is my favourite icon theme so far. I don't use "korla-light", just wanted to report the issue.

Hello, $HOME/.icons is not the right place

Then you have to clarify this on README which it is:

and copy both korla and korla-light subfolders to one of the following folders:
    /usr/share/icons/ - icons available system-wide
    $HOME/.local/share/icons/ - icons only available to local user

That "korla-light" will not work on
$HOME/.local/share/icons/

[Digitalone1]

Maybe you don't understood properly.

$HOME/.icons and $HOME/.local/share/icons/ are two different places.

I don't know where you placed them, but if you do it in the second ($HOME/.local/share/icons/), it will work.

Please, copy here the absolute path of one or your icon. Just to make sure where they are placed.

Take in consideration that $HOME is a variable, it contains your local folder, so the absolute path should be /home/yourusername/.local/share/icons/.

You can also copy korla and korla-light inside /usr/share/icons/ using sudo from command line.

[algent-al]

In both locatins $HOME/.icons and$HOME/.local/share/icons/ I have same results. My system is Solus Budgie 4.0.

Yes in /usr/share/icons/ korla-light works fine.

[Digitalone1]

I have them in /usr/share/icons and it works. Tested days ago in $HOME/.local/share/icons/ and it worked too. Maybe I will test in the next hours too and let you know.

[Digitalone1]

@algent-al I removed it from /usr/share and placed in $HOME/.local/share/icons/, it's working to me.

I have Plasma 5 Desktop, maybe it's something wrong with Budgie, I don't know.

Can you replace it under $HOME/.local/share/icons/ and copy here the absolute path of an icon? Thanks.

[bikass]

I have Solus and Ubuntu with Budgie. And on both systems icons are placed in $HOME/.local/share/icons/ Both works fine.

[algent-al]

Can you replace it under $HOME/.local/share/icons/ and copy here the absolute path of an icon?

/home/algent/.local/share/icons/korla-light/categories/scalable@2 /home/algent/.local/share/icons/korla-light/categories/scalable Is this what you mean?

[algent-al]

I think i found the problem and now the korla-light is working with all it's icons. I deleted every folder and subfolder with @2 inside korla-light.

[Digitalone1]

Do you have an HiDPI monitor?

Maybe it's a wrong configuration for HiDPI folders, but I can't test it on my monitor.

[algent-al]

I don't think so. I have an old "NEC AccuSync LCD92VM 19" LCD Monitor" from 2005. I am sorry I didn't thought that the problem was with my monitor. Probably that is why those icons with HiDPI didn't work, only by deleting those folder made the icon theme to work.

[Digitalone1]

Please post the output of the following commands

xdpyinfo | grep -B 2 resolution
xrandr | grep -w connected

[algent-al]

xdpyinfo | grep -B 2 resolution
screen #0:
  dimensions:    1280x1024 pixels (338x270 millimeters)
  resolution:    96x96 dots per inch

xrandr | grep -w connected
VGA1 connected primary 1280x1024+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 380mm x 300mm

[Digitalone1]

Your DPI is 96, same as mine, so it's not an issue related to HiDPI folders (if so, it wouldn't work inside /usr/share neither). There should be something wrong with your configuration.

How do you install them? Do you clone from the command line or download the release zip?

[algent-al]

It doesn't matter I tried them both.

Tried this on Virtual Box on a host machine with quite new hardware.

algent@fujitsu ~ $ xdpyinfo | grep -B 2 resolution
screen #0:
  dimensions:    1920x976 pixels (508x258 millimeters)
  resolution:    96x96 dots per inch
algent@fujitsu ~ $ xrandr | grep -w connected
VGA-1 connected primary 1920x976+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm

It is strange but I found that the problem is only with the folder animations@2. After deleted korla-light theme start working, even if I restore later animations@2, the theme is still working. Tried logging in/out and restarting PC. Same results on $HOME/.iconsand $HOME/.local/share/icons.

So the fix is just delete and restore only animations@2 folder. It doesn't matter if you delete it before or afte switching to the theme.

Well I tried today on ubuntu budgie and yes light theme was wrong. I updated icon caches on both themes, did that chmod 644 and 755. That fixed light theme and some icons after restart. @algent-al can you test if everything is ok (download from latest commits)?

[algent-al]

Right now I am at work PC. I tried this on VB, and yes the new commit is working out of the box. I think it is fixed.

If it was an icon cache problem, he could resolve it executing the scripts included in the git. I didn't think about that.

I had issues related to permission in the past, how did you change the permission and which files you did it on? HiDPI folders are simply symlinks, so I don't think there's a permission issue on them.

[bikass]

Yes maybe it's just cache. But in case I just ran these two lines you gave me few months ago: chmod 644 $(find "$HOME/.local/share/icons/" -type f) chmod 755 $(find "$HOME/.local/share/icons/" -type d)

But I think there is still some issues with index. Some icons are too big ... sometimes... I updated cache, restarted and icons were ok. After few hours started laptop and icons were big again. Updated cache, restart - good again...

If permission was changed, we should see it in the commit. I don't see permission changes in the last commit, so I think it's only a cache issue.

I don't have problems on Plasma, but as far as I know Plasma has its own cache method, it don't rely on icon-theme.cache.

If you need to cache regularly, you could write a bash script executed at every startup:

#!/bin/bash

gtk-update-icon-cache -f /absolute/path/to/icon/folder 

placed in ~/.config/autostart/.

Anyway, do you need to add some other icons or fix to the repository? If not, I will push a new release for the AUR package.

[bikass]

All is done at the moment. You can push it.

[algent-al]

I think you can close the issue. On my end everything is OK. Thank you for you help. I also learned a few things here.
