Thread: 13.04 Raring...Unity Dash problem with "software sources" icon

-

hello all,
been running raring little on 1 day. 64-bit bit installation fresh "/" , retained "/home" split between ssd , hdd. things seem running pretty well; i'm happy method of upgrading distributions.
however, in unity dash (search) when type in "software sources" broken icon (sort of fuzzy ubuntu cd disk+logo) software settings. if left-click app runs fine. if right-click "properties" of app along right icon.

since retained profile old build of ubuntu 12.10 need delete sort of hidden dash settings file?

minor irritation, updated computer in same fashion , "problem" did not duplicate there. btw, on first time through upgrade did try installing nvidia drivers resultant loss of unity , desktop. after getting first noticed above problem. later reverted open source driver fuzzy ubuntu cd+logo still there. far haven't noticed other busted icons in software sources.

edit: have second user account on machine. logging in user there's no problem icon in dash.

solved:
ok, solved using thread guide: http://askubuntu.com/questions/13145...ty-dash-search

in case renamed ~/.local/share/applications/software-properties-gtk.desktop file (effectively deleting it). logged out , in checked unity-dash , icon there.

now, how rename thread solved?

thanks!!
