Missing icons in notifications

[0-wiz-0]

I'm using dunst from pkgsrc, so there might be a packaging problem - hints welcome!

I followed the blog article https://blog.orhun.dev/introducing-runst/ and started dunst without arguments and no config file, then ran

notify-send "runst" "A dead simple notification daemon 🦡" --expire-time 3000                                                                                                                                                                                              

A message does pop up, but I get:

  WARNING: No icon found in path: 'dialog-information'                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

I have a couple icon packages installed:

hicolor-icon-theme-0.17

When I copied the default config file coming with dunst 1.9.0 to ~/.config/dunst/dunstrc I just got more errors:

Changing the icon_path as the article suggests didn't help either.

Any ideas what could be the problem and how to make dunst find its icons?

Hey, you can try

enable_recursive_icon_lookup = true
icon_theme = Adwaita  # same name as the folder in /usr/share/icons/

Thank you. I tried that and it didn't help, but your comment did :) I noticed that dunst really only looks in /usr/share/icons- so I fixed that in the pkgsrc package for icon-lookup.c and settings_data.h and now it works out of the box.
