[Bug 1871797] Re: syntax error in desktop file
In my experience, small issues like this will seldom be fixed in the old release (20.04). It is a small enough fix, but there is enough "paperwork" involved (SRU process) that nobody will take their time for this. I would recommend installing the 6.02 version from my PPA: https://launchpad.net/~tormodvolden/+archive/ubuntu/ppa (This is the original Debian version, so without the Ubuntu branding.) If you make a local modification of the file, it will be overwritten next time the package is upgraded or reinstalled. The package in 20.04 has not been updated since the release though. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1871797 Title: syntax error in desktop file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xscreensaver/+bug/1871797/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

So, when the fix applied to the release? This is more than 4 months since the fix available. I remember, maybe a month ago, I manually edit "/usr/share/applications/screensavers/glitchpeg.desktop" to remove the newline, but for some reason, the file is overwritten to the old one that broken, probably during "apt upgrade". $ ls --full-time /usr/share/applications/screensavers/glitchpeg.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 389 2019-01-28 04:40:05.0 +0700 /usr/share/applications/screensavers/glitchpeg.desktop -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1871797 Title: syntax error in desktop file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xscreensaver/+bug/1871797/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The attachment "remove spurious newline" seems to be a patch. If it isn't, please remove the "patch" flag from the attachment, remove the "patch" tag, and if you are a member of the ~ubuntu-reviewers, unsubscribe the team.

not a proper source patch, but shows the line that needs fixing to stop complaints under apt. ** Also affects: xscreensaver (Debian) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Patch added: "remove spurious newline" https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/xscreensaver/+bug/1871797/+attachment/5359622/+files/glitchpeg.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1871797 Title: syntax error in desktop file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xscreensaver/+bug/1871797/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
