Public bug reported: Since upgrading to Oneiric, Libre Office often fails to create an icon in the Unity launcher. The problem occurs with all Libre Office apps be it Write, Calc or Draw etc.
I don't have any Libre Office icons pinned to my Unity launcher. When I start Libre Office (through Unity search or opening a file in Nautilus) I expect Libre Office icons to appear on the launcher to indicate that it's running and allow task switching. The bug doesn't happen all of the time though; Occasionally I'm favored enough by the Unity gods that icons appear. I haven't spotted a pattern that triggers it but I'll post more information here when I find it. I don't know if this is relevant but I checked the unity>launcher entry in dconf-editor to see if there was anything obviously wrong. Here are the entries: favorite-migration: 3.2.10 favorites: ['nautilus-home.desktop', 'firefox.desktop', 'transmission-gtk.desktop', 'banshee.desktop', 'gnome-terminal.desktop', 'gimp.desktop'] shows-on-edge: checked. I'm going to try reseting all of these to default values to see if the problem goes away. ** Affects: unity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/878156 Title: 11.10 - Libre Office icons don't appear in Launcher - task switching impossible To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/878156/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
