Hardy Alpha 4 Install wizard icon bad

[David Balažic]

Ubuntu 8.04 alpha 4 i386 desktop CD

The install wizard icon on the desktop is an empty sheet of paper instead of something meaningsful.

Thanks for your report. I can confirm this issue.

It's worse than this.
I've just performed a clean install from the alternative installer. If I add a launcher from the menu to the desktop (e.g. firefox) I get the launcher without an icon - just the empty sheet of paper. The launcher works however.
Right clicking to get properties and then selecting the launcher tab should allow me to change the icon. However, the option is not there. It is not possible to change from the sheet of paper at all. However, if I right click on the desktop and manually add a launcher such as firefox, the firefox icon is correctly displayed. However, again, there is no option to change the icon.
Oddly, if I add a launcher from the menu to the panel there is no problem.

Sorry meant to say "basic tab" above as opposed to "launcher tab". The remainder is correct - the icon cannot be changed from the sheet of paper one.

I confirm this issue, it also happens on the amd64 liveCD

Hope it will be fixed soon :)

Thanks for your report. This is also bug 188221, since fixed. Any issues with other desktop icons are separate bugs.
