No icon in Ubuntu dock

[probonopd]

No icon in Ubuntu 14.04 dock (and possibly others):

Probably an icon needs to be set on the BrowserWindow?

win = new BrowserWindow({
   ...
   icon: path.join(__dirname, '/icon/Icon-512x512.png')
})

Reference:

• Linux AppImage icon does not show up electron-userland/electron-builder#2269 (comment)

@probonopd
Thanks for this report but we are already doing that.

This is possibly a problem with Unity Desktop. I myself experience it during development and it seemed random. But stopped experiencing this when I upgraded to Gnome.

Also, I read somewhere that icon does not show up when we run AppImage using terminal but works if we run the application from desktop entry. Please try that too.

That is true only if the application does not set the window icon...

I guess you are right. But we already have an icon set on the window.

jitsi-meet-electron/main.js

Line 177 in cfd2e53

icon: path.resolve(basePath, './resources/icons/icon_512x512.png'),

We have tested on Ubuntu with Gnome and Fedora, so this must be problem with Unity Desktop.
I'll take a look if this is a mistake on application side again.
Thanks for reporting this.

I will also try out different desktops and report back here. Thanks.

I can confirm that it works on Xubuntu 18.04 regardless of how it was launched:

Hey @probonopd

Thanks for checking that.

I also tested this on Ubuntu 18.04 and 16.04 with Unity . I couldn't find anything and I actually was unable to reproduce this on Ubuntu 16.04 with unity (on which I experienced this earlier). So I don't think this is an issue on the application side.

Do you think we can close this? or it needs further investigation.

Possibly related to electron-userland/electron-builder#748 (comment)?

Thanks @probonopd 😄
I'll update electron-builder.
