Missing icons?

Hello everyone,

I performed a fresh install of Arch on my laptop and I am trying to get everything working again. So far I have run into one issue..the bumblebee-indicator application settings.
Code:
 bumblebee-app-settings
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/bumblebee-app-settings", line 356, in <module>
    Appset = Applications_settings()
  File "/usr/local/bin/bumblebee-app-settings", line 91, in __init__
    self.build_app_list()
  File "/usr/local/bin/bumblebee-app-settings", line 186, in build_app_list
    iter=self.app_list.append(None, [categorie,None,None] + [self.icon_set.get_pixbuf(icon_name)] + 3*[False] + 3*[None] + [False, Config.to_configure_color])
  File "/usr/local/bin/bumblebee-app-settings", line 47, in get_pixbuf
    except : return self.icon_theme.load_icon(Config.default_icon_name, icon_size, 0)
glib.GError: Icon 'application-x-executable' not present in theme

I think the issue is a lack of icons called application-x-executable. However, I am not sure how to resolve this. Should I just make an icon and put it with the other icons? Does the size of the icon matter?

Thanks for any suggestions.
 


Reinstall all icon packages, window managers, desktop interface, etc. I am not sure specifically which GUI package would have that, so just reinstall all GUI packages. Obviously, updates can help (if available).
 
Icons are usually stored in /usr/share/icons/ subdirectories. Have a look and see if it's missing.

Or you could install/reinstall the various icon themes and see what happens...?

The common ones are the tango icon theme, hicolor icon theme and gnome icon theme. If you install those three, most apps should have working icons.
 
Thanks for the replys. Let me try some stuff..

Using KDE 4.12 by the way with the Iceglass iconset.

At this point, I am not sure what to do. It almost seems like your system is missing the default icons. If so, may be you need to find some way to reinstalled that portion of the system.

Maybe you should reinstall all and any GTK packages. Notice that the error says "glib.GError: Icon 'gtk-missing-image' not present in theme".
 
Installing gnome-icon-theme may have fixed Avant but not Bumblebee-ui.

So odd. o_O

Can you install the gnome-icon-theme? It's probably a bug in "bumblebee-indicator" which is causing this, as it should be xdg compliant.

It's common to have gtk icon/theme problems if you're running a bare system with just KDE installed. Also install some gtk themes and a theme switcher. I prefer gtk-chtheme for the latter.

You can explicitly set your gtk-2 theme in ~/.gtkrc-2.0
