GPS Drive icon not present

[Tom]

Binary package hint: gpsdrive

After a fresh install of 8.04 Hardy (running on VMWare, with Gnome), I ran 'sudo apt-get install gpsdrive'. The install proceeded fine, and when it was complete I went to run it. When I click the drop down "Applications" menu in gnome to start it, it can be found in two different sub-menus: Graphics and Internet, neither of which is very accurate, that may also be a bug. The real bug though, is that GPSDrive's icon is not present, and we get a default gnome icon. I verified that the icon *was* present in 7.10, so this appears to be a regression.

This is purely a cosmetic bug, I believe that the program works as advertised.

To fix it for yourself, edit the menu shortcut properties, change icon, navigate to /usr/share/gpsdrive/pixmaps and select gpsicon.png
So the icon is included in the system, just the location is changed or the reference. (don't know how it was in 7.10)

Is this still an issue for you? What Ubuntu version do you use? Thank you for telling us!
