Not rendering svg icons

Grumpywolfe · 2010-12-07 03:33:01

Hi I am trying to complete a new Puppylinux with a full Xfce desktop using the Xfce-4.6.1 but have ran into a problem the svg icons are not showing up. I do have the librsvg and the libsvg but wanted to know if someone could tell me what version is needed or what fill I may have compiled wrong for it not to be working correctly.

I am running this on linux kernel 2.6.34.1 xserver 1.7.5 xorg 7.3 have upgraded quite a few libs to get it working and just want every thing working correctly so that I may release it for public use.

Check if you have the svg pixbuf loader for gdk-pixbuf, should be part of the rsvg package. Probably installed in /usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/ or something like that.

Thanks Nick for your replay I do have the gdk-pixbuf file and had to compile that for another program to work. The icons with show up in Google-chrome it I use open with and have them open in Google-chrome but Thunar thunmnialer or any of the system program can use them.

Make sure you have libpixbufloader-svg.so (somewhere in /usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/) provided by librsvg and run "gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache".
