description |
Applications menu doesn't get populated with recently installed app using apt.
For example, after installing Firefox using apt, its shortcut does not appear immediately in the applications main menu. It only appeared there after I rebooted (maybe logging off also does the job).
A “refresh menu” action has to be triggered somehow after installations.
ProblemType: Bug
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04
Package: gnome-menus 3.13.3-11ubuntu1
ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-15.16-generic 4.15.15
Uname: Linux 4.15.0-15-generic x86_64
ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu5
Architecture: amd64
CurrentDesktop: Budgie:GNOME
Date: Fri Apr 20 18:39:49 2018
Dependencies:
InstallationDate: Installed on 2018-04-20 (0 days ago)
InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-Budgie 18.04 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Alpha amd64 (20180418)
SourcePackage: gnome-menus
UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) |
[Impact]
Applications menu for GNOME3 based desktop environments doesn't get populated with recently installed app using apt or GUI apps like gnome-software, budgie-welcome (Ubuntu Budgie)
Users need to physically logout and login again before they see the application appear in their menu.
This is an intermittent issue - some installs work correctly, some installs dont display in the menu. After logging out and logging in, those installs that didnt display, now appear in the menu.
This affects all desktop environments that use gnome-menus to recognise new/changed/deleted applications. Primarily this would be Unity and Budgie Desktop. Not sure about GNOME Shell or other desktop environments
[Test Case]
Install an application using apt (command line), GNOME Software or through budgie-welcome (Ubuntu Budgie only) - The application icon should appear in the menu of the desktop environment being used.
Remove an application through apt, GNOME Software and/or budgie-welcome (ubuntu budgie) - The application icon should disappear from the menu of the desktop environment being used
Repeat the above two test cases several times (e.g. 10x) with different applications
[Regression Potential]
Arguably the risk is that the patch introduces potential instability into the installation sequence that could cause crashes. That's the worst case scenario.
The mitigation here is that the patch is the exact same patch used in 17.04 and 17.10. It was also used in 16.04 and 16.10 - in these two cases the patch did not contain a one line fix introduced in 17.04 that fixed a crashing race issue in budgie-desktop.
[Other Info]
Consultation with the uploader to 18.04 (Jeremy) is a must here to discuss possibly reasons why when merging with Debian, the ubuntu specific patch was not readded.
