Public bug reported: xterm can't be found by Dash, even though it's installed. Trying to pin a running xterm to the Launcher does not work reliably.
Doing a "Create Launcher..." on the desktop allows xterm to be run then pinned, until the .desktop file created on the desktop is deleted. Manually creating a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications resolved these issues. xterm should be packaged with a default .desktop file in that location. Also see bug #129041, originally filed to remove the .desktop file, but with subsequent conversation requesting the file's return. Having this new bug to track the request to bring it back will allow people to mark "affects me" without giving the wrong impression. ** Affects: xterm (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/820502 Title: Unity doesn't see xterm To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xterm/+bug/820502/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
