I just checked the package, and the reason is that the nvidia driver does not actually ship the .desktop file in /usr/share/applications/, but in a different dir, and I suppose the postinst creates a link dynamically. This does not trigger a rebuild of the menu cache.
What we can do here is: nvidia-graphics-drivers call update-gnome-menus- cache directly after the alternative setup, or better, we add a named trigger "gmenucache" which n-g-d just needs to call in its postinst with "dpkg-trigger gmenucache". ** Changed in: gnome-menus (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged ** Also affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Jockey doesn't add nvidia-xconfig (Nvidia X Server Settings) to menu after installing nvidia driver until you re-login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/522969 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
