Missing icons on buttons

Post by mishy »

Hi!

First of all thank You for you product!
I am using it for for awhile now with a 3user licese.

I did not used your Control Center for a while only the CUPS interface to set my printers and I may used the PPDs (it is a service laptop with lots of other type of printer from hplip, samsung, gutenprint, cups driver). Recently I realized there are no icons (pictograms) on the buttons.

I did a upgrade, uninstall, and finally install with the present newest turboprint-2.13-2.i586.tgz, but no success.

what I also checked:
root@hostname:/usr/share/turboprint# ls -l
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 febr 25 20.39 colors
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 febr 25 20.39 doc
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 febr 25 20.39 dump
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 febr 25 20.39 img
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 febr 25 20.39 lib
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 febr 25 20.39 locale
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 20480 febr 25 20.40 ppd
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 20480 febr 25 20.39 printers
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 febr 25 20.39 profiles

The files are identical by content to the files in the tar.

There is a SnapShot of the ControlCenter:

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks for the help in Advance,
Mishy

PS: I thought I saved my turboprint printers from the deat of uninstall by saving the /etc/turboprint folder but my printer did not came alive after the turboprint.cfg restore from the backup.
Do you have any suggestion on it?

Hello,

thank you for your feedback! The icons are TIFF images contained in /usr/share/turboprint/img. Maybe the library "libtiff" is not present or not present in the version required by TurboPrint.

Use the terminal command

ldd /usr/bin/turboprint

to check if all libraries are present.

Which Linux distribution & version do you use?
Do you get an error message when you enter the command

turboprint

from a terminal window?

Icons fixed but old printers disappeared

Thank You for the reply!

That was my fault. I made a new build of the libtiff 4 beta3 and glib 2.23.1 at the end of the last year.
I made an other build and all is OK now.
libtiff 3.9.2
glib 2.22.4
gtk 2.18.7

The /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-tiff.so was linked against the libtiff.so.5 which was broken.

The one open question is:
How can I recover my old printers from the time before of the Turboprint Uninstall?

Info:
I saved the folders what the uninstall deleted, just before I said "Continue" to delete.

Thank You for the light on the resolution's path!
Best Regards!
Mishy

PS: The ldd pointed out no errors, neither a linking to any-tiff*
So the ldd /usr/bin/turboprint |grep tiff #had NO result.

To restore a saved configuration, you need the file

/etc/turboprint/turboprint.cfg

and optinonally the directory

/usr/share/turboprint/profiles

if you created custom page sizes or added custom color profiles.

Install TurboPrint again, then restore

/etc/turboprint/turboprint.cfg
/usr/share/turboprint/profiles

and enter from a terminal

sudo tpsetup --restore

The last line was the key with the command line --restore!
All OK now.
