Dragora has two icons that I can put on a panel. One of them is
supposed to be an updater. It works, afaict.
[...]
The desktop files
/usr/share/applications/org.mageia.dnfdragora-updater.desktop /usr/share/applications/org.mageia.dnfdragora.desktop
both define the same Icon
Icon=dnfdragora
Sounds like you have 2 copies of /usr/share/applications/org.mageia.dnfdragora-updater.desktop
on your panel.
The key to getting good answers is to ask good questions.
Well, I try hard ...
I did cd /usr/share/applications, and got
# ls|grep dnf org.mageia.dnfdragora.desktop org.mageia.dnfdragora-localinstall.desktop org.mageia.dnfdragora-updater.desktop
Is there some repo somewhere from which I can grep the standard icons for those three?
Meanwhile, I got a surprise. I tried to construct the command, not surprisingly getting several failures -- my CLI-foo is miniscule. But then came this:
[root@localhost btth]# /usr/share/applications/org.mageia.dnfdragora- localinstall.desktop -bash: /usr/share/applications/org.mageia.dnfdragora-localinstall.desktop: Permission denied [root@localhost btth]#
I suppose I should be glad it failed; but WHO has power to give or refuse permission to root??
I also went back (as user, not root) to the GUI of /usr/share/ applications, opened the file for the installer, and found a box saying its command is dnfdragora-localinstall.desktop; I copied that, added a &, and got a screenful of messages I don't understand.
