    Smile Libre Office Icons missing after update

    Hi,
    This is more an FYI. I searched pretty hard for anyone else having this problem, but I couldn't find evidence of it.

    I updated my kernel to 2.6.32-38, and after that I noticed that all my libreoffice icons had been replaced with text. Even going to the Tools>Customize>Toolbars all the icons were missing.

    For whatever reason, the system deleted the icons during the update. This was fixed by running
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install libreoffice-gnome
    which re-installs the base interface (including icons) for libreoffice to run on gnome. No need to reinstall everything.

    Problem is now fixed for me. I hope that if anyone else loses their icons this post may help them.
    S-Ubuntu 10.04

    Re: Libre Office Icons missing after update

    I am having the same issue and I tried the command however it didn't work... =(

    I am using 11.10 and just upgraded from Libre 3.4 to 3.5 and lost all the icons, they all turned into plain text.

    Here is the message I get when I run the command:

    Code:
    username@computername:~$ sudo apt-get install libreoffice-gnome
    [sudo] password for username: 
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree       
    Reading state information... Done
    libreoffice-gnome is already the newest version.
    The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
      libreoffice-l10n-common
    Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
    0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 69 not upgraded.
    N: Ignoring file '50unattended-upgrades.distrib' in directory '/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension
    Any ideas what I should try next?

    I've been Ubuntu for a couple of releases but still a newbie anytime I run into issues...

    Hi,

    FYI - I run into the same issue (Xubuntu 12.04 32bit, LibreOffice 3.5.4). My solution: Switch to another symbol style in the option menu, for example from 'tango' to 'oxygen'.
    By simply doing that all my icons suddenly appeared

    BTW: If there is no choice available install a second symbol style. And if you like your original style most simply switch back. Hope this hint will save some time for somebody else.

    Regards,
    Ulrich
