Picard icon doesn't appear

#1 Post by Deblib »

Hi, I installed Picard and the icon does not appear in Applications. If I run it on Terminal, I get this:

Code: Select all

~$ picard
sh: 1: gconftool-2: not found
W: 21:05:48 Plugin directory '/usr/lib/picard/contrib/plugins' doesn't exist
How can I fix it?

Which version of debian are you running? How have you installed picard? Which desktop environment do you use?
Have a nice day!

Picard had an icon in Debian Jessie.

Plugin directory '/usr/lib/picard/contrib/plugins' doesn't exist
https://packages.debian.org/stretch/amd ... d/filelist

/usr/lib/picard/picard/plugins/

/usr/share/applications/picard.desktop
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps/picard.png
Maybe a packaging problem? Try renaming the subdirectory for the first issue, and look for the .desktop file and icons to see if they are there?

the latter message is just a warning (about the non-existent dir).

so it's working now, and the menu icon is the only problem?

Deblib, you need to get a little more proactive here.

you can use

Code: Select all

dpkg -L picard
to look at what got installed.
one of them will be a .desktop file, which is responsible for menu entry.
but inside that plain text file can be entries which prevent it from showing up.
something with desktop environments...
please post the content of that file and the output for

the .desktop file does not specify which DE it belongs to.
wild guess:
maybe gnome classic puts ONLY gnome applications in its menu.
you can copy the .desktop file to ~/.local/share/applications - use the command line folr this, keep the filename identical - and edit it to include a specific DE (look at other .desktop files to see what i mean).

If I search on Nautilus "picard desktop" I see only a file called "MusicBrainz Picard" which is in /usr/share/applications

you need to do all this with the command line because the gui filemanager treats desktop fiels specially.

don't be root and use nano (or something even more masochistic) to edit.

yes DE=desktop entry, probably meant Desktop Environment

If it does not show up in whatever, it might be a bug .desktop files are pretty reliable, but it could happen. If you check the bug reports for the pkg that installed the .desktop file, and find it is not a known bug, it it might help others who have the same issue if you can find a way to alter the .desktop file for the app, you can include that fix in the bug report.

Deblib, you aren't really doing anything to solve your problem.
you're just dumping more output on us.
i'm pretty sure my advice so far specified actions to be taken.

...for instance, find another .desktop file that does work, alter the bad one to look like it.
