gufw icon gone

With gufw version 20.04.1-1 the gufw icon no longer appears in the settings menu, or in any other menu.

ufw and gufw continue to work as normal, and I can start gufw from terminal. It brings this error as it starts, however

(gufw.py:1530): Gtk-WARNING **: 06:48:35.513: Could not load image '/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/gufw.png': Failed to open file “/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/gufw.png”: No such file or directory

which might be the problem.

I'm using xfce4, but looking at that error this should be a problem related to gufw itself.
Already tried to re-install with no success.

To where should I report this problem? I tried the gufw.org website, but for some reason the support link doesn't work.

Re: gufw icon gone

This might explain it:

$ pkgfile gufw.png
community/faenza-icon-theme
community/gufw
community/mate-icon-theme-faenza
community/moka-icon-theme
$ sudo pkgfile --update
:: Updating 3 repos...

$ pkgfile gufw.png
community/faenza-icon-theme
community/mate-icon-theme-faenza
community/moka-icon-theme
community/ukui-themes

EDIT: It's not in the gufw package anymore, although the application seems to reference it. This is either an Arch package bug or the png is missing in the sources.

Look at the package site and observe the changelog. It doesn't seem like the PKGBUILD explicitly removes this file, so my money is on the sources. I'd chat with the gufw maintainer and then file a bug report upstream. You could file a bug report at the Arch tracker, too, but I guess this will end upstream.

Re: gufw icon gone

I have a similar issue, but in my case GUFW cannot be initiated with it's shortcut from Desktop.

P.S.

When I try to run GUFW from terminale I get this

$ sudo gufw
/usr/bin/gufw: linia 2: [: =: oczekiwano operatora jednoargumentowego

so I wanted to ask about this error on this forum and run it "in English", and it started (!) normally with this

$ LC_ALL=C sudo gufw
/usr/bin/gufw: line 2: [: =: unary operator expected

(gufw.py:7493): Gtk-WARNING **: 20:07:33.464: Could not load image '/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/gufw.png': Failed to open file ?/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/gufw.png?: No such file or directory

Have you found a solutiuon or it't the only way to use:
LC_ALL=C sudo gufw
?
