[bilelmoussaoui]

Is there any output ?

[Feichtmeier]

It's german :( But it is like "didn't find that commad" (in the path?)

[bilelmoussaoui]

It's not hardecode-tray but hardcode-tray :P

[Feichtmeier]

Yeah typo there but it really can't be found. Normally it was found with TAB autocomplete.

[bilelmoussaoui]

@Feichtmeier Can you check if you have anything under /opt/Hardcode-Tray? Something like ls -la /opt/Hardcode-Tray/ would be great :) also which hardcode-tray
Thanks

I can run the script from within opt now since the last update (5 mins ago updated with your ppa) I have no idea how to check the version without the terminal command

Oh god... and now my chrome icon is blurry :( Since I ran the script from opt

edit: okay ... I reinstalled it after updating the ppa and now I have the version hardcode-tray (3.5.2.1728ubuntu16.04.1)
But all icons (skype, playmusic, and chrome are blurry now) .. Okay I will remove the ppa and install it manually

[bilelmoussaoui]

It seems that the PPA is broken. Can you please follow the manual installation in the README ? It's just one line to copy paste in your terminal. Please make sure to remove the current version. Once it's done can you report back if everything's working fine ?

[Feichtmeier]

Okay I removed the ppa and purged the ppa version and installed it manually.
Now skype and play music got their sharp icons back but chrome is still blurry. :(

[bilelmoussaoui]

Which version of Chrome are you using ? Have you killed chrome and tried again? a restart would do the same thing

[Feichtmeier]

Yup, killed it, rebooted, still the same. Used the revert command and still The blurry icon.
Version is the most up to date version from the google ppa:
56.0.2924.87

[bilelmoussaoui]

Ah okey, try using an other icon size for chrome hardcode-tray --only google-chrome --size 22 or even 16 if 22 isn't enough for you :)

[Feichtmeier]

Hm... tried all sizes and still the blurry icon :( Sorry for stealing your time

[bilelmoussaoui]

Hmmm, i have really no idea about that! :( Do you have something else other than Unity to try it on? We have tried it on Unity and everything was working perfectly! The same on Gnome, mate, xfce and KDE!

Also, it seems that the conversion tool used by Hardcode-Tray is ImageMagick. do you have Inkscape installed? if so try forcing it using hardcode-tray -ct Inkscape which will use it to convert the icons from SVG to PNG instead of ImageMagick (which sucks a little :p, was added only for the sake of not forcing users to use only Inkscape or another conversion tool)

[Feichtmeier]

Atm only Unity here. It worked for me perfectly too for many versions.
Can I manually remove the chrome icons? Would it help to reinstall chrome?

[bilelmoussaoui]

Give it a try and let me know :) Try something like hardcode-tray --update-git to update to the latest git version and see if it fixes the issue for you

[Feichtmeier]

I reinstalled chrome and deleted all folders in .cache .config of hardcode tray and chrome and now I got the old google icon back 🗡️
And your script doesn't change anything at all now :(

Papirus had a ppa update too today maybe there is any connection to your script?

[bilelmoussaoui]

I will take a look today ;) when you run the script, can you paste the output ?

[bilelmoussaoui]

What's the version of Google chrome ? Can you get me the log under tmp file ?

[Feichtmeier]

Chrome Version is 56.0.2924.87

The logs in /tmp are empty

[bilelmoussaoui]

Can you ping me on Telegram? This way i can get you sort this out easily :)

[Feichtmeier]

Sure, is there any other option than to share phone numbers on github? :D

[bilelmoussaoui]

Fixed

@bil-elmoussaoui Hi, I want to inform you that using PPA still stops hardcode-tray from being run from terminal. I can run app from /opt/Hardcode-Tray/ and also running --update-git fixes it (at least to the next update trough PPA).

[bilelmoussaoui]

@wa4557 Can you check the PPA once you've some free time? it must be a symlink issue; or at worst you can add @varlesh as a collaborator on launchpad and let's see if he have some free time to get this fixed :)

[andia89]

I'll do that:) I should have a bit more freetime from now on
