When running GuixSD on a headless server  ...

ssh
emacs

... produces emacs running in X but ...

- all of the menu icons are missing except one ('file drawers')

- lots of messages are shooting in the tty session (sample below).

This actually doesn't bother me because, hey, who uses the stinking
icons? But it is messy and <JeanLouis> on #guix reported the same thing:

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

Here is my setup:

bug#23001: emacs in X has icons missing and throws warnings in tty

[Chris Marusich]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1627 bytes --]

Hi,

I'm using emacs in X on my GuixSD (version 0.10.0) laptop (not a
headless server), and all the icons seem to be showing up correctly for
me by default.

I think the adwaita icons are provided by the package adwaita-icon-theme
(although gnome-themes-standard also purports to supply a copy of it,
too):

Are either of these packages installed on your system?  Also, are your XDG
environment variables set correctly?  See the following email thread,
which seems related to your issue:

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2016-01/msg00764.html

I hope that helps,

Thanks, no they were not. I tried installing adwaita-icon-theme and then
gnome-themes-standard to no effect.

Thanks. Don't know. I looked at ...

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2016-01/msg00764.html

... and I have these vars ...

... but I don't have the 'XDG_CONFIG_DIRS' var shown in that post.

BTW, since I posted the bug I switched to running Guix/Debian. The same
icons are missing and I still get similar error messages ...

I see.  What if you try setting GTK_DATA_PREFIX [1] to the profile where you
installed the themes?  I don't know if that will work; it's just a guess.

[1] https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/gtk-running
"GTK_DATA_PREFIX.  If set, makes GTK+ use $GTK_DATA_PREFIX instead of
the prefix configured when GTK+ was compiled."

bug#23001: emacs in X has icons missing and throws warnings in tty

[宋文武]

Well, now the gtk+ is linked with gdk-pixbuf+svg, with
adwaita-icon-theme and shared-mime-info (used by gdk-pixbuf at runtime)
all my Emacs toolbar icons are missing (empty), but without any warning.

Icons are all OK now. Yeah!

Now only two messages are being generated ...

vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
g1@g1 ~$ emacs
process 27189: D-Bus library appears to be incorrectly

No such file or directory See the manual page for dbus-uuidgen to
correct this issue.

address: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Attempting to follow the instructions in the first message, I installed
dbus, but I don't see any dbus-uuidgen man page, or any other dbus man
pages.

The second message is referenced in bug#28088 ...

Subject: bug#28088: "The name org.a11y.Bus was not provided by any
.service files" with multiple applications

The messages seem harmless. Perhaps the bug should be downgraded?

In guix (GNU Guix) 0.14.0.4032-cfb55 the attached config no longer
produces these errors, so I think this should be closed.

Note: installation of dbus is not required & this config works too ...
