I recently upgraded to gnome 2.10 on my ~x86 box. I removed the "Menu Bar" from my panel and added a "Main Menu" object instead (i.e., the small icon rather than the strip of menus). Now when I log into gnome, I get an error dialog which says "Failed to load image gnome-main-menu" "Details: Icon not found". The icon is then the brown no-icon-found default image instead of the black/cyan gnome foot. Is this something I've done or can someone else confirm this error? temporary fix: The directions here told me which gconf key to edit to change to a custom icon: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=22413 Setting the custom icon to gnome-logo-icon-transparent.png works fine.
Exactly the same issue for a non root user. root is ok.
This problem is very strange. What version of gnome-panel do you have in your system? Can you verify the location and permissions of gnome-main-menu.png? (it should be under /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps)
I get the same error message here after just upgrading to gnome-2.10 (gnome-base/gnome-panel-2.10.0). brix@sponge ~ $ find /usr/share/icons/ -name gnome-main-menu.png -exec ls -l {} \; -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2314 Jun 6 10:12 /usr/share/icons/HighContrastLargePrint/48x48/apps/gnome-main-menu.png -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3090 Jun 6 13:05 /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/gnome-main-menu.png -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1992 Jun 6 10:12 /usr/share/icons/LowContrastLargePrint/48x48/apps/gnome-main-menu.png -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2369 Jun 6 10:12 /usr/share/icons/HighContrastLargePrintInverse/48x48/apps/gnome-main-menu.png
What is the value of the gconf key /desktop/gnome/interface/icon_theme in your system? (you can check this doing e.g. "gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/interface/icon_theme") Also, please try starting gnome-session from a terminal and paste here the output that it sends to stdout/stderr.
comment #2: I have gnome-panel 2.10.0 and the icon you asked about is in the path you described. comment #4: That command returns "gnome". I'm pretty sure I tested it using the default theme before and still had the missing icon. Haven't tried gnome- session business. Will try it if I get a chance. (I'm currently travelling so I may not be very responsive to requests for information.)
Hi, My gconf key says "crux" My gnome-session error output is 4.7K, so I'll add it as an attachment. Std out was short and boring.
Created attachment 60754 [details] Output from gnome-session, as done from an xterm

The gnome-main-menu.png image loads fine in an image viewer, so it is not corrupt.
I experience the same problem. Copying /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/gnome-main-menu.png to /usr/share/pixmaps removes the symptom.
Please don't use workarounds as copying the image to /usr/share/pixmaps while we debug the problem. Let's try one more thing before moving to trickier things. Run the following command as root: gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor And tell us if it changes anything. Thanks.
That solution has worked for me. I can now create a main menu without errors.
It works for me too! Great! It said "cache created successfully"
seems to work for me.
`gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor` fixed the problem here as well.
The fix is now part of gnome-panel's ebuild. Thank you all for your help.
That is fixing of symptoms. I think I asked not to cache hicolor yet just because of these reasons, but i guess it didn't get picked up.
I didn't know about foser's plans for handling icon updates, but from what I understand the idea was handling it in gnome2.eclass. For this reason, I've added the function gnome2_icon_cache_update() to the eclass; it's called from gnome2_pkg_post{inst,rm}, so we can start removing any piece of code that calls gtk-update-icon-cache manually from the ebuilds now. If there is any feedback regarding this new function, I suggest we discuss it in another bug, we've abused this one enough :).
