Mime type icon missing.

k-3.14 · 2019-07-24 18:15:36

The pic on top shows mime type settings from my desktop pc.

The lower pic that of a fresh installation on a thinkpad.

Both installations are DEBIAN Buster. Where are those small icons? What am I missing?

Thank you and best regards ....

Are the versions of xfsettingsd the same on both systems:

xfsettingsd -V

Also try running xfsettingsd in debug mode:

XFSETTINGSD_DEBUG=1 xfsettingsd --replace --no-daemon

...and in another terminal manually start "xfce4-mime-settings". See if there are any warning or error messages displayed.

As you proposed.

I don't see the issue ....

ToZ · 2019-07-25 10:53:20

Yea, nothing obvious.

Are you using the same Appearance theme for both?

Is there any content in ~/.gtkrc-2.0 on the Thinkpad?

k-3.14 · 2019-07-25 15:36:35

Hi ToZ.

Purged Buster on that Thinkpad and I am now installing Linux Mint 19.1 Xfce.

I think, I see the same behavior with those file icons missing there. Will do proposed commands with LM 19.1 and report back.

Sorry ....

k-3.14 · 2019-07-26 17:42:44

So, I am back ...

Content in ~/.gtkrc-2.0 on both (PC and TP) under Debian Buster.

(TP, there were some issues with TP camera and BT module, so I purged it.)

style "xfdesktop-icon-view" {
XfdesktopIconView::label-alpha = 0
XfdesktopIconView::selected-label-alpha = 170

base[NORMAL] = "#cccccc"
base[SELECTED] = "#cccccc"
base[ACTIVE] = "#cccccc"

fg[NORMAL] = "#ffffff"
fg[SELECTED] = "#000000"
fg[ACTIVE] = "#000000"
}
widget_class "*XfdesktopIconView*" style "xfdesktop-icon-view"

Now with a fresh Linux Mint 19.1 on TP. No icons ...

More follow-up questions:

Do you get the same "gdk_window_set_icon_list" message when you run xfce4-mime-settings on your desktop?
I'm interested to see what appearance and icon themes you are using. Can you post back:
```
xfconf-query -c xsettings -lv
```
Can I see the contents of ".gtkrc-xfce"?

Maybe try with a different icon theme to see if that makes a difference.

No difference ...

This is really strange. I just installed Mint 19.1 into a VM, fully updated it, set it to the same theme/icon set, and everything works fine. I did notice the "gdk_window_set_icon_list: icons too large" message start appearing when I set the elementary icon theme. I'm not sure what to suggest.

k-3.14 · 2019-07-28 05:55:41

It is not a big thing, thank you for having a look.

I don't know that this will help, but here's my ~/.gtkrc-2.0 contents:

include ".gtkrc-xfce"
gtk-icon-theme-name="Mint-X-Dark"

Could the missing gtk-icon-theme-name be the reason for the issue? For comparison, here's my xsettings output:
