Osu: Linux release does not have an icon set

Created on 19 Aug 2020 · 16Comments · Source: ppy/osu

Describe the bug:
I have no application icon in the Ubuntu 20.04 side panel for OSU!lazer running as shown the attached screenshot. I don't know if it is related not not but I had "accidentally" deleted the ~/.local/share/icons/ folder. Also running the appimage in the terminal shows the following output.

touch: cannot touch '/home/user/.local/share/icons/hicolor/.xdg-icon-resource-dummy': No such file or directory

If it is due to my misdoing then how can I fix that?

Screenshots or videos showing encountered issue:

osu!lazer version:
2020.814.0.0

Sounds like you need to make sure that directory exists. This is completely on you to figure out if that doesn't work - this isn't tech support to revert the actions you've done to your system.

Well, I told that me deleting the ~/.local/share/icons/ folder could be the source of the problem but apparently it was not.

Below here is the same problem when appImage running fresh in a lubuntu OS.

Same problem in another fresh ubuntu 20.04.

Maybe the a clean Ubuntu installation doesn't create that folder by default, try mkdir -p ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor.

I have already tried that. The terminal output of touch: ... is no longer there, but there is still no icon in the panel.

Hmm I've just tried to replicate myself and don't get the icon either, instead the default xfce icon. Perhaps we need to set an icon for the appimage somehow?

Will reopen.

Or... We just need to set the window icon, which we only do for the windows window at the moment. As far as I can tell we need to use https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL_SetWindowIcon.

Fixed in SDL after https://github.com/ppy/osu/pull/10297.

Tested the latest build (2020.1020.0) on two of my Linux machines, both running XFCE on Debian 10. The icon is still missing. No errors in terminal.

@ggliv are you sure you're running with the --sdl command line argument?

Gosh, no I wasn't. Sorry for the confusion. Everything looks good!

Tried it with --sdl argument in 2020.1020.0 build with GNOME 3.38.1 on Xorg on Arch Linux. The icon is still missing.

@acedron what am I looking at in the attached picture? is that a desktop icon or a taskbar one? if the former we're likely not doing whatever the proper incantation is to get linux WMs to display a proper icon if the app is not open. it should however be working when the game is open (in taskbar/Alt-Tab menu).

bdach on 25 Oct 2020

@bdach Sorry forgot to mention. It was a taskbar. Here is a screenshot of Alt+Tab, while game is open.

Edit: This screenshot has an icon set on. I also tried it without an icon set and the icon was still not there.
