Evolution is missing some icons in 11.2

**twelveeighty** · 28-Nov-2009, 11:48

My Evolution client is showing me the "missing icon" icon for the "Send / Receive" button as well as the icon for a meeting request.

I am running Evolution (a GNOME app) on KDE, which I hope is a supported combination...?

Am I missing an icon package? If so, can someone tell me which one?

Thanks!

Do you have the Gnome icon package installed?

I think so - I have the following, which one do you think I'm missing?

Code:

~> rpm -qa | grep icon
OpenOffice_org-icon-theme-oxygen-3.1.1.4-1.1.4.noarch
OpenOffice_org-icon-theme-crystal-3.1.1.4-1.1.4.noarch
gnome-icon-theme-2.28.0-2.2.noarch
OpenOffice_org-icon-theme-galaxy-3.1.1.4-1.1.4.noarch
OpenOffice_org-icon-theme-hicontrast-3.1.1.4-1.1.4.noarch
oxygen-icon-theme-4.3.1-2.1.noarch
oxygen-icon-theme-scalable-4.3.1-2.1.noarch
hicolor-icon-theme-0.10-105.2.noarch

Hi,

I have the same problem. I installed the default kde4 and after that installed evolution by the package manager. Now the send/receive button is missing the icon (instead is a red cross).

best regards,

Joris

Me too, but since that's the least of my problems with Evolution, I haven't bothered to look very deeply.

Hmm, maybe I shouldn't be so negative, but I'll leave it anyway to add "gravitas" to the post.

Can you give more details? I am evaluating switching my work laptop from 11.1 to 11.2 and Evolution has to work. What problems do you see?

I have the icon missing that the OP was talking about.

I also have a thread open about default browser under Evolution running under KDE. It defaults to Epiphany and no-one can seem to help me to change the default. More worrying is that if you have more than one or two emails to expunge, I get a message at the bottom that says "Error expunging emails" (or something like that) and the only way I can get the mails deleted is to delete all the Evolution "*index" files and restart.

Then it works fine for an hour or two and it starts again.

I'm not a really happy camper - I updated from SUSE 10.3 to 11.2.

@msr7x57: I put the fix to the Firefox link problem in your other thread.

I can't reproduce your expunge problem. I emptied my trash with lots of emails and it was happy. Are you using IMAP or POP?

Hi - I'll answer you in the other thread.

Hi,

By now my evolution has no missing send/receive icon. I don't know for sure how I fixed it though. I noticed that the mail-send-receive.png icon wasn't present in the /usr/share/icons/oxygen/??x??/actions directory. So i copied the icons from /usr/share/icons/tango/??x??/actions/mail-send-receive.png to the oxygen directory. This didn't seem to work so I copied the mail-send-receive.png to some more icon direcoty's. Nothing seemed to work, however the next day (after a restart) the icon was ok.
