Icon problem

[jfernandz]

I had a problem with icons's pics during the installation and not works them. I had to put them after.

[GhostSquad57]

@WyRe Try installing this package and see if it fixes it: [old link]

[jfernandz]

but... isn't the same .deb that there is here? Or... have some changes? ...

And... And shouldn't uninstall the previous one? Thanks, men ... I go to try it (when u respond xD)

Very thanks and really nice work :D

[GhostSquad57]

@WyRe Maybe I should have been more descriptive :D

Uninstall you current version of steam-debian and install the deb I linked too.

The one I linked too has a mild change in one of the files; specifically, the file /usr/share/applications/steam.desktop

The difference is: OLD: Icon="steam-debian" NEW: Icon="steam-deb"

[jfernandz]

I have some problems ... but i don't understand ... I had installed nice the first time, then i try some more times because the problem is with the menu icons, not the desktop icon ... (i should have been more descriptive xD) ... and the next times that i tried install it ... everithing seems go fine (except no install icons ... :S ... ) but when i try launch it shell sais me: http://pastebin.com/ukRMQbJ0

Maybe there is a problem with my glibc ... :S ... but ... I insist ... the first time that i try the replacemen the new 48-5 worked ... I can understand nothing ... :S xD

And... sorry for the worst englis in the world xD

[GhostSquad57]

@WyRe You're launching with steam-debian right?

[jfernandz]

I'm dumb.

But... i havent any icon :(

[GhostSquad57]

@WyRe What desktop are you using? Gnome?

[jfernandz]

Yes :) Gnome 3.4.2

[GhostSquad57]

@WyRe Try gtk-update-icon-cache

this should refresh icons

[jfernandz]

Not works ... I try reboot xD

Nothing ... I must say that icons I deleted them because uninstalling steam-debian did not leave.

[GhostSquad57]

@WyRe Do you mind sharing screenshot of applications menu?

[jfernandz]

Before tries there is one in Internet and games menu. and neither in desktop

[GhostSquad57]

@WyRe Alright. Remove steam-debian package and try this one: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/82856418/Steam-Installer-For-Wheezy/steam-debian_test.deb

[jfernandz]

nothing neither ... :( ... maybe i am making a mistake in replacement ... but i had reboot after installation and... same xD no icons

I mean ... The first time that i installed the launcher of this repository (48-4) the installation creates me the menu icons (even the icon desktop, and he had pic) but the pic menu icons was by defect in a element menu; the fail is in .png file, i think...

However... In this installations the installers cannot creates me the icons :(

Say other than i can create the launchers, but we are trying to solve this problem with installer package xD

[GhostSquad57]

@WyRe does this file exist /usr/share/applications/steam.desktop

[jfernandz]

hummmm yes... exist ... but have not pic (no how the rest)

[GhostSquad57]

@WyRe OK. cat /usr/share/applications/steam.desktop | grep Icon what is output?

[jfernandz]

wyre@WyRePC:~$ cat /usr/share/applications/steam.desktop | grep Icon Icon=steam-deb wyre@WyRePC:~$

[GhostSquad57]

@WyRe Hmm... try
sudo desktop-file-install --set-name=steam --set-icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/steam.png --rebuild-mime-info-cache /usr/share/applications/steam.desktop

that's all one command

[jfernandz]

wyre@WyRePC:~$ sudo desktop-file-install --set-name=steam --set-icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/steam.png --rebuild-mime-info-cache /usr/share/applications/steam.desktop Error on file "/usr/share/applications/steam.desktop": Nombre de clave no válida: [zh_TW] wyre@WyRePC:~$

says: name of the invalid key

zh_TW ... is Asian? ... xD

[GhostSquad57]

@WyRe Edit /usr/share/applications/steam.desktop remove lines that have [zh_TW]

then try sudo desktop-file-install --set-name=steam --set-icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/steam.png --rebuild-mime-info-cache /usr/share/applications/steam.desktop again

[jfernandz]

Wait .. yes... its work (I needed to delete a line xD) :D Now steam.desktop has pic ... but i havent any icon yet....

