I confirm this, here is a list of missing icons I found: Discord KolourPaint Dropbox Steam (detailed description) Zoom KImageMapEditor GCompris eFatura GNUOctave (category learning) Labplot Beside, it seems to me related to some crashes: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2265429 Fedora 40, gnome-software 46.beta, from "Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-40-20240221.n.0.iso" Thanks for a bug report. I suppose with Flatpak you mean "Flathub.org", right? There are multiple Flatpak repositories.
The icons are not part of the gnome-software (and cannot be). The applications are recognized by the appstream data, which is provided by some ways (appstream-data package for the Fedora itself, then Flatpak repositories provide their own appstream data, and so on). The repositories are responsible to have the icons avaiable, especially when they modify the app-provided appstream data (which Flathub.org does).
I believe the Flathub.org regenerated the appstream data recently and it had been downloaded by the gnome-software, but they reference incorrect place for the icons, thus they are not shown. When you run gnome-software from a terminal you might see some runtime warnings there. Note the gnome-software runs in the background, thus you need to stop it first with `gnome-software --quit` or a kill command.
I do not have a problem with Steam, but I see on the console:
08:30:53:012 Gtk Failed to load icon /var/lib/flatpak/appstream/flathub/x86_64/active/icons/64x64/org.kde.gcompris.desktop.png:
Error opening file /var/lib/flatpak/appstream/flathub/x86_64/active/icons/64x64/org.kde.gcompris.desktop.png: No such file or directory
Looking into /var/lib/flatpak/appstream/flathub/x86_64/active/icons/64x64/ there are cached a lot of icons, but none is gcompris. I do have there a Steam icon though.
The GCompris appstream data from the flathub says:
<icon height="64" type="cached" width="64">org.kde.gcompris.desktop.png</icon>
<icon height="128" type="remote" width="128">https://dl.flathub.org/media/org/kde/gcompris.desktop/711031e7ea78aa8b9bde7c2a381d556d/icons/128x128/org.kde>
<icon height="128" type="cached" width="128">org.kde.gcompris.desktop.png</icon>
<icon type="stock">org.kde.gcompris</icon>
where the gnome-software picked the first one.
As long as flatpak claims the icon is cached, it should be cached, thus I move this to the flatpak.
Please note this had been filled against Fedora 39, but I see this also with flatpak-1.15.6-3.fc40.x86_64, thus I move this to Fedora 40.
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 40 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 40 on 2025-05-13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a 'version' of '40'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora Linux 40 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version prior to this bug being closed. Fedora Linux 40 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2025-05-13. Fedora Linux 40 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora Linux please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Note that the version field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see the version field. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against an active release. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
