[00:15] <KatieVM> Interesting.
[00:16] <macksting> er, I need to pick one or the other of these...
[00:17] <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!
[00:20] <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.
[00:21] <tomreyn> *that* is possible indeed
[00:22] <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?
[00:23] <tomreyn> whenever you touch things which are actually meant to be managed by a package manager - relevantly high.
[00:23] <macksting> -_-
[00:24] <tomreyn> dpkg -S /path/to/somefile    tells you whether it's part of a debian package
[00:26] <macksting> I feel like I should be able to remember with more clarity how I installed these.
[00:28] <macksting> Anyway yeah it seems to be part of the package gearhead2-sdl, which is no surprise to me.
[00:31] <macksting> Well, if it's an actual error on the package level, I need to bring it to the dev's attention.
[00:34] <macksting> Sounds like there's no *immediate* fix without breaking something small within the package?
[00:49] <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?
[02:16] <macksting> Different packages, same dev.
[02:16] <macksting> And I did actually check both.
[04:34] <macksting> oh jeez, apparently he's not the one who uploaded those packages.
