[Bug 1499322] [NEW] Wily: No Dash Icon After Package Install Until New Session

[Buzzing Robot]

Public bug reported:

15.10 Wily, updated :

After installing a package (standard repo packages) via apt/apt-
get/Synaptic, that item is not found by a Dash search and its icon does
not appear in a manual display of applications in Dash.

Appropriate .desktop files are placed in /usr/share/applications.

The items can be found in a new session, i.e., after logging out and
logging in.

I've seen this repeatedly on multiple clean installs from the dailies.

Apt is at: 1.0.9.10ubuntu7

Dash is: 0.5.7-4ubuntu2

Doesn't happen to all newly installed though certainly for some. So some examples of packages that don't show till a log out/in may be useful.
On a fresh 15.10 install today 4 examples
vlc - shows
audacious - shows
synaptic - doesn't show
nvidia-settings - doesn't show

From the above very short list the 2 that don't show immediately happen

to not have a %letter at end of the .desktop's Exec= line, the 2 that do
show do have such an ending..

More examples of those that don't show would be nice to know & see if
the %letter is a factor or not.

With Ultraedit (www.idmcomp.com) I found that a re-install made the
program icon visible in the dash (tested twice). I didn't need to log
out and log back in again. I've also seen this bug affect synaptic.

Hi guys,

I'm having the same problem reported. Every time I install a program, be
it through the "apt-get install" or through a package "DEB" when I look
the same in the "Dash" it is not found.

When I run the program via "Terminal" it works correctly.

So that the program icon back to "appear" in the "dash" to restart my
Ubuntu system.
