Recommend additional packages to be co-installed with the Unity 8 Desktop Session.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Confirmed these additional packages slightly improve the experience on yakkety desktop.

Three problems though:
  1. friends-app does not exist
  2. notes-app never launches (missing something?)
  3. mediaplayer-app installs but never appears in Unity8. Is that normal?

review: Needs Fixing

[Christopher Townsend (townsend)]

I agree that the friends-app should be removed since it does not exist and this MP is probably a good place to do that.

notes-app not launching should probably be addressed with whoever maintains notes-app.

mediaplayer-app not showing up should be addressed with whoever maintains mediaplayer-app.

removed suggested apps, since they are not supported in Ubuntu

[Stephen M. Webb (bregma)]

Removed friends-app (not in archives) and notes-app (does not appear to be supported in Ubuntu after 15.04).

The mediaplayer-app shows up for me and runs in Unity 8.

[Michał Sawicz (saviq)]

Just realized bug #1606518, should the OSK be pulled in by unity8-desktop-session, too?

review: Needs Information

[Stephen M. Webb (bregma)]

The OSK is already pulled in as a dependency of the unity8 package. I don;t see any reason to change that at this point. The MP at https://code.launchpad.net/~bregma/unity8-desktop-session/lp-1590439/+merge/299755 should fix the problem of $QT_IM_MODULE not being set on desktop.

removed media-hub until it's useful on desktop

[Christopher Townsend (townsend)]

Ok, +1
