[Bug 857243] Re: (oneiric) mplayer does not install .desktop file and does not have an icon
Bug still present in Ubuntu 13.04 I like mplayer without gui frontends: I only use his keyboard shortcuts, and the minimal window with just the titlebar is perfect (actually, a border-only window with the Unity top title bar would be even better) But without a .desktop file, I can't open a video file with it without passing through the terminal. I can't, for example, do open with -> mplayer. And there's no icon on dash / switcher / launcher. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/857243 Title: (oneiric) mplayer does not install .desktop file and does not have an icon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mplayer/+bug/857243/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I reported not about mplayer, but about any generic app, which does not have .desktop file. Bug #886778 is same, but fixed only for Quantal.

Doug: yes, but with terminal=true, you will get a terminal and a mplayer windows which (at least to me) is not a desirable effect.

Sounds like an exceedingly poor idea to have a terminal=false line in the.desktop, have you all actually tried this? Testing your .desktop here has 2 effects - The icon in the launcher has no control over the mplayer instance The cpu use is abnormally high, 99% of one cpu Here I do use a mplayer .desktop that does control the instance & cpu is low as expected - an Ex.
