[SOLVED] Gufw doesn't create the desktop file

snap.ve · 2020-06-16 16:12:16

Hello there! Like i said in topic, when i install gufw, i can't found gufw.desktop in /usr/share/applications lib. That's not critical, and i can create it self, but - why?

This could be a packaging bug - there is a gufw.desktop.in file in the upstream archive and the PKGBUILD mentions this:

  # required so desktop, icon and translation files get installed
  export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR="/tmp/${pkgname}"

I'm sure the packager will appreciate it if you can use the ABS to patch it yourself and submit the patch with the bug report.

That's not my level, I will be very grateful if there is someone who could do this

The PKGBUILD was recently changed to use --skip-build in the package() step, but this is problematic since the setup.py registers the desktop file for installation during the build stage (in addition to actually building it) and --skip-build in addition to skipping the build, also skips registering the data file.

I've pinged the package maintainer to fix this.

At the request of an official appeal here, on my own I want to add that the bug described in this post has not been fixed yet

I didn't realise this was a bug. I thought it was meant to be called from the terminal.
Anyway I manually wrote a .desktop file and put it in ~./local/share/applications. As I remember, the icon was missing as well so downloaded one from the net.

Please read that link you posted carefully - the Bug Wrangling won't use these forums, instead please update the bug itself and/or join the IRC channel on the 13th - https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/66468

As the maintainer did not respond to my ping, I guess it was overlooked and slipped under the radar. I've taken the liberty of updating it myself, and correspondingly closed these bugs:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/66468
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/67191

To acquire the fix or verify that you have it already:

pacman -Syu 'gufw>=20.04.1-2'
