Get gufw to Show up in the Menu

#1 Post by Stevo »

This bug was reported to Debian over two years ago.

Here's the problem with gufw: its desktop file ( /usr/share/applications/gufw.desktop) includes this line near the bottom:

Code: Select all

OnlyShowIn=Unity;
Which is not going to help much in Debian. :mad:
Removing or commenting out that line allows it to show up under System: Firewall Configuration.

Why on earth Ubuntu had that line in there in the first place escapes me.

If there is any demand, we could put a fixed version in our community repo.

Since it is the firewall that the Manual now suggests, I think it would be good to fix it sometime when you have a chance.
Production: 5.10, MX-23 Xfce, AMD FX-4130 Quad-Core, GeForce GT 630/PCIe/SSE2, 16 GB, SSD 120 GB, Data 1TB
Personal: Lenovo X1 Carbon with MX-23 Fluxbox and Windows 10
Other: Raspberry Pi 5 with MX-23 Xfce Raspberry Pi Respin

OK, fixed M12 package done, I think it will package in M11, too. I'll ask Tim to put it in the main CR.
