Evince not shown in menu after install

[jpg153]

Hi,

me again

I installed evince from the salix repo. All ran fine, but after finishing I cannot find evince in the menus...

Something missing or broken...how to fix?

[thenktor]

Probably it is fixed after a XFCE restart. Otherwise it's a package fault.

It's a bug package, Evince's icons are in the wrong dir :

Code: Select all

/usr/share/evince/icons/hicolor
/usr/share/evince/icons/hicolor/16x16
/usr/share/evince/icons/hicolor/16x16/actions
/usr/share/evince/icons/hicolor/16x16/actions/zoom-fit-page.png
/usr/share/evince/icons/hicolor/16x16/actions/view-page-continuous.png
/usr/share/evince/icons/hicolor/16x16/actions/zoom-fit-width.png
/usr/share/evince/icons/hicolor/16x16/actions/view-page-facing.png
/usr/share/evince/icons/hicolor/16x16/actions/zoom.png
/usr/share/evince/icons/hicolor/32x32
/usr/share/evince/icons/hicolor/32x32/actions
/usr/share/evince/icons/hicolor/32x32/actions/view-page-continuous.png
/usr/share/evince/icons/hicolor/32x32/actions/view-page-facing.png
/usr/share/evince/icons/hicolor/22x22
/usr/share/evince/icons/hicolor/22x22/actions
...

instead of /usr/share/icons/hicolor/....

Actually it's a problem with

Code: Select all

NoDisplay=true

in the evince.desktop file. Makes no sense that the evince developers put it there. New package arriving in the repos shortly.

Ok,

so I first need to uninstall before I can apply the new package, right?

[gapan]

Just

Code: Select all

slapt-get -u
slapt-get --upgrade

Now Evince is in the Xfce menu, but without icon
Don't you think that it is related too to the Icons location ?

[gapan]

No. The icons are there allright (and I do get them):

Code: Select all

$ find /usr/share/icons |grep evince
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/evince.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/24x24/apps/evince.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/22x22/apps/evince.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/evince.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/evince.svg

but it's sort of a bug with xfce, because it doesn't instantly find new icons. A logout/login always fixes it.

[fredg]

Oh yes, you're right.
**fredg will put his glued eyes under the water ...

What about adding an update-desktop-database in the doinst.sh ?

I would prefer to find if there are some icons in a package and doing a update-desktop-database only if it's the case.
