[Bug 1362734] Re: settings manager contains entries (icons) that are obsolete and cannot be fixed or removed
There are way more entries in both of those directories than show up in the settings manager, but since I can't tell which is which, I suppose I'll have to trust the software. Having been in software development for over 34 years, I can assure you that is not a comforting thought. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1362734 Title: settings manager contains entries (icons) that are obsolete and cannot be fixed or removed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-settings/+bug/1362734/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1362734] Re: settings manager contains entries (icons) that are obsolete and cannot be fixed or removed
The package manager is usually able to clean up obsolete system files. However, files in the user's home directory will stay untouched. As I already mentioned, the settings manager is a simple GUI application and its job is to display a subset of the installed and manually created launchers (basically visualize the settings category which is hidden from the start menu). I'll close this report by marking it as invalid - not a bug in the specified package.

Sounds good. I found the extra junk and deleted it and that seems to work.

Maybe the alternative menu editor alacarte does the job better. If you want to edit a specific application launcher manually via text editor, then go ahead and try to locate it in /usr/share/applications (global ones) or ~/.local/share/applications (user ones). So, do we agree that there is no bug in xfce4-settings? The settings manager only displays app launchers which belong to the settings category. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1362734 Title: settings manager contains entries (icons) that are obsolete and cannot be fixed or removed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-settings/+bug/1362734/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1362734] Re: settings manager contains entries (icons) that are obsolete and cannot be fixed or removed
Thank you for your report. Unfortunately, this is not a bug in the settings manager. Xubuntu 14.04 installs the easy-to-use menu editor menulibre by default and you can use this editor to create/edit/hide application launchers. Furthermore, you can install the gksu package if some application still requires it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1362734 Title: settings manager contains entries (icons) that are obsolete and cannot be fixed or removed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-settings/+bug/1362734/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

There are some problems with this answer: menulibre does not work properly at all. I have filed a bug about this. menulibre only edits the main menu (mouse icon / applications menu), not any other menu AFAICT. The nvidia settings app can and does run with pkexec, but the point is that the extra is an artifact of my 12.04 system, and I did a fresh 14.04 install over it (not changing my /home partition), so I don't believe it should be there at all. If there is a general purpose menu editor that works, I'd be delighted to use it. Or if I knew where the config files for the apps were I could edit them. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1362734 Title: settings manager contains entries (icons) that are obsolete and cannot be fixed or removed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-settings/+bug/1362734/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
