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. ** Affects: gnome-menus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Installing package that contains a .desktop file does not appear in the Application Menu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/533264 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-menus in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
