I can confirm that Paul's solution works fine on my build too. That is, "Icon=lyx.svg" does not work, but "Icon=/usr/share/lyx/images/lyx.svg" works fine.
FWIW, I'm not sure to what the default "Icon=lyx" actually refers. I tried changing these files, but it doesn't seem to use any of these as a source. /usr/share/app-install/icons/lyx.png /usr/share/lyx/images/lyx.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/lyx.png -- 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 ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
