Adding OS Logos

olivierlambert

And we also use http://fizzed.com/oss/font-mfizz

So as you can see, the problem is not to add existing logo in our code, but find them in a correct format in the first place

gskger

https://simpleicons.org/ offers more than 1900 SVG icons of typical brands in a somewhat consistent style and they claim that the icons are free.

I found the ones that I was looking for. I can make an attempt at the code but not sure how to pull the files in.

I found archlinux in all simpleicons.org and font-mfizz.
/etc/os-release
NAME="Arch Linux"
PRETTY_NAME="Arch Linux"
ID=arch
BUILD_ID=rolling

I found kali (kali linux) in simpleicons.org
PRETTY_NAME="Kali GNU/Linux Rolling"
NAME="Kali GNU/Linux"
ID=kali
VERSION="2021.1"
VERSION_ID="2021.1"
VERSION_CODENAME="kali-rolling"
ID_LIKE=debian

I found manjaro in simpleicons.org
/etc/os-release
NAME="Manjaro Linux"
ID=manjaro
ID_LIKE=arch
PRETTY_NAME="Manjaro Linux"

I found Pop!_OS in simpleicons.org
/etc/os-release
NAME="Pop!_OS"
VERSION="18.10"
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
PRETTY_NAME="Pop!_OS 18.10"
VERSION_ID="18.10"

So you can add easily the Arch Linux icon, because we use font-mfizz already.

For the rest, I don't know how to do it properly, but let's focus on getting Arch first!

Sounds good. I followed the font-mfizz github instructions and created a pull request with Kali, Manjaro, and Pop_OS! icon svg files.

Not sure when it will be reviewed and merged but they should be there at some point to help make things easier.

EDIT: ugh there are basic merge request for the official git from 2018.

Maybe there's a more recent fork? Unmaintained repos are a plague sometimes

Per your comment:

Then, you have to get your icon called here: https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/blob/8921d7861026a11a2e7007d8451489eee508bdf7/packages/xo-web/src/icons.scss#L1025-L1045

I see Linux Mint in there:

}
&-linux-mint {
@extend .fa;
@extend .icon-linux-mint;

But my MInts have no logo...

Did I do something wrong or is it maybe just in the process of being added? Or does it looks like they changed it so there is no dash in the middle anymore? 'linux-mint' vs 'linuxmint'

If it helps at all, Mint is in simpleicons.org too
NAME="Linux Mint"
VERSION="20.1 (Ulyssa)"
ID=linuxmint
ID_LIKE=ubuntu
PRETTY_NAME="Linux Mint 20.1"
VERSION_ID="20.1"

Thanks.

I added a dash to the /usr/lib/os-release file. (ID=linux-mint) I'm probably not supposed to modify it but it seems to have worked... for now.

olivierlambert This topic was last time discussed in June of 2021.

I am wondering if some sort of solution has been built to add icons to VMs which don't have icons next to them?
I have one VM with FreePBX and while in its core this is a modified CentOS yet the OS reports itself as Sangoma Linux. Another VM is virtualized TrueNAS Scale. Both VMs are bare iconless

Thank you

olivierlambert

The solution will be a revamp on icons to easily integrate any kind of OS icon in XO 6

Hi

Sorry for necroposting this one.
But it felt relevant, to ask if maybe we could put some Rocky in there are well?

On my lab VMs I'm running Rocy8.9 at the moment. But If we could just get "rocky" in general with a generic Tux as the symbol, then that would be more than good enough.

xe vm-param-list uuid=LARGESTRING | grep distro
                            os-version (MRO): name: Rocky Linux release 8.9 (Green Obsidian); uname: 4.18.0-513.11.1.el8_9.0.1.x86_64; distro: rocky; major: 8; minor: 9

Actually I would personally prefer the Rocky Linux OS logo to please be the actual one for the distro! Having the general generic Tux as the symbol, is more when the distro is unknown but is recognised as Linux.

@john-c
well, me too. But since it gets neither at the moment. And being realistic in that they can't be excpected to keep up with every distro in existance. I'll take what I reasonably can get

Update: Let me clarify. If there could be Distro specific logos, then that would be awesome. However, if we could get a generic Tux for Linux in general. Then that would cover a large part of the variants out there.
