[Bug 533264] Re: Installing package that contains a .desktop file does not appear in the Application Menu

2010-03-21 Thread Daniel Bell
Hi Martin,

I've downloading and installed the Beta release, and after installing
the .deb file the menu item is created and located where I expected it
to be.

I do run updates on my machine every week (at least) so I do have
current updates, I guess that it is something unique to my machine - a
symptom of the many updates perhaps?

[Bug 537565] [NEW] On bootup: login screen noise is heard, but only a cursor appears and a flashing underscore

2010-03-11 Thread Daniel Bell
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gdm

Using updated version: 2.29.92-0ubuntu1

I have just installed Alpha 3 on my netbook, and updated all packages
via update manager.

When I start my netbook up, I hear the sound that appears usually when
the Login Screen appears, however all I see is my mouse cursor and a
flashing underscore (_) at the top left which resembles something where
text is expected to be input into.

When I try keys, such as Alt, or Ctrl or even stuff such as a, b, 1, 2
etc then stuff is displayed at that top left hand side.

However, when I press the Enter key, I hear the Login Screen sound
again, but this time the Login Screen appears so I can login to the
desktop.

Hi, yes when I install my package it updates the cache, and after
looking in the entry I see my game listed there with an entry that is
the same to the .desktop file that I installed.

After restarting my session, nothing new happens. My icon is still
missing from the menu - despite being in /usr/share/applications and the
cache.

Cache file is named: desktop.en_GB.utf8.cache and as far as I know my
local is English (United Kingdom).

Nope, after deleting desktop.en_GB.utf8.cache the menu item is still not
listed. I even restarted my computer after that and the menu item was
still not listed.

Sure, by example, do you mean the package I was trying to install?

Here is the package that I was installing.

Installing this package on Karmic results in a menu item being listed
under the Games tab in Applications.

Installing this package in Lucid (Alpha 3) results in a menu item being
listed under the Games tab in Applications.

Installing this package in the current version of Lucid, results in no
menu item being listed under the Games tab in Applications.

[Bug 533264] [NEW] Installing package that contains a .desktop file does not appear in the Application Menu

2010-03-06 Thread Daniel Bell
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-menus

Ubuntu Version: Lucid (with latest updates (as far as I know)).
gnome-menus version: 2.29.91-0ubuntu2.

I have generated a debian package which contains a .desktop file, and
when I install the package the .desktop file is stored in
/usr/share/applications

I am expecting a menu entry to appear in the Games category (as this is
specified in the .desktop file) so that users can easily access the game
and not have to run it from the command line. However, after
installation of the package has completed there is no menu entry, (even
though there is a .desktop file in the /usr/share/applications folder).

I have tested my package in Karmic where the entry appears in the menu under 
the Games category.
I have also tested my package under Lucid (alpha-3  that I downloaded from 
here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/lucid/alpha-3/ - amd64 version) and 
after installing the same package, my menu entry appeared correctly. So I think 
the change that broke this would be somewhere between alpha-3 and what we have 
now.

If you need any more information, I'm happy to provide it.
