Network Manager applet for Gnome cannot find icon nm-device-wwan
Last modified: 2008-07-23 14:35:08 UTC
When I run nm-applet it prints to console: ** (nm-applet:30305): WARNING **: Icon nm-device-wwan missing: Icon 'nm-device-wwan' not present in theme and shows the error message: "The Network Manager applet could not find some required resources. It cannot continue." but it puts icon in tray. However this icon lacks any functionality. When I run nm-connection-editor directly it prints ** (nm-connection-editor:30399): WARNING **: Icon nm-device-wwan missing: Icon 'nm-device-wwan' not present in theme ** (nm-connection-editor:30399): WARNING **: Failed to initialize the UI, exiting... to console end exits.
$ rpm -q NetworkManager NetworkManager-gnome NetworkManager-0.7.0.r3685-5 NetworkManager-gnome-0.7.0.r729-6 (I do not have GNOME installed.)
NetworkManager-gnome contains that icon: tambet@linux:~/Desktop> rpm -ql NetworkManager-gnome | grep nm-device-wwan /usr/share/icons/hicolor/22x22/apps/nm-device-wwan.png tambet@linux:~/Desktop> ls -l /usr/share/icons/hicolor/22x22/apps/nm-device-wwan.png -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 817 2008-05-23 15:45 /usr/share/icons/hicolor/22x22/apps/nm-device-wwan.png Can you confirm you have that file?
Yes, it apparently does contain the icon and I have this file present in system. $ rpm -ql NetworkManager-gnome | grep nm-device-wwan /usr/share/icons/hicolor/22x22/apps/nm-device-wwan.png $ ls -l /usr/share/icons/hicolor/22x22/apps/nm-device-wwan.png -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 817 2008-06-03 22:29 /usr/share/icons/hicolor/22x22/apps/nm-device-wwan.png
To make new icons available for gtk, the icon cache needs to be updated. NetworkManager-gnome package issues the following command after installation: gtk-update-icon-cache -q /usr/share/icons/hicolor If you try to run this command as root from the terminal, does it issue any errors or warnings? If it succeeds, does it fix nm-applet?
Works now! Seems that last change broke it: $ rpm -q --changelog NetworkManager-gnome * Wed May 28 2008 sbrabec@suse.cz - Do not call gtk-update-icon-cache (bnc#395056). ... I installed the package via zypper and SUSEconfig (and thus gtk-update-icon-cache) was not called.
Not sure whom to assign it, assigning to the person who did that change.
Did you run SuSEconfig after update?
Am I supposed to run SuSEconfig manually after installing packages?
If you are using rpm, then yes. If you are using zypper, then it is a duplicate of bug 365649.
It was using zypper, closing as duplicate then. Thanks *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 365649 ***
