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.

Once a .desktop file has been created, please open a bug in Malone, and add the .desktop file as an attachment. Please update the table below of Universe packages containing menu entries but no .desktop files (last generated 11th February 2006) with the bug number.

(Note that some user created .desktop files have been added, please contibute translations/additions) see [:/Examples]. If you add anything here, please also update the table and Malone.

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. If you are sure no .desktop file is necessary, please update the Determination field to indicate this to save others effort.

# Please be sure to review anything reported in the output.  If there
