I changed the repository from 3.0 to cooking with set-release
after the upgrade and the reboot I have the openbox desktop
- there is no icons (in tazweb, on the desk and so on)
- lxpanel doesnt start, error:
netstatus-icon.c:193:netstatus_icon_init_pixbuf: assertion failed: (*pixbuf == NULL)
how could I remedy?
i tryed the suggestions given in this thread

Try:
1.) tazpkg get-install slitaz-icon --forced
2.) tazpkg get-install slitaz-icons --forced
I'm not sure which naming convention it's using these days

hi thanks
I already did it
icons are there, in usr/share/and-so-on
but with lxappearance they dont appear, neither on desktop, lxpanel, pcfman...
it seems that icons are empty, I try with 3.0 ones

Try this:
root@slitaz:/home/tux# tazpkg reconfigure gtk+
Then this:
root@slitaz:/home/tux# gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/hicolor
root@slitaz:/home/tux# gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/SliTaz/
Command should output:
gtk-update-icon-cache: Cache file created successfully.

hi mojo thanks
i-ve reinstalled slitaz-icon-1.2 and all other icons sets
i-ve reinstalled libpng too
the command u suggested gave the correct output
icons are still missed
lxappearance gives a lot of error trying to load the icons: unrecognized image file format
if I try to open any image viewnior says that the location contain no image
I did it again and commands didn't exit with cache file created successfully
just ends to prompt
with -f appended to the commands gtk-update-icon-cache it says for both sets cache file created successfully
with -v (validate) says nothing

sorry if i mistake, try this:
# gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders /usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders
# gtk-query-immodules-2.0 /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules
# update-mime-database /usr/share/mime
Offline
hi rd, don't worry
I apologize but xterm doesn't give cut&paste
the first says g_module_open() failed for /usr.../loaders: /usr.../loaders.so: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory
the gtk command says that cannot load immodules.so : no such file or directory
than
doesnt export GTK+ IM module API: /usr... cannot open... no such file
update-mime ends at prompt
thanks

In between, xterm DOES give cut&paste. ;-)
a) select the text with left button,
b) go to where ever you need to paste (forum, xterm, etc...),
c) middle click.
And that's it.
Happy slitaz

@denver: sorry i miss something ... open folder /usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders and you must enter one by one file
#gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders /usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-ani.so
.. enter next file in that's folder ...
do the same on file in folder usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules
nb: You can highlight the existing sentence and then click the middle mouse to copy-paste in xterm
Offline
wow !
thanks a lot
forn anyone that hasn-t middle click for me works with simultaneous left+right touchpad click
thanks

hi rd.nmc
i did that for each file
than I ran update-mime
closed sessione &X server
restarted
still with no icons.... I-m sorry
Offline
little update
a chmod 777 of /home left start lxpanel that still with no icons (just placeholder with red cross)
desktop too is without icons (no placeholder at all)
Offline
See if icons appear in pcmanfm if you login to x session with slim login manager as user root.
Pcmanfm manages the desktop icons/wallpaper.
Offline
no, no icons even with root access
pcmanfm is running (top says with -d option)
neither in root session, nor in tux session icons are there
from terminal I can see a never ending list of images (the icons) not recognized
Offline
Close pcmanfm if it's open.
Open xterm:
pkill pcmanfm
pcmanfm
Does Xterm report any errors?
Offline
no errors, neither if I execute pcmanfm, just no icons and no desktop image
if I launch lxpanel it says unrecognized image file format
another strange thing is that even if I set on the kernel raw (in grub) lang and kmap an if I set it again as root, it doesn't remember that settings in X;
in the console lang & kmap are ok
if I try to open any images with viewnior it says that "the given locations contain no image"
I think that the problems are related to gtk settings
i renamed .gtkrc-2.0 and now lxpanel loads, albeit without icons
pcmanfm has icons after that... (still manage desktop without icons and wallpaper)
Offline
there are many other things that don't work (tazpanel for instance)
so if none needs any test I'll give up to reverse to 3.0
Offline
Because httpd needs to be started correctly for TazPanel to work. I personally think it's a bad idea to upgrade from 3.0 to 4.0RC considering the 2 year gap between the two (and all the changes done between them). I had similar issue upgrading Ubuntu, so I've got in the habit of backing up my home directory and then just reinstalling everything instead of going through all the trouble fixing upgrade issues.

hi trixar
I agree with you.
the only problems is that the only files working on that laptop are those from 3.0 (I can't boot isos, cd or usb)
none of the 4 works (I tried almast all rootfs.gz!)
thankyou anyway
i tried to upgrade because I like sme things in the new relaese, but I can use as well 3.0
Offline
How did you get SliTaz on there in the first place? Oo
Offline
hi trixar
I dont remember. If i'm not wrong, I did what suggested as manual installation on a hdd.
Offline
Hi !
That is curious ... all the time i made time to time a backup from my HD installation, using tazusb writefs lzma.
The advantage, i was able to boot frugal from the image to experimentalize without destroy my hd installation. all the time the image works just like the hd installation.
Yesterday i changed some GTK+ and theme settings. Since this change i get now the same lxpanel error if i want boot from a created rootfs.gz image.
The hd installation still works perfect.
i can get lxpanel to work on the frugal boot with
gtk-update-icon-hicolor
gtk-update-icon-SLiTaz
but not all icons are restored .... and this doesn't solve that writefs made corrupt images ....
