Kmix can't find Chromium icon

amitavmohanty01 · Yesterday 02:14:22

I am getting an error as follows:

```
kmix[2765]: No such icon "chromium-browser"
```

I am interested to know:
1. why is kmix searching for this icon ?
2. why is it unable to find it ?

chromium ships usr/share/icons/hicolor/*/apps/chromium.png - why kmix wants to find that icon is everyones guess - likely for pipewire/pulseaudio stream control (application volume) and an incorrect icon name resolution.
Do you also visually miss an icon or is that just something you randomly saw in the journal?

This is a packaging bug in chromium - The application advertises its icon as "chromium-browser" [1], yet the PKGBUILD manually installs the icons as chromium.png

It is trying to display relevant icon near client (player) program name.

No package providing this icon is installed.

I am basically trying to see where my setup has issues. If Chromium has a packaging bug, do we from Arch side try to solve it by a symlink or do we wait for upstream fixes ?

Why I got curious is that kmix posts this error but I haven't opened the widget to show something. so, I was wondering why is kmix event rying to find this.

kmix is not a widget, it is a standalone application and it populates the list of streams even if you have it minimized in the system tray.
