When I was looking around some Wine repositories on another computer, I noticed that the Zorin OS guys have a Testing PPA for Wine builds with wine-stable 2.0.2 and the missing .desktop files included in the package (thereby fixing this usability bug). You can find the PPA here: https://launchpad.net/~zorinos/+archive/ubuntu/wine-testing
After trying out their wine-stable 2.0.2 package in Ubuntu 17.10, I can safely say that the menu entries they added work just as they did in the stock wine1.6 package in Ubuntu 16.04. It might be worth taking a look into what the Zorin OS guys did and incorporating it into the wine- stable package in the official Ubuntu repositories. P.S. I've also installed the xenial package for wine-stable 2.0.2 from this Zorin OS PPA and it works very well under Ubuntu 16.04. Perhaps it might be worth backporting Wine 2.0.2 to 16.04 users? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1711855 Title: wine-stable is missing the standard Wine menu entries / .desktop files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine/+bug/1711855/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
