Missing suspend icon with non-human theme

Cosmetic bugs are usually Low, but since that's such an often-seen/important dialog/option, I'm marking this Medium.

The gnome-icon-theme also has this problem and it is by default installed.

The is a screenshot attached.

Just for the record, the icon naming of gnome session dialog seems weird, see Bug #274889.

The gnome-icon-theme doesn't have suspend/hibernate icon may be based on the fact that the original gnome session dialog doesn't use icons for suspend/hibernate buttons, which may also be an explanation to the tango icon theme. In Ubuntu Intrepid, the gnome-session package got patched to display icon for each action, therefore the missing of these icon may have led to this issue. I removed the link to the gnome bug report (which I've also marked as obsolete) cause it seems not a upstream bug.

Due to the irregular naming scheme used in the patch (drive-harddisk for hibernate, sleep for suspend), how to fix this bug would depend on if and how Bug #274889 is going to be fixed.

actually, all of the icon themes i have seen (including the extra ones, like in gnome-themes-extras for example) do not have a suspend icon. the only theme that does is the human icon theme, and that icon looks ugly as hell. i liked the alternatively colored power sign much better.

this is probably a gnome bug then, because none of the icon themes know what icon gnome is asking for!

these are not bugs in the icon themes, this is a bug with gnome requesting the suspend icon. it is probably because of a typo.

please assign the CORRECT package. these are not bugs in the tango icon theme, or the gnome icon theme, or the gion icon theme, or the crux icon theme, or the foxtrot icon theme, or the mist icon theme, or the tangerine icon theme, or the dropline neu! icon theme, or any icon theme. this is a bug in gnome, specifically, when gnome requests the suspend icon.

this bug is still present in Ubuntu 9.04

Missing in Jaunty on a default install as confirmed by comments. I would say this is a very visible cosmetic issue which would be rather embarrassing to miss!

Actually, it seems like the shutdown dialog is just ignoring the theme, as nothing about it looks particularly right. Has anyone else noticed this and thinks it could be the case?

Yes, this seems like a problem with the way the code is referencing themes in general.

Okay, I've Invalidated the icon-theme tasks as it doesn't seem to be their fault. Kenneth, let me know if it turns out that it is.

Might help to add the icon to hicolor in gnome-session (usr/share/gnome-session/icons/hicolor/<size>/actions)
Some info on how to do it here: http://live.gnome.org/ThemableAppSpecificIcons/

This will hopefully make it work for themes that don't inherit human-icon-theme (ie most of them).

I believe bug 274889 is indeed the root cause of this problem, as suggested by Peng Deng on October 4th.

Yes, looks like these are all dupes of bug #320921 which was fixed with recent updates. I'll move them over with a confirmation or two that this issue is fixed after updating and restarting (seems to be necessary, or at least a new log in).

The underlying theme bug was fixed, in the default theme the dialog looks fine. The remaining issue is that with non-human themes you don't have a suspend icon. But that's not a regression, thus taking off the release radar.

This is not a dup of #320921. This is a bug in Ubuntu's changes to the shut down dialog, referencing an icon that does not exist in the gnome theme. As Andreas has stated a couple times now, it's a very simple fix. The dialog currently looks poor in quality, with the missing icon, for other themes. :-/

What is the name of the icon that the dialog is pointing?

If we know that name (if it is pointing anywhere), we can add the icon to the correct path as a workaround, and wait until it gets fixed.

For example, there are icons for suspend/hibernate inside /usr/share/gnome-power-manager/icons for Tango theme, or someone could decide to make their own/use an existing one until they are included in the icon themes.

Thanks!

As far as I understand the window that is opened by "shut down" is looking for an icon named "sleep", not "gnome-session-suspend". If you copy and rename all gnome-session-suspend icons as sleep.png, then this problem disappears

This bug creates distortion when you use any ordinary gnome icon theme. I am not a programmer or anything but I believe it should not be hard to fix, just call "gnome-session-suspend.png" instead of "sleep.png" whenever necessary

Is anyone still experiencing this issue in Jaunty? I thought the dialog that presented this is now gone. How can one reproduce this issue with a current Jaunty?

