Does not create menu item / launcher when installed

Binary package hint: mupen64plus

Ubuntu 10.04, installing with Ubuntu Software Center. Installs fine, but no menu item / launcher is created and needs to be added manually.

Are you sure that there is no menu item? It just uses the debian menu system
to install one under the section Applications/Emulators. Additional it uses
freedesktop .desktop system to install a desktop file under
/usr/share/applications/mupen64plus.desktop

Both appear under debian (kde). I am currently downloading ubuntu 10.4 to test
it. Can you please add information what desktop environment you are using and
if you are member of the games group (/etc/groups). And please never forget to
add exact information what version of mupen64plus version you are using and
from which repository you got it. There are many PPAs with more or less broken
mupen64plus packages and there is no "official" mupen64plus ubuntu package
(only a package synced from debian in ubuntu universe).

Tested it under Ubuntu 10.4 with Gnome and mupen64plus_1.5+dfsg1-7build1. It is there under Applications -> Games -> Mupen64Plus.

By the way, the ubuntu stable maintainers still haven't synced the bugfix for mupen64plus' rice on some cards with long glstrings. #575968
