Description Cedric Sodhi 2011-04-29 12:06:34 UTC
Gentoo ships with icons which need to be installed manually. Please refer to URL for further information. It would be nice if the ebuild could post installation handle that.

Reproducible: Always

I don't see what the problem is. A sed script in the ebuild already makes this change:

and the ebuild also installs a desktop file. I think the latter is what you mean, but I can't see what is wrong with the desktop file (except that it probably shouldn't have the .png filename extension in there.

I'm not sure I follow, either.

You did not specify the version of gentoo you are having trouble with. gentoo-0.19.9 should install all of the included icons in /usr/share/gentoo/icons and configure gentoorc to find them. At least it works for me.

If you are running a stable system and are only using gentoo-0.15.6, there is indeed a problem with the icon path in gentoorc, but it does install all of the icons. It will be fixed when the new version goes stable.

Please unmask gentoo-0.19.9 and let us know if it fixes your problem. Otherwise, we will need more information before we can help.

On a new install it works for me too. It looks like that other gentoo must have been a left-over where that fix had not yet been in. Sorry for the inconvenience.
