Adept only looks on /usr/share/pixmaps.

I can confirm that some icons are missing which are in /usr/share/app-install/icons, but there are also some icons present which are in /usr/share/app-install/icons and not in /usr/share/pixmaps.

Adept Installer lacks icons for many applications, presumably because it only looks in /usr/share/pixmaps for icons whereas many applications store their icons in /usr/share/app-install/icons

Gnine: Adept itself not having icons should be addressed before the final release. However, this bug is about Adept Installer not displaying icons for the applications you can install with it.

It turns out that Adept 3.0 includes /usr/share/app-install/icons, and not /usr/share/pixmaps at all. Yet still many icons are missing.

Actually, Adept does look in /usr/share/app-install icons, but still all of them don't have icons...

Adept still only showing one of five icons in today's intrepid daily cd. The majority of the icons are missing.

True, but I am somewhat at a loss where to find those. Might be that the issue is really with app-install-data just being incomplete? I have to admit that it would help to implement the KDE/GNOME/All differentiation we had in Adept Installer previously (and I will look into that for 3.1).

Unfortunately, Adept has been unmaintained by its original authors for several years, and nobody has stepped up to continue its development. (Though the Muon Suite is arguably its spiritual successor) As such, Adept has been removed from releases of Kubuntu from 12.10 onwards, and no additional improvements will be made to the software.

We thank you for reporting this bug all the same, and apologize for taking so long to respond to it.

Adept has been in the unmaintained state for a few years. Use muon[1] as replacement .
