No icons on VLC GUI

Postby blackhatbrigade » 24 Sep 2008 01:22

Gentoo 2.6.25-r7
vlc with wxGTK

I get everything to compile just fine and can watch all the media I could ever want to. The only problem is my icons for the buttons just aren't there.

Running "vlc -v --reset-plugins-cache" comes up with:

Code: Select all

QPainter::begin: Cannot paint on a null pixmap QPainter::end: Painter not active, aborted QPainter::begin: Cannot paint on a null pixmap QPainter::end: Painter not active, aborted QSystemTrayIcon::setVisible: No Icon set
I've been searching and all I can come up with is the no GUI problem. Which I really don't have, I have a GUI... just not icons... :roll:

Thanks for any help!

Sorry, forgot to put some version info...

wxGTK - 2.8.7.1-r1
vlc - 0.9.2

Don't know of anything else that might be needed, but ask and I'll get it.

First you are displaying Qt interface.
Then you are missing the resource files. rcc does work on your system?

I noticed he is having the same issue as I am in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=50414

Although his is a little more extreme. I'm wondering if this is a gentoo specific issue.

Dunno. Interesting though... He does have the same button overlap.

I figured I'd go ahead and post this while I was at it. Would have copy and pasted but for some reason that's not working with xterm :?

No, your compilation didn't compile the resource file correctly.
