Filetype icon not being displayed when downloading something in Chrome

  • 772

Whenever I download something in Chrome, the little icon in the center of the download that shows the file type icon, around which there's the download progress bar, isn't displayed. If that sounds confusing, take a look at this screenshot:

    I've just had a look at this on my computer. Problem seems to happen with any format I downloaded (tar.gz, .doc, .odt, .pdf). I checked the icon source in nautilus and it appears to be the wrong location (It errors and says "not found - Check spelling etc".).

    As such, it is most probably a bug and should be reported. (To Google as Canonical do not support Chrome & Chromium)

  3. This problem can be fixed manually on Ubuntu 11.10+ (maybe works on older distibution), simply by installing gnome-icon-theme-full.

    1) Open terminal and paste below code:

    sudo apt-get install gnome-icon-theme-full

    2) Check icons on your download page in Google Chrome

    chrome://downloads
