Mint icons

[zummuz]

Hello. hardcode-fixer no longer fixes at least 3 icons on Linux Mint (they are in the list):

• Mint Drivers Icon=mintdrivers (/usr/share/pixmaps/mintdrivers.svg)
• Mint Software Manager Icon=mintinstall (/usr/share/pixmaps/mintinstall.svg)
• Mint Software Sources Icon=mintsources (/usr/share/pixmaps/mintsources.svg)

[bilelmoussaoui]

We need the desktop file name too :)

[zummuz]

Im not sure what do you ask. This: mintdrivers.desktop Name=Driver Manager

mintinstall.desktop Name=Software Manager

mintsources.desktop Name=Software Sources ?

[bilelmoussaoui]

Yes, thanks;

[zummuz]

It should already work? I guess I've reported something wrong, because it doesn't.

[bilelmoussaoui]

Yes but you will need to execute the script again

[bilelmoussaoui]

Try to logout and log in

[zummuz]

I've executed the script again and relogged - doesn't work

[bilelmoussaoui]

What was the output when you've executed the script? Can i get the content of each desktop file too?

[bilelmoussaoui]

You have used sudo ./fix.sh?

[zummuz]

It was silent, then I deleted all with -r and executed again: G: Fixing GDebi... G: Fixing HP Printer... G: Fixing Mint Backup... G: Fixing Mint Backup... G: Fixing Mint Nanny... G: Fixing Mint Upload Manager... G: Fixing Nvidia Settings... G: Fixing Python (v2.7)... G: Fixing Python (v3.4)...

You have used sudo ./fix.sh?

Yes

Can i get the content of each desktop file too?

I've deleted Name[%lang]= and Comment[%lang]= lines.

[bilelmoussaoui]

can you share the output of tree /usr/share/applications/?

[bilelmoussaoui]

The icons seem to not be hardcoded at all...Are you using Numix Circle? If so , try updating icon cache. sudo gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/Numix-Circle/

Are you using Numix Circle?

Yes

If so , try updating icon cache. sudo gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/Numix-Circle/

Ok, I just did. What should it do?

[bilelmoussaoui]

Icon themes create a cache file, when you do change something on the theme you need to always refreshing the icon cache. You can find more details by googling that.

If the icons are still not fixed, i think that we are not modifying the right desktop files..Can you do some searches? Here's a list of where you can find desktop files

• /usr/share/applications/
• /usr/local/share/applications/
• /usr/local/share/applications/kde4
• ~/.local/share/applications/
• ~/.local/share/applications/kde4

[zummuz]

Icon themes create a cache file, when you do change something on the theme you need to always refreshing the icon cache. You can find more details by googling that.

Yeah, I've googled a bit before asking, and understood this action serves for optimization. I'll google more later.

There are no such folders: /usr/local/share/applications/ /usr/local/share/applications/kde4 ~/.local/share/applications/kde4

and ~/.local/share/applications/ contains one desktop file (serapp-gedit-EPRCAY.desktop)

[bilelmoussaoui]

Can you try an application like Menulibre to edit desktop files and see if you can change those icons?

[zummuz]

Yeah, I've successfully changed icon for Software Sources with random picture from ~/Pictures edit: and for Software Manager too I'm leaving, thanks for the help, I'll be back tomorrow

[bilelmoussaoui]

I'm really out of ideas...Mint was always a pain to fix, i don't know why they don't follow any standards..

[zummuz]

Okay, there are two types of icons for Drivers and Sources, icons work in the settings window and don't work in kickoff panel: Then I just copied and renamed /usr/share/icons/Numixfolder/scalable/apps/youtube.svg to /usr/share/icons/Numixfolder/scalable/apps/mintinstall.svg: So I guess there should be added 3 regular (not hardcoded fixed) icons with names mintdrivers.svg, mintinstall.svg and mintsources.svg.

[bilelmoussaoui]

Well your icons were never hardcoded dude...Just few missing symlinks.. @Foggalong Please revert my latest commit..

[zummuz]

I was told that they are, and there are similar icons in the list of supported ones. Anyway, this symlinks will be added/fixed or should I report them to Numix-Circle?

[bilelmoussaoui]

The best thing is to report them to Numix Circle; Well because in older version those icons were hardcoded; i think they are not hardcoded anymore

[zummuz]

Okay, thanks btw, multiple icons should be reported in one issue or in a separate ones?

[bilelmoussaoui]

See this https://github.com/numixproject/numix-icon-theme-circle/pull/2760

[palob]

@bil-elmoussaoui Why reverting?

[bilelmoussaoui]

@palob Those were not hardcoded at all..and the hardcoded icon line, is just a normal location for icons like /usr/share/icons/

[palob]

As far as I can see it was usr/share/pixmaps. Anyway, any line which does't work with SVG icons in either /usr/share/icons/Numix/ or ~/.local/share/icons/Numix or ~/.icons/Numix is to be considered hardcoded. The entry won't do any harm.

[bilelmoussaoui]

Icon=mintdrivers : this the icon line (/usr/share/pixmaps/mintdrivers.svg) this is the icon location in his desktop Well, it won't do any harm as you said ;)
