it's not that the version in ubuntu 18.04, that's just how stable distribution works: once a package version is there, it won't be touched (barred some exceptions).
1.8.8 is available in the development version of ubuntu indeed. If somebody figures the real reason telegram-desktop is not showing up on the menus in 18.04, then it can (and should) be fixed by a targeted update. Either way, the .desktop file is unchanged in the last years, and it's still named the same way also in 1.8.8-1. @mantonijevic: which PPA are you talking about? Does the package from there really show the icon? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1715185 Title: No menu entry to start Telegram To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/telegram-desktop/+bug/1715185/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
