Liviu, Launchpad bugs can only be filed for software projects. For that to work, LyX would need to be registered in Launchpad as a project (currently it is only a package within the Ubuntu project). However, since LyX already has its own Trac instance, this might be redundant, and the LyX Trac might be the best place to register bugs related to the packages in the ~lyx-devel PPA (as opposed to bugs in the official Ubuntu LyX packages).
About the actual issue, my suggestion is to consult the packaging code used by Ubuntu itself. This can be done by: 1. Navigate https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lyx 2. Click "Code" near the top 3. Choose a release, e.g. lp:ubuntu/precise/lyx 4. Click "Browse the code" 5. View the contents of the "debian" directory I suspect that in the file lyx.desktop, the line: Icon=lyx …must be changed to: Icon=lyx.svg …or perhaps a more complete path, e.g. /usr/share/lyx/images/lyx.svg. If I make this latter change manually on my system, Ubuntu uses the SVG icon. However, I'm not familiar enough with Debian/Ubuntu packaging to know how to accomplish this automatically. At step #3 above, you can see the names of some Ubuntu devs who have modified the packaging code for LyX in the past. Perhaps if you contact them they can quickly explain how. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/938235 Title: Application needs hi-res or SVG icon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lyx/+bug/938235/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