And the "sudo desktop-file-install ....." return noting but i think that works :)

[GhostSquad57]

@WyRe OK download this: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/82856418/Steam-Installer-For-Wheezy/steam.desktop

Place it in /usr/share/applications/ overwrite old steam.desktop

[jfernandz]

ok done, and then? xD

[GhostSquad57]

@WyRe Reload gnome does it fix it?

[jfernandz]

no... I use "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm3 restart" for reload gnome but i havent icons yet :( maybe its my debian ... xD or its becausa i deleted it ...

[GhostSquad57]

@WyRe Try adding the item back on your application menu: right-click on Applications > edit menus > new item

[jfernandz]

but.... this is manually no? ... Steam icons dont show here, i mean .... there isnt it; if i add a new item is not automatically no?

[jfernandz]

Yes... I can create it ... but... manually :D But ... we are trying to solve the installer package problem... or we are trying to solve only my problem? XD

I'm sorry ... it's too later here in Spain and ... Tomorrow i work ... so ... i go to bed xD tomorrow we continue :D

[GhostSquad57]

@WyRe Does it show under the category "Other"? The original desktop file not the new launcher you just made.

EDIT: Explanation If Steam shows up under "other", chances are it's a localization issue.

[jfernandz]

No ...it neither is in this category ...

[GhostSquad57]

@WyRe OK delete the Steam launcher I asked you to make earlier. Then Try copying /usr/share/applications/steam.desktop to $HOME/.local/share/applications and then restarting gnome.

[GhostSquad57]

@WyRe I think this is a problem with just your system and not a bug of package.

I switched language to Spanish and it still shows up fine on my gnome menus:

[jfernandz]

I am at work ... when i arrive at house i try use your option and will comment here :)

But i too suspect that is my system or the fact to i had been deleted them in the second installation try (with your 48-5 version) xD

And... how u take screenshots of ur app menu? ... I can't do it when the menu is open! ... xD Maybe u delay the shoot?

[jfernandz]

But... Copying? or Cuting? and after i shouldn't reinstall steam?

I had to replace him ... there is one equal... xD

[jfernandz]

Oh ... Man ... Works! ... the last opción has worked!! And the incons have pic too!! :D :P It was that! :D

Thanks for your work and your attention man! ... :D People how u are the people that brings Debian where is! .... at the TOP... xD

A last thing ... Really; how u did the screenshoot of u app menu? ! ... xD

[GhostSquad57]

@WyRe Gnome 3 has it's own screenshot hotkey. By default it's the "Print" key. The screenshot is saved in $HOME/Pictures

To find screenshot hotkey: System Settings > Hardware > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Screenshots

[jfernandz]

Yes... my hotkey is "Impr Pt" key in my keyboard, phisical, by defect xD ... But if i have open app or places menus ... the hotkey not works! ... :S

[GhostSquad57]

@WyRe I usually use scrot for taking screenshots. Use a delay of three seconds. scrot -d 3

[jfernandz]

And... where was the problem? ... was my system, your launcher? or me? xD

[GhostSquad57]

@WyRe It was your system; it wasn't loading the steam.desktop file into the applications menu. Copying the desktop file to your local applications directory fixed it, so it couldn't have been a problem with the formatting of the desktop file.

[jfernandz]

But... Why the first time that i try install ur 48-4 version my gnome didn't show the pictures in the Steam's icons in app menu? ... :S

[GhostSquad57]

@WyRe With 48-4, the desktop file didn't point to the correct icon.

The icon problem was an easy fix, it was Steam not showing in the application's menu that was a tricky problem.

[jfernandz]

Thanks for ur work and ur answers ... :P Really nice work :)

Especially because official Steam's package breaks my Gnome and i don't know why... :S

Maybe ... libc6 is a dangerous and important library? ... xD

[GhostSquad57]

@WyRe No problem; I'm always happy to help.

And yeah, libc6 is a VERY dangerous package to upgrade.
