How to repair broken permissions on files in /usr/share/mime?
0
Sometimes on Void Linux, GDK will get into a broken state due to bad permissions on files in /usr/share/mime.
Any GTK applications will have an error like:
(evince:14593): Gtk-WARNING **: 11:32:26.476: Could not load a pixbuf from icon theme.
This may indicate that pixbuf loaders or the mime database could not be found.
The bad permissions typically look like (notice all the files have a mode of 640):
-rw-r----- 1 root root 10773 Mar 1 13:37 aliases
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 17650 Mar 1 13:37 application/
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1264 Mar 1 13:37 audio/
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 72 Mar 1 13:37 font/
-rw-r----- 1 root root 21733 Mar 1 13:37 generic-icons
-rw-r----- 1 root root 31371 Mar 1 13:37 globs
-rw-r----- 1 root root 34843 Mar 1 13:37 globs2
-rw-r----- 1 root root 20 Mar 1 13:37 icons
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2474 Mar 1 13:37 image/
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5868 Mar 1 13:37 inode/
-rw-r----- 1 root root 28142 Mar 1 13:37 magic
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 216 Mar 1 13:37 message/
-rw-r----- 1 root root 147456 Mar 1 13:37 mime.cache
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 46 Mar 1 13:37 model/
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 224 Mar 1 13:37 multipart/
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 136 Mar 1 13:37 packages/
-rw-r----- 1 root root 17811 Mar 1 13:37 subclasses
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3220 Mar 1 13:37 text/
-rw-r----- 1 root root 964 Mar 1 13:37 treemagic
-rw-r----- 1 root root 21842 Mar 1 13:37 types
-rw-r----- 1 root root 5 Mar 1 13:37 version
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 688 Mar 1 13:37 video/
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 522 Mar 1 13:37 x-content/
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 28 Mar 1 13:37 x-epoc/
-rw-r----- 1 root root 1775 Mar 1 13:37 XMLnamespaces
To fix the situation, the permissions must be fixed, and then the mime database and gdk pixbuf cache must be regenerated.
What is the best way to repair the permissions so that the files are 644?
