 Posted: Wed Jun 08, 2005 6:00 am Post subject: [Solved] Missing XMMS icon |
 |
|
After upgrading gnome to 2.10 I no longer have an icon for XMMS in my applications menu. After looking through the .desktop .menu and .directory files nothing seems incorrect. I've run update-desktop-database with no effect. Remerging xmms had no effect. Is anyone else having this problem?
Here's the xmms.desktop file (minus comments for other languages)
| Code: | [Desktop Entry]
Name=XMMS
Comment=X Multimedia System
<snip>
Encoding=Legacy-Mixed
Exec=/usr/bin/xmms
Icon=mini/xmms_mini.xpm
MimeType=audio/x-scpls;audio/x-mpegurl;audio/mpegurl;audio/mp3;audio/x-mp3;audi\o/mpeg;audio/x-mpeg;audio/x-wav;application/x-ogg
Terminal=0
Type=Application
Categories=Application;AudioVideo;
|
and multimedia.directory
| Code: |
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Sound & Video
<snip>
Icon=gnome-multimedia
Type=Directory
Encoding=UTF-8

I am having this same problem. Gnome says the icon doesn't exist even though I can verify through the terminal that it is definitely there.
EDIT: I found /usr/share/pixmaps/gxmms_mini.png works as a perfect replacement.
EDIT2: Btw, I later realized this extra icon came from gxmms applet for the gnome panel that I installed earlier.

Go to /usr/share/applications.
Edit the xmms.desktop file.
Change the Encoding field to UTF-8. That should do it. To test run: gnome-menus-spec-test. That will list what gnome sees as valid menu items.
If you want the icon to show up you'll have to change the Icon field to /usr/share/pixmaps/mini/xmms_mini.xpm. It doesn't look like relative paths are working in the desktop files.
Log out and log back in.
Hope that helps. |

That got it working, thanks.
Just running update-desktop-database after you edit the file will get it in the menu, saves you the time of logging out and back in. |

| Glad it worked. Good to know about the update-desktop-database command. I thought there should of been something like it but thought it would of started with gnome-. |
