Insomnia: [Bug] Icon disappears after update to 6.5.3

[GrayedFox]

• Insomnia Version: 6.5.3 (installed via aptitude)
• Operating System: Ubuntu 18.04 (LTS)

Details

Icon disappears (replaced by generic settings icon) after updating to version 6.5.3. To be honest I think I had the aptitude as well as snap package, so I removed both, then reinstalled the snap package only, and the icon is back now.

Got a little suspicious since I noticed in the change log a change to the behaviour of the icon installation (now only done during update).

Will keep you posted if the next patch/minor version bump removes the icon again!

Best

For those landing here from various parts of the interwebs, here's a one line workaround (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, no guarantees for other *nix flavours):

sudo apt remove insomnia && sudo snap remove insomnia && sudo snap install insomnia

Link for discussion about using sudo for installing snap

Important: your collections will be gone after a fresh install like that, back them up if you need them (we have them synced)

Same here on Linux Mint

Hmm, I _did_ change the icon in the last release. Must have goofed something up on Linux. Will take a look!

@markkrj can you please explain your comment?

[markkrj]

It diffs the 6.5.1 and 6.5.3 packages... 6.5.3 misses all the icons from 6.5.1 and adds hicolor/0x0/... I extracted the icons from 6.5.1 to fix the issue for me temporarily.

[andreldm]

I couldn't find anything in the freedesktop specs or gtk implementation telling anything against icons in hicolor/0x0, but it seems to be not supported. Check out this icon tester:
https://gist.github.com/andreldm/b971fa0d671a90ae133650f85ce2836a

gtk_icon_theme_lookup_icon can't find insomnia's icon when it's on hicolor/0x0.

Now run:

sudo convert /usr/share/icons/hicolor/0x0/apps/insomnia.png -resize 32x32 /usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/insomnia.png
sudo touch /usr/share/icons/hicolor
sudo gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor

Now the icon tester is able to find the icon as expected.

Can confirm that latest update fixes this issue (updating Insomnia this time did not remove Linux icon) @gschier just FYI :+1: thanks!

[josdejong]

FIxed indeed, though for some reason the linux ppa (https://support.insomnia.rest/article/23-installation#ubuntu) doesn't have the latest 6.5.4 on my machine. Can be an issue on my side. Manually downloading and installing the .deb file worked.

[Alcsaw]

Is this issue is back on 7.0.1?

Icon has disappeared here on Kubuntu 19.04, after upgrading Insomnia and rebooting...

[josdejong]

I have the same, icon is gone after installing 7.0.1 on Linux Mint.

[algomaks]

Yep, the same old issue again with 7.0.1 on Ubuntu 18.04.

[gaspar-d]

Here we go again, same.
Arch 5.3.6-arch1-1-ARCH
Cinnamon 4.2.4

[mengyaoss77]

same on 7.0.2

[masonlong]

same on 7.0.3
(arch/manjaro)

[domhnallw]

Yep, back in 7.0.2/7.0.3 on Ubuntu 18.04. Fixed it by re-creating the icon at all the relevant sizes using the approach by @andreldm above and normal service is now resumed.

[ajyotirmay]

I guess this issue needs to be re-opened
