Description Carl Symons 2011-12-15 20:27:51 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.7.3) 
OS:                Linux

Network Manager is shown in the top bar of PA2, but the icon is a sheet with a question mark.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
launch PA2

Actual Results:  
all icons appeared in top bar, except for Network Manager

Expected Results:  
Expected to see the antenna radiating waves of goodness and light...or whatever

not a big problem here. I know what that icon does. For someone unfamiliar with PA2, it might be an issue.

Can you check if the file /usr/share/kde4/apps/desktoptheme/air-mobile/icons/network.svgz exists? That file contains the icons for wifi and ethernet used by Plasma NM.

Comment 2 Carl Symons 2011-12-24 17:52:10 UTC

/usr/share/kde4/apps/desktoptheme/air-mobile/icons/network.svgz doesn't show up.

network.svgz copied from
https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/102827/ to the .../icons directory and it now shows up in a directory listing.

After a cold restart, the Network Manager icon in the top bar is still a question mark.

I'm posting this in case someone knows something else needed to fix this. And will be exploring further.

Comment 3 Dainius Masiliūnas 2011-12-26 22:46:14 UTC

Confirmed. Also happened in PA1. Also, the graphics of the menu that appears when the NetworkManager icon is pressed are rather glitchy.

Comment 4 Carl Symons 2011-12-27 15:56:42 UTC

Here PA1 displayed networkmanagement icon properly.

Confirm glitchy graphics on dropdown, but this is probably not related to the icon. Click the icon...characters are overwritten...click to disappear and click again...characters are correct.

/usr/share/kde4/apps/networkmanagement/networkmanagement.notifyrc
In addition to translations, contains IconName=networkmanager
not "network"

ExoPC
openSUSE 12.1, with PA installed according to community.kde.org/Plasma/Active/Installation

Comment 5 Lamarque V. Souza 2012-01-02 14:41:57 UTC

I think kde-runtime install the icon in /usr/share/kde4/apps/desktoptheme/default/icons/network.svgz. It exists here in my MeeGo image.

IconName=networkmanager in networkmanagement.notifyrc is correct. networkmanager.png is the bitmap version of the Plasma NM icon, network.svgz contains the SVG icons for wifi and ethernet system tray icons. network.svgz is used only on the system tray icon, in all other places Plasma NM uses .png icons, like networkmanager.png. The default system tray icon is networkmanager.png, it is only is only shown when Plasma NM does not detect any NM activity, which is very rare. The overlays used in the system tray icon are also .png icons.

Can you attach screenshots of the problems? I do not have Plasma NM installed in my MeeGo image.

Comment 6 Carl Symons 2012-01-02 16:17:12 UTC

On a fresh install...
confirm that network.svgz is installed in /usr/share/kde4/apps/desktoptheme/default/icons
it is not installed in .../air-mobile/icons/ as you suggested previously/above

screenshot of placeholder icon will be sent in separate comment...file chooser doesn't wanna
