[Bug 1593989] Re: snap installed .desktops collide with .deb installed .desktops in unity7
If a solution is crafted it may be worth checking against the scenario where snap/snapd/unity7 creates a .desktop in ~/.local/share/applications. Atm it seems the first run of a snap installed app checks application folders in the default path for .desktops where the Exec= line contains the binary name. If found it uses/displays that .desktop in the launcher. If not found *I think* it displays the snap's .desktop & if then locked to the launcher creates the aforementioned .desktop. This .desktop is truncated & the Exec= line maybe problematic if that app is later installed from a .deb. Ex. of the one created for vlc, the Exec= line is standard first bin in $PATH & the Path= line seemingly ineffective [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Version=1.0 Type=Application Name=VLC media player Icon=vlc Path=/snap/vlc/5 Exec=vlc StartupNotify=false StartupWMClass=vlc OnlyShowIn=Unity; X-UnityGenerated=true -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1593989 Title: snap installed .desktops collide with .deb installed .desktops in unity7 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-snappy/+bug/1593989/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I guess it's not as simple as different .desktop names. The .desktop you install with the snap will run the .deb version if it's installed. Is there some reason you don't use a more explicit Exec= line? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1593989 Title: snap installed .desktops collide with .deb installed .desktops in unity7 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-snappy/+bug/1593989/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
