Stephen, Colin Just a correction to my last post. There is no problem with the icon installation on Linux Mint 18.3. It seems to possibly be a problem with Nemo (Linux Mint file explorer) rather than the installation. All of the icon files are actually there but there is something with the permissions that does not allow Nemo to see them if it is not opened as root despite, all the files having read permissions for all users (and only for gnucash files). I have closed and reopened Nemo in case it had somehow manged to get that instance into a wierd state but the behavior seems to be reproducible.
It is a really weird situation, as with Nemo not open as root I can see the icon and files in/usr/share/gnucash/pixmaps but not in /usr/share/gnucash/icons/hicolor/16x16/actions or any of the other icon directories (shows as 0 items) yet with Nemo opened as root I can see them all yet for any directories under /usr/share/gnucash, e.g. checks, I can see all the contents in both yet there is no difference in the permissions of the files (-rw-r--r-) or the directories (drwxr-xr-x) for the text files in checks or the png files in the icon directories. The ownership and group of all files and directories is root, root as you would expect. If I use a terminal I can of course see the files at all levels with and without root permissions. Yet I have checked other software directories e.g. /usr/local/share/icons and I have no problem seeing .png files in similar shares which all have the above directory and file permissions without opening as root. I will check on the Linux Mint forums to see if anyone else has experienced the same problem with Nemo. ----- David Cousens -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
