VirtualBox broken icon [Mageia 6]

[helgi1507]

Hello, Community!

I've found, that VirtualBox.rpm from official repos strangely contains two .desktop files - virtualbox.desktop (vanilla) and mageia-virtualbox.desktop
So, when I simply run an application, system tray has always broken icon. https://i.imgur.com/Wgx8vdb.png

Deleting mageia-virtualbox.desktop and use virtualbox.desktop instead, seems to solve an issue till update of the package.

Could you confirm this behaviour? I use VirtualBox 5.1.26 with up-to-date system.

I'd rather say that /usr/share/virtualbox/virtualbox.desktop is the issue, and that is also installed in a nonstandard path for desktop entries.
What desktop environment do you use?

Ok, just one more question.

Did you only delete mageia-virtualbox.desktop, and left virtualbox.desktop in place, or did you move virtualbox.desktop to /usr/share/applications ?

Yeah, you're right.
I deleted mageia-virtualbox.desktop and then copy virtualbox.desktop to /home/user/.local/share/applications
