Google-play-music-desktop-player-unofficial-: Snap package google-play-music-desktop-player does not provide an application icon in GNOME on Ubuntu 18.04

[dylanmtaylor]

Hello,

I installed the google-play-music-desktop-player package on Ubuntu 18.04 using the command sudo snap install google-play-music-desktop-player and it works well. The only issue I have is that the Application icon is generic instead of showing the logo.

Although the snap metadata is in this repository it is not an officially supported installation method (in fact I have basically no idea how it works). I'd take a PR to fix it but it's not something I can deal with

For those who still look for a local fix :

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MarshallOfSound/Google-Play-Music-Desktop-Player-UNOFFICIAL-/master/src/assets/icons/svg/vector_logo.svg
mkdir -p ~/.icons
mv vector_logo.svg ~/.icons/google-play-music-desktop-player.svg

The proposed fix with putting the icon to ~/.icons/google-play-music-desktop-player.svg does not seem to work anymore. :slightly_frowning_face:

(On a Ubuntu 18.04 machine using snap google-play-music-desktop-player version 4.6.1.

@s3huber odd, I just tried it and it's working for me. Same ubuntu and player version. I installed via Ubuntu Software manager, perhaps that makes a difference?

mkdir -p ~/.icons
mv vector_logo.svg ~/.icons/google-play-music-desktop-player.svg

This worked for me. Thank you! (Linux Mint 19.1/Snap)
This bug is not occurring when installing using Flatpak.

wget solution to .icons is just great! Yay! Still not sure why it isn't just mkdir and wget to the directory tho...


mkdir -p ~/.icons && wget -O ~/.icons/google-play-music-desktop-player.svg https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MarshallOfSound/Google-Play-Music-Desktop-Player-UNOFFICIAL-/master/src/assets/icons/svg/vector_logo.svg
