Bug Description

Binary package hint: swami

Using kubuntu with kde 3.5.9 here, but I guess this should apply to freedesktop compliant desktops?

I installed, via adept_manager, qsynth and swami in the same batch. After installation, QSynth properly appears under 'Multimedia', whereas Swami can't be found. Since Swami is a GUI app, I would expect it to show there.

I've also checked the list of installed files in adept, and I can't see nothing that looks like a menu shortcut (albeit I'm no expert and I don't know how it would like).

In summary, this is (if valid) a bug in the packaging and not in the application proper.

I can confirm this bug in swami version 0.9.4-1build1 in Intrepid. Swami currently does not install a .desktop file. This can be seen by looking at the list of files it installs:

$ dpkg -L swami
/.
/usr
/usr/bin
/usr/bin/swami
/usr/sbin
/usr/lib
/usr/lib/swami
/usr/lib/swami/wavetbl_fluidsynth.so

I will prepare a patch to fix this bug.

I was unable to locate an icon in the application or on the swami website. As a result, this .desktop file does not have an icon associated with it. If someone locates an icon, I would be glad to update the .desktop file that this patch adds.

swami (0.9.4-1ubuntu1) intrepid; urgency=low

  * Add debian/swami.desktop (LP: #258586)

Looking here:

http://swami.resonance.org/trac/browser/trunk/swami

I see a swami-2.png that looks promising. There's also a .svg but this actually seems to be something non-iconic. Incidentally, there's also a swami-2.desktop

Thanks for the quick response.

I used swami-2.png to create the icon. I also modified the .desktop file to be more like swami-2.desktop.
