Public bug reported: using xrdp end tightvnc, I could log in into a flashback session from other computers. However, the menus were not shown.
I found in internet that my .xsession should include setting XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP. By default, this is still set to GNOME. I checked the config files, and this is kind of as expected ,as the desktop configuration files use non-standard entries: https://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apb.html versis /usr/share/app-install/desktop/gnome-session-flashback:gnome-flashback-services.desktop:OnlyShowIn=GNOME-Flashback; Thus, my ~/.xession now reads: export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME-Flashback:GNOME gnome-session --session=gnome-flashback-metacity --disable-acceleration-check Can setting XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP not be done in one of the session setup scripts ? And could it be explained more clearly in the documentation of the package ? another forum suggested the line below, which I did not test. export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP="GNOME-Flashback:Unity" ** Affects: gnome-flashback (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1744147 Title: no menus shown without XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP setting in .xsession To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-flashback/+bug/1744147/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
