Package: wifi-radar Version: 1.9.6-2 Severity: normal Tags: patch *** Please type your report below this line *** The .desktop file to place Wifi-Radar in freedesktop menus has two problems: one, it is invalid (it fails desktop-file-validate). Two, it does not display an item in the menu of a non-root user, even though it uses gksudo to become root, due to the use of "TryExec=wifi-radar" when wifi-radar is in /usr/share/sbin.
The attached patch corrects both of these problems, although it may be a suboptimal solution. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-2-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages wifi-radar depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.4 Debian configuration management sy ii dhcp3-client 3.0.4-8 DHCP Client ii menu 2.1.30 generates programs menu for all me ii python 2.4.3-11 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-gtk2 2.8.6-5 Python bindings for the GTK + widge ii wireless-tools 28-1 Tools for manipulating Linux Wirel Versions of packages wifi-radar recommends: ii wpasupplicant 0.5.5-1 Client support for WPA and WPA2 (I -- debconf information excluded
