Hey Kirkx, thanks for your input! I'll most likely be doing a mass edit of the tutorial, so I'll definitely use your suggestions!

Re: Installing and Using Themes and Icons in LL - Wirezfree - 08-10-2014

Hi Looking for some help.
I installed some themes referenced by Kirkx from noobslab.
The installs did not produce any errors.
I could select the themes O.K, but on the icon tab there is a ! next to the Win7 icon item
It gives a message(warning):
"This icon theme as no cache file, you can create this by running"

Code:
gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/Win7-icons/

by itself it failed
So googling gave me the fact you needed to add "index.theme"

Code:
gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/Win7-icons/ index.theme

Tried the command without & with sudo:

Code:
dave@hp-laptop:~$ gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/Win7-icons/ index.theme

gtk-update-icon-cache: Failed to open file /usr/share/icons/Win7-icons/.icon-theme.cache : File exists

dave@hp-laptop:~$

Any guidance welcome...
Thanks... Dave

The correct format is:

Code:
sudo su

gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/Win7-icons/

Hi Valtam,

Thanks,
Unfortunately still getting the same error and warning in the gui... Dave

Code:
dave@hp-laptop:~$ sudo su

[sudo] password for dave: 

root@hp-laptop:/home/dave# gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/Win7-icons/

gtk-update-icon-cache: Failed to open file /usr/share/icons/Win7-icons/.icon-theme.cache : File exists

root@hp-laptop:/home/dave#

Looks like a badly put together icon theme. The icons will work just fine, you just won't have a cache file, no biggie.
