Describe the bug

When i try to start Saber AppImage i get output:

(saber:10555): Gtk-WARNING **: 06:33:37.693: Could not load a pixbuf from icon theme.
This may indicate that pixbuf loaders or the mime database could not be found.

To reproduce

  1. Download AppImage
  2. Execute AppImage
  3. Get wrong

Expected behavior

  1. Download AppImage
  2. Execute AppImage
  3. Be happy

Saber version

0.19.2-x86_64.AppImage

Device

  • Device: Laptop
  • OS: Fedora 39
  • GTK3 version 3.24.41
  • GTK4 version: 4.12.4

Anything else?

I looked at the path that's used before the icon and it looks like it's ./gtk/gtk/icons https://github.com/GNOME/gtk/tree/main/gtk/icons

I see that the GTK_PATH variable refers to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gtk-3.0, which is missing from the /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ directory in the unzipped appimage, also the icons are in /usr/share/icons/Humanity/status and the image-missing file has svg instead of png resolution

After a little investigation I just added the directories /usr/share/ and /usr/local/share and the application ran
Now the line looks like: XDG_DATA_DIRS=$APPDIR/usr/share:$APPDIR/usr/local/share:/usr/share:$XDG_DATA_DIRS
