Hello,
since recently, several applications (firefox, pavucontrol, pidgin...)
fail to load images with gtk.
This happens when logging in as different user too, so its unlikely this
is a setting in the ~ directory.
The error message is as following:
$ pavucontrol
(process:13818): Gtk-WARNING **: 11:47:10.492: Locale not supported by C
library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
(pavucontrol:13818): Gtk-WARNING **: 11:47:10.592: Could not load a
pixbuf from icon theme.
This may indicate that pixbuf loaders or the mime database could not be
found.
**
Gtk:ERROR:../../../../gtk/gtkiconhelper.c:494:ensure_surface_for_gicon:
assertion failed (error == NULL): Failed to load
/usr/share/icons/Adwaita/16x16/status/image-missing.png: Unrecognized
image file format (gdk-pixbuf-error-quark, 3)
Abgebrochen
But the file is there:
$ file /usr/share/icons/Adwaita/16x16/status/image-missing.png
/usr/share/icons/Adwaita/16x16/status/image-missing.png: PNG image data,
16 x 16, 8-bit/color RGBA, non-interlaced
And debsums -s does not find any wrong .png files, so its not a problem
with the filesystem.
After googling the error for two hours but don't finding any working
solution. I started to dig the problem down.
Lucily, I had already build gtk+3.0-3.24.5 myself before (reason:
https://superuser.com/questions/1033414/how-to-disable-gtkfilechooserdialog-search),
so I have debug symbols there
gdb pavucontrol

gdk_pixbuf_new_from_stream is returning NULL. Unfortunately there are no
debug symbols in Debian for libgdk_pixbuf.
So I tried to build this lib with debug symbols too.
apt-get source libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev
cd gdk-pixbuf-2.38.1+dfsg/
debuild -b -us -uc --no-pre-clean -j1
But this fails with tests/resources.c not found.
Why is this file missing? Because a image file could not be loaded:
[1/97] Generating resources.c with a custom command.
failed to load
"/home/malte/programming/c-addadd/libgdk-pixbuf20/gdk-pixbuf-2.38.1+dfsg/tests/icc-profile.png":
Couldn?t recognize the image file format for file
?/home/malte/programming/c-addadd/libgdk-pixbuf20/gdk-pixbuf-2.38.1+dfsg/tests/icc-profile.png?
../tests/resources.gresource.xml: Der Kindprozess wurde mit Status 1
beendet.
But once more the file is there:
file
/home/malte/programming/c-addadd/libgdk-pixbuf20/gdk-pixbuf-2.38.1+dfsg/tests/icc-profile.png
/home/malte/programming/c-addadd/libgdk-pixbuf20/gdk-pixbuf-2.38.1+dfsg/tests/icc-profile.png:
PNG image data, 48 x 48, 8-bit/color RGBA, non-interlaced
I think at this point I am struck. Because GTK can't load images, I
can't build the lib to figure out why images can't be loaded.
Any help?
