xdg-icon-resource: No writable system icon directory found.

[bodtx]

trying to install it on Linux Mint 17.2 with the PPA and I have this error

Paramétrage de emojione-picker (0.1~git20160229) ... xdg-icon-resource: No writable system icon directory found.

Please, try this:

sudo mkdir /usr/share/desktop-directories/

And then, reinstall again. If that fixes the problem, it's a bug in xdg and I will workaround it for next release.

+1 also experiencing this on ubuntu gnome 16.04

[gentakojima]

Good news: I can reproduce this on a fresh installation of Ubuntu Gnome 16.04. Bad news: I still have no clue on what's going on, but I'm on it.

While I can't fix it, I've added a workaround that should be live in the ppa in a while for trusty (Edit: Should be live now for trusty, wily and xenial - version 0.1~git20160614). That version should install fine, at least. Unfortunately, icons won't be installed to the theme, so you will see the default yellow unthemed icon in the indicator, and no icon at all in the dash.

Once I fix this, I'll release another update that should install the icons properly. I'll leave the issue opened until I can fix this properly.

Ok, I inderstand the problem now. The ubuntu-mono and ubuntu-mono-dark theme icons are not installed, and I install the icons to those themes only.

I definitely should also install an icon in the default theme. That should fix the problem for Ubuntu Gnome, Linux Mint and other distros. I'll fix this soon.

@gentakojima The icons should be installed on Hicolor? as it's the default theme i guess

[gentakojima]

It is? Do you known where I can take a look at that? "default" seems to point to the default icon theme in all distributions I tested so far.

On ubuntu 12.04 I've just installed the package hicolor-icon-theme
