Clamtk Ver 5.xx will not come up on Linux Mint KDE 17.3 Ubuntu 14.04 #80

Hi ClamTK (Dave?) Developers,

First, Thank You for providing this very nice GUI front-end and the addons for Clamav. I hope everyone involved keeps this maintained and up to date. Although Linux users really do not need an anti-virus anti-malware application often, it sure is nice to have one, just in case; and for interacting with users of MS Windows and Mac systems.

I have tried installing "clamtk_5.24-1_all.deb" and the "clamtk_5.24-1.legacy_all.deb", and neither will come up. The ClamTK 4.45 version from the repositories works, but I cannot resize it.

When I run ClamTK v5.24-1 from the console terminal prompt, I get the message below: "Icon 'gtk-new' not present in theme at /usr/share/perl5/ClamTk/GUI.pm line 284." When I run ClamTK v5.24-1 Legacy from the console terminal prompt, I get the message below: "Icon 'gtk-new' not present in theme at /usr/share/perl5/ClamTk/GUI.pm line 315."

So, I ran "locate gtk-new" which found png and svg icons. I tried copying those to "/usr/share/perl5/ClamTk" which did not work? The .png file claims to be a link (non-working) on my system?

If I purge ClamTK 5.xx and install the one from the Linux Mint 17.x repos, it works again. But, I would like the new version.

FYI: I have "Linux Malware Detect (LMD)" also installed running in conjunction with ClamAV.

Best rergards, Phil phd21

Hi Phil,

This means that the theme you're using does not employ those icons. If you switch to a different theme, it should work (assuming it has all those icons, of course!).

I recommend not using the older 4.xx series, as it has not been touched in quite a long time.

Thanks, Dave M

Hi dave-theunsub,

Thank you for respondng.

Why would this program be dependent upon any desktop theme? Should it not include any necessary icons in its own installation process ?

What theme in KDE would I choose?

Regards, Phil phd21

Hi Phil,

It is strange that a program wouldn't work because a particular theme doesn't have an icon. It should show a "broken image" icon or something if it doesn't have it, I think. I'm not sure how to make that happen. If I ever get around to making version 6.x, maybe I can change that behavior.

I recommend giving a few themes a try. Offhand I don't have a list or anything of themes that work. Sorry, I don't have a better solution at present.

Thanks, Dave M

Hi,

maybe the following helps a bit:

I had the same Problem on CentOS 7 today and was able to fix it by simply installing a package called 'gnome-icon-theme-legacy' which appears to be a split out of 'gnome-icon-theme'.

RPM Package info:

Name : gnome-icon-theme-legacy Arch : noarch Version : 3.12.0 Release : 1.el7 Size : 0.0
Repo : installed From repo : base Summary : Old names for icons in gnome-icon-theme License : LGPLv3+ Description : This package contains symlinks to make the icons in gnome-icon-theme : available under old names.

Don't know about the DEB, but maybe the RPM should depend on that one?

Regards Kurt B.

Hi Kurt,

Thank you for the additional information.

You are correct; the Fedora builds used gnome-icon-theme-legacy but the CentOS builds (6 & 7) use gnome-icon-theme..

Ok, I'll work on fixing the CentOS builds...

Thanks, Dave M

Closing for now. If the issue persists, please open a new ticket or reopen this and I'll take a look again.
