Description

in version 3.0~beta4, i’m trying to use the tails-installer. the launcher icon is a specific tails-installer launcher. but when i’m running tails installer, its icon (in the taskbar, when i alt-tab, or in the side dock when i press the pizza key) is just a generic grey rectangle with a fold in the lower-left corner. It should have the launcher’s icon there.

To clarify: the icon for the Tails Installer launcher (/usr/bin/tails-installer-launcher, /usr/share/applications/tails-installer-launcher.desktop) is OK, but the problem dkg describes is about the icon for the Tails Installer (/usr/lib/tails_installer/tails-installer) window. I don’t know how to solve that. Perhaps adding a .desktop for the tails-installer program would be enough? But it would need to be hidden from the applications menu.

I think you can just call set_icon_from_file (https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkWindow.html#gtk-window-set-icon-from-file) on the TailsInstallerWindow

I don’t have this bug in 3.0, can you see if you still have this bug in the last version?

I do see this bug in 3.0. Can you please read the description very carefully (there are a few subtleties that I initially missed myself) and try again?

I can see the correct icon in the taskbar when running tails-installer in Tails 3.0.
-> works in the taskbar, when doing alt-tab, AND in the side dock when i press the pizza (Pizza?) key.

However, (thanks @intrigeri!), there is no correct icone once you’ve clicked on one of the three options (upgrade, install, clone). So basically, tails-installer-launcher does provide the icon while the actual executable tails-installer does not.

This might be due to appstream or some packaging issue (the actual binary lives in /lib).
