Since the current AutoKey Version shipped with Ubuntu Linux 10.04 Lucid Lynx is an outdated one, i found an easy way to get a newer one through the PPA of Chris Dekter from the AutoKey Project.

If you are not so familiar with installing through PPA i made a set of install scripts. You can also easy switch the theme icons i mentioned earlier.

Make sure you remove any installed autokey packages before you install the PPA Version!

Do not forget to restart AutoKey after you made any changes.

The Problem

In order to show the error i made some screenshots from an RSS view in Firefox.

As you can see the MIME Icon is missing.

The image source link from the source code.

moz-icon://goat?size=16&contentType=audio/mpeg

The Fix

The MIME Icon is shown after the fix. As you can see it is an audio icon.

The problem is that Firefox can’t find the MIME type icons. This Shell-Script copies the MIME icons from the Humanity Icon Theme into the .icons folder in your home directory so Firefox can find them.

#!/bin/bash

ISOURCE=/usr/share/icons/
ITHEME=Humanity

for size in 16 22 24 32 48;
do
  mkdir -p $HOME/.icons/$ITHEME/mimes/$size;
  for file in $ISOURCE/$ITHEME/mimes/$size/*.svg;
  do
    ln -s $file $HOME/.icons/$ITHEME/mimes/$size/`basename $file .svg`.png;
  done;
done;
