Hi,
I'm using Debian testing and Inkscape 0.92.2 (5c3e80d, 2017-08-06) and I cannot see icons in the GUI.



I think it's a problem of missing icons or library in my system? Do you know which library and icons are used for the Inkscape's GUI?
Ciao,

On my Ubuntu system the icons appear to come from /usr/share/inkscape/icons - in particular the tango_icons.svg file which contains most of them. Check to see if you have that directory, and if it's populated.

It would be useful to know how you installed Inkscape, as that might point towards the cause of the problem, or reveal a packaging issue that needs to be reported.

Hi!
Thanks for your answer. Yes, the directory /usr/share/inkscape/icons is fully populated.
I installed inkscape from the official debian repository, and it's a fresh installation of Debian testing. The same problem affects also Gimp and Pidgin that's why I think it's a problem of library missed.
Ciao,

You can find out the dependencies listed in the Inkscape package with



Inkscape, Gimp and Pidgin are all GTK-based applications, so it's likely one or more of the GTK libs that are missing. You could also try reinstalling one of them, in the hopes that it pulls in the missing dependency - but that does depend on whether or not the system realises it's missing (sudo apt-get check might be enough to tell you that).
