Ubuntu 16.04 Gnome battery indicator is showing just a box












0














My battery indicator in the menu bar is showing just a box for an icon in place of the battery icon - this is the case in the drop down menu too.



I have tried doing this:



sudo apt-get remove --purge indicator-power
sudo apt-get install indicator-power


This is the image of my battery indicator & the drop down menu



What else can I try?

  • Sounds like a possible theme and/or package corruption. Please check if other icon themes exhibit the same issue, perform a package sanity check and report back. Thanks.

    I had this problem with the battery and bluetooth icons.



    Changing Gnome Tweak Tool -> Fonts -> Scaling factor solved it for me. The whole range between 1.35 to 1.40 was broken for wifi and battery with the Paper icon theme, so I changed it to 1.41. Maybe the panel has some scaling bug or the icon set is suboptimal for this range.
