That “Additional Drivers” has its own .desktop file at all is the result of two ancient accidents.
First, it dates from 2008, before Ubuntu gained a unified System Settings utility. <https://launchpad.net/jockey/trunk/0.1> And second, Additional Drivers was merged into Software & Updates Settings, but nobody has yet taken the next step of integrating Software & Updates Settings into System Settings. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareAndUpdatesSettings?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=drivers-settings.mockup.png> But as long as you can access it *from* System Settings (and as well as from Software Updater and Gnome Software), I don’t think it’s appropriate for it to have a .desktop file at all. That it’s a separate app is a technical detail. FWIW, I said much the same thing more than ten years ago. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AlwaysEnableUniverseMultiverse?action=diff&rev2=39&rev1=38> -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1710377 Title: "Additional Drivers" desktop shortcut missing in Ubuntu 17.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/1710377/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
