Hello all, After I recently upgraded from the supplementary/[KDE,GNOME,misc]/update_for_9.3 I have lost some icons for OpenOffice, Scribus, Inkscape and some others. Also, the menus in Gimp have a black background? Has this happened to anyone else? I guess this is what I get for using bleeding-edge updates? Alvin -- Please reply to the mailing list.
In my system Inkspace stop to work, an error message is showed: "inkscape: error while loading shared libraries: libcairo.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory", but both inkscape and cairo were update from that site and the Gimp menu has a black background. Also I tried to update the OpenOffice and a lot of dependency is showed. Thadeu On Wednesday 24 August 2005 10:24, Alvin Beach wrote:

To get Inkscape working again, create a symlink. alvin@Desktop:/usr/lib> sudo ln -s libcairo.so.2.1.1 libcairo.so.1 Password: <enter your root password> But, Inkscape suffers the same fate as Gimp; The menus are black. But the program is still usable. Does anyone know which package is the offending package? Alvin -- Please reply to the list.

I had this problem also. I fixed black menus by downgrading gtk2-2.8.0-3.i586.rpm to the previous gtk2-2.6.8-7.i586.rpm This fixed it for me. Regarding missing openoffice, gnumeric, etc icons, my guess is that it could come from kdelibs3-3.4.2-15. Pere

Thank you Pere, that fixed it for me too. Thanks, Alvin -- Please reply to the list.

Hi Alvin & Thadeau, First, please don't "top-post." Second, trim your quotes... snip off the extra bits, leave the quote at top and reply below it. I read left to right, top to bottom, so when you top-post I am forced to jump past what you've written, read the quote for context and then jump back to the top to read your reply. It is not a natural progression for my eyes, so it takes more time to read and is therefore inconvenient. Alvin, you said:

You did mean "... recently upgraded to" right? Thadeau, you said:
In my system Inkspace stop to work, an error message is showed: "inkscape: error while loading shared libraries: libcairo.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
Alvin, you then ask:
Does anyone know which package is the offending package?
Thadeau's error message is a huge clue: the cairo package seems to be 'bent'. Had you searched the recent list archives to research these problems, you'd have found many posts... including several from me... discussing the supplementary 9.3 packages for Gnome being 'bent', if not outright broken. I finally fixed my desktop by installing everything over, from scratch, but upgrading only KDE to supplementary. Each attempt to install supplementary Gnome, either on it's own or in conjunction with "stock" /or/ supplementary KDE, "broke" my desktop in similar ways. If you leave Gnome at 2.10 and upgrade only KDE to 3.4.2 level "a", you shouldn't have any problems. This KDE upgrade is the smoothest I've experienced to date. YaST2 picked up the source directory, verified the dependencies were satisfied and installed the whole thing without a single "gotcha." The hardest part was accepting that the packages were truly broken; that you could be diligent with YaST/rpm and resolve all the dependencies and *still* end up with a broken desktop. regards, - Carl

I guess it wasn't clear, but I was referring to the original topic of missing icons. So far the only solution is, like you say, revert back to previous versions and then only update KDE. I don't have time to do this, so I will just have to wait for this to get fixed. I was just hoping the solution would be to just downgrade one or two packages like with the gtk2-2.7 rpm that cause gimp (and other gnome apps) to crash. Thanks, Alvin -- Please reply to the list.

I've done them as well, but nothing "weird" has happened..................yet. Fred -- Planet Earth - a subsidiary of Microsoft. We have no bugs in our software, Never! We do have undocumented added features, that you will find amusing, at no added cost to you, at this time.

Downgrading kdelibs3 to version kdelibs3-3.4.2-3 restores the missing icons. These rpms can be found at: ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.4.2/SuSE/ix86/9.3/ I got this workaround from the novell's update-patches newsgroup. Alvin -- Please reply to the mailing list.
