The missing symbols

I tried to:
See if i have everything enabled in Extensions Manager (yes)
install all sorts of font packages (Libre Office Math shows everything)
reboot
search for missing files
walk backwards on full moon
reboot again
search if anyone else had same problems (could not find any)
etc.

what could cause the problem and how to fix it?

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Downloaded the SMathStudioDesktop.0_99_7030.Mono.tar.gz
I have installed mono-complete using these instructions: https://www.mono-project...oad/stable/#download-lin


Only errors I got were:
Installing mono (in the installation phase "sudo apt update" ) gave this error:
Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-i386/Packages' as repository 'https://download.mono-project.com/repo/ubuntu stable-focal InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'i386'

"Could not set X locale modifiers" when launching SMath on terminal
fixed it with
rm -Rf ~/.config/.mono (https://github.com/mono/mono/issues/18238)
Both, before and after, the symbols were missing.




The "plugins" folder

If anyone finds a fix for this, could you please post it here? I have the same issue, it would be nice to see the missing button images. Thanks!

I an using linux mint 19.3 and are facing the very same isuue
i found out that older versions do show the symbols, 0_98_6179 shows almost all the symbols with only a few missing in the matrices toolbar, the next stable release (0_98_6484) didnt show the symbols

Are you saying you can't download/install SS 6179 ?

I have found a solution for those who can't use SMath on Linux distros or it's not working for some reason.

Steps:

(Just use Docker)

I follow this tutorial: https://github.com/bkjaya2020/smathstudio-docker

As a Fedora 32 user, I just did:

1. sudo dnf install docker
2. systemctl start docker
3. sudo docker create -t -p 8008:8080 --name smath --privileged=true bkjaya1952/smathstudio-docker (it would take some minutes)
4. sudo docker start smath
5. in the browser, go to http://localhost:8008/

That's it =)
SMath will show there fully functional!

Hi Everybody,
I solved problem with wine...
...
1. sudo apt-get install mono-complete
2. sudo apt-get install winetricks
3. winetricks dotnet45
4. copy smath installation from windows (whole directory) to linux (kubuntu)
5. wine /home/user_1/smath_99_7030_wine/SMathStudio_Desktop.exe
...
result - all symbols in side panel.
...

Thanks kamienna, I had SMath mono working in Linux Mint 19.3, but when upgraded my machine to Linux Mint 20, I was getting missing symbols in side panel.
I followed your instructions for using winetricks and just ignored all the error messages while the Windows .net dotnet45 was being installed.
Copied SMath from my Windows 10 machine and everything is now working again in LM20. All the symbols are displaying properly.

I have investigated the sidebar issue with previous builds.
Below I listed what happened to sidebar step by step on Linux Mono builds.
Sorry for the big picture but I had to prtscr that so everything can be seen in one screen.

1- It was build 5905 when everything was fine.
2- When new functions added to matrices sidebar on build 5918, they didn't show up. But they are clickable.
3- Last working version beside new matrices functions was build 6437.
4- Starting from build 6470, a lot of sidebar buttons are missing. But sidebar button fonts are big on these builds.
5- Last big font but missing buttoned sidebar build was 6671.
6- On and after build 6839, buttons had slim fonts. This build had same amount of non-missing items as previous build and all alphabet items are shown.
7- The last full greek alphabet version was build 6995.
8- After build 7005, two alphabet buttons are missing too. These two additional they are not presented on previous builds.
You can not use them on SMath canvas either. They give only rectangle on regions not characters.

Regards

Peraphs if it's not something codec-related might be the size of the container wrt the size of the image (just an idea).

About these two images in particular seems they have different BG/transparent colors (white the old, black the new) and different color maps.

Because it's Windows ! There may be something internal to Windows coded to check for visibility.

Davide beat me to my first inclination, the transparency feature available in PNG format. (Example). However, I run the portable version on Windows and copied the files to Linux, so it's the same folders/folder structure

Question, on Linux, am I suppose to double click on "SMathStudio_Desktop.exe" or "smathstudio_desktop_mono" {no extension}. My version of "smathstudio_desktop_mono" is dated 05/30/2013. The following is what's in that file
