[Touch-packages] [Bug 1768609] Re: can't add KDE apps to GNOME dock
Daniel, the results of some brief tests installing applications such as kate, konsole, konversation and krusader were not consistent with respect to adding to and removing from the dock as a favourite. Some applications gave me both the add and remove options, one application gave just a remove option while another gave me neither option. The work around of right clicking on a search result worked for all the applications that I tested while using Ubuntu 20.04.1. ** Tags added: focal -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1768609 Title: can't add KDE apps to GNOME dock Status in GNOME Shell: Unknown Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Hi, I clean installed Ubuntu 18.04 yesterday and noticed I couldn't add KDE apps to the GNOME dock.
