| KatieVM | Interesting. | 00:15 |
|---|---|---|
| macksting | er, I need to pick one or the other of these... | 00:16 |
| macksting | And I don't know what to tell ya, they're in /usr/share/applications, and they have identical names there. Which seems impossible! | 00:17 |
| tomreyn | macksting: they may have very similarily looking file names, but they won't be identifcal. maybe if you run ls -lb /usr/share/applications/whateveritstartswith* it will solve the miracle. | 00:20 |
| macksting | Well! They have different filenames, just the same display name. Or whatever you wanna call it. | 00:20 |
| tomreyn | *that* is possible indeed | 00:21 |
| tomreyn | so have a look at both, and edit the display name for the one that points to the target that you want to be displayed differently. | 00:22 |
| macksting | Unfortunately, this being /usr/ yadda yadda, I don't have permissions to faff about with it. How likely is it that I could accidentally break something I don't want broken by attempting to change it? | 00:22 |
| tomreyn | whenever you touch things which are actually meant to be managed by a package manager - relevantly high. | 00:23 |
| macksting | -_- | 00:23 |
| tomreyn | dpkg -S /path/to/somefile tells you whether it's part of a debian package | 00:24 |
| macksting | I feel like I should be able to remember with more clarity how I installed these. | 00:26 |
| macksting | Anyway yeah it seems to be part of the package gearhead2-sdl, which is no surprise to me. | 00:28 |
| macksting | Well, if it's an actual error on the package level, I need to bring it to the dev's attention. | 00:31 |
| macksting | Sounds like there's no *immediate* fix without breaking something small within the package? | 00:34 |
| tomreyn | probably. you could patch the package and install your patched version, but that's not sooo easy | 00:49 |
| tomreyn | it seems like you only checked on one of the two files, though, are both part of this package? | 00:49 |
| macksting | Different packages, same dev. | 02:16 |
| macksting | And I did actually check both. | 02:16 |
| macksting | oh jeez, apparently he's not the one who uploaded those packages. | 04:34 |