If you remove FUSA, the shut down options go back into the System menu. I
think there's a way to get the dialog through the System menu in that case,
but I'm not using GNOME anymore, so I can't say exactly how.

Thanks Mackenzie for the info, you are indeed correct. Since this doesn't affect a default installation I'll mark it as an Invalid paper cut.

However I am using a non-human theme (gnome-colors) and now have a suspend icon on that dialog so I still think this is fixed. Let me know if anyone still sees a broken suspend icon on that dialog.

This is still visible in the "Shut Down the Computer" dialogue. This can either be raised by clicking the "Shut Down" option in the System menu (which intuitively enough, completely disappears if you have activated the Fast User Switch panel applet), or by pressing the Power button on a laptop. If you are using a non-Human icon theme, the icon you see next to Suspend is "image-missing" (Tango version at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Image-missing.svg ), which sticks out like a sore thumb.

As someone mentioned, Tango icons already exist for suspend and hibernate (see http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gnome-power-manager/tree/data/icons/scalable/actions ). As a highly-visible part of the operating system, this deserves fixing.

To clarify, this can be reproduced on a default install. Simply switch to one of the other three pack-in icon themes (GNOME, High Contrast Inverse or Tangerine) and you'll see the GNOME variant of image-missing ( http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gnome-image-missing.svg ) instead of a Suspend icon.

This is happening to me too. I'm running Jaunty and get exactly the same symptoms (i.e. no suspend or hibernate icon after resuming from suspend).
Is there any way to manually fix this issue whilst waiting for a bugfix?, as this limits the number of suspend times to 1, before I need to reboot. This totally defeats the object of having a suspend feature if you can only use it once.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated

This is not the same problem. The problem here is that the code
references an icon name which is only provided by the Human theme, and
not any others. It has nothing to do with any technical problems which
may result from actually using suspend functionality.

You seem to be having a separate issue with technical functionality of
the suspend feature. It sounds like perhaps gnome-settings-daemon is
crashing when you resume from suspend. I would suspect that if those two
icons are missing, a lot more are also missing on your desktop, or are
certainly not Human icons. However, the "GNOME" icon theme does provide
the icon which the shutdown dialog uses for hibernate (a hard disk), so
I concur that it is very likely gnome-settings-daemon is crashing on
your system. You should file a separate bug report against that package
in Ubuntu, and hopefully a crash report got saved which you can attach
with "apport-collect -p gnome-settings-daemon $yournewbugnumber".

Hi
Thanks for the rely. Sorry to disagree with you but the symptoms I am experiencing are exactly the same as those previously noted in this thread, i.e. missing suspend / hibernate icons when resuming. This happens when any other theme (except the default gnome theme) is selected, irrespective of whether it is a downloaded theme or one shipped with Jaunty.
Everything else on my desktop functions correctly - just the suspend and hibernate entries are missing after resuming.

steveb001, your problem is really another issue. The problem inside this bug is, that the icon is missing. Please take a look at the screenshot inside the second posting http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18143355/Screenshot-Shut%20Down%20the%20Computer.png The option to suspend or hibernate is there, only the icon is missing. If your resumed and the option to resume another time, than this is for sure another issue

OK thanks for clarifying. I don't get the suspend / hibernate icons when I click on the "green Man" in the top panel - this is where my icons are missing. If this is unrelated then I'll raise another bug (or try rebuilding my PC to see if it goes away)

this bug has been fixed in Ubuntu 9.10

I've seen this bug all through Jaunty and the development releases of karmic, I'm still seeing the bug in Karmic at this date.
gnome-session: 2.27.5-0ubuntu1

I've ran into this bug also. Karmic Koala, Tango icon theme, no suspend icon. Solved it this way:
- sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/icons/Tango/48x48/apps
- sudo ln -s /usr/share/gnome-power-manager/icons/hicolor/48x48/actions/gpm-suspend.png /usr/share/icons/Tango/48x48/apps/sleep.png
