Some Universe packages don't have corresponding .desktop files in /usr/share/applications/ (see http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/). Therefore they don't appear in the GNOME menu or fail to claim/handle a MIME-type or are missing icons, etc.

There are three basic things that need to be done to bring such packages into line with the new .desktop method.

  • Obviously, a package needs to have a .desktop file. If you are creating one from scratch, take a look at any of Ubuntu's base GNOME applications such as mozilla-firefox or rhythmbox to see how they manage their .desktop files.
  • In debian/control, if cdbs is not used, Build-Depend on debhelper (>= 4.2.21).

  • In debian/rules, if cdbs's gnome.mk is not used, make sure the binary* target installs the .desktop file into /usr/share/applications/ and its corresponding icon file (xpm/png/etc.) into /usr/share/pixmaps/ . Additionally if cdbs's gnome.mk is not used, you need to call dh_desktop.
  • For the .desktop file, list the icon by the relative path program.xpm rather than an absolute one to allow for user changes to the icon.

Here is a list of packages in Universe that have a Debian menu file (in /usr/lib/menu/) but no .desktop file

(Note that some user created .desktop files have been added, please contibute translations/additions) see UniversePackageWithoutDesktopFileExampleFiles

Please do not make .desktop files for command line only programs on this list. Remember, we want .desktop files for programs that we want in the menu.

is it helpful for me to figure you how to make .desktop file and email a few to the maintainers? or can someone write a script to do this? A script should not be to hard if the information is the same and the debian menu items are machine readable.

If you can, drop into #ubuntu-motu (on irc.freenode.net) and tell us about the packages you'd like to enrich with .desktop files - we don't have no plans on a script doint the work yet - if you can help in any way, we'd really appreciate that.

Thanks for asking, have a nice day,

As a brand-new Ubuntu user of three days standing, I decided to download some more games for the kids. I read the instructions for the uni/multi-verses, found some games like chess and falcon's eye and egoboo that I thought the kids would like, used the synaptic package manager to install them, all seemed to go well...

And then nothing. No sign of where they went, no error message. Eventually I found this page and now I sort of understand what happened.

I think it would be nice if there were some way to have the package manager warn you there is no .desktop file if that is a showstopper. Ideally before the download, but failing that then during the install. Otherwise you will frustrate new users. And their children.

Daniel, why not have a script do the work? The menu files have a clear structure that would map to .desktop files. Just extract the name, the executable, and category. Create a mapping for the the Debian categories (as defined in Debian Policy) to the fd.o categories and spit out the desktop file. I'm interested into working on such a script (seems simple enough) if it would utilized.

Here's a script to do the work for those menu files with icons:

#
# generate-desktop.bash
#
# This script will search for debian menu entries containing icons,
# and either print the name of an oddly located .desktop file, or
# modify the menu-xdg generated file to match the freedesktop
# categories for inclusion the relevant package.
#
# Please be sure to review anything reported in the output.  If there
# is nothing odd, there should be no output.
#
# Before running this, the menu and menu-xdg packages must be installed
# It is probably also a good idea to update the locate database
#
# Please note that this only works for installed packages

  • If you need to manually adjust any categories not caught by the sed lines, please add the appropriate sed line here so that others can use it.

Perhaps also interesting is a script to look for .desktop files not stored in /usr/share/applications. These may benefit from a review of the package to confirm to meets current guidelines:

#
# find-desktop.bash
#
# This script will find the .desktop files not properly stored in
# /usr/share/applications, and print the location along with the
# name of the offending package.
#
# Note that this does not catch any packages with autogenerated
# or otherwise irregurally included .desktop files.  For that,
# please use generate-desktop.bash.
#
# This script will also fail for any path containing "SPACE"

APPDIR=/usr/share/applications/
DOCDIR=/usr/share/doc/


for i in `locate .desktop | grep /usr | grep -v $DOCDIR | grep -v $APPDIR |           grep .desktop$ | sed '/ /s/ /SPACE/g'`
do
   FILEPATH=`echo $i | sed '/SPACE/s/SPACE/ /g'`
   dpkg -S $FILEPATH
done 2>&1 | sed '/^dpkg/s/^dpkg:/Please investigate /' |
            sed '/found.$/s/ not found.//'
