Daily 3-31 - Installed Games Don't Show In Start/Games??

Hi,

It does not work in classic "Application Menu" Start menu widget...

Works for me in current builds.

Ok,
So I installed current Kubuntu 18.04 64Bit LTS
onto both my netbook and thin client today...

Same issues when adding games("Games" in Start menu is grayed out).
Can someone fix this before official release?

Hi,

Definitely an issue...
I installed "DOSBox", "Higan", and Linux "Steam" and nothing shown under Start/Games(Games category is grayed out).

However I found a work around:
I manually edited the Start menu and added "DOSBox" and saved and rebooted
and then all 4 games were listed in "Games" (I then deleted the extra "DOSBox").

Perhaps someone should look into this?
Thanks!

Another possible factor is that they may be added to the applications menu but not show up immediately - something I've observed in multiple versions of Kubuntu (though not yet in 18.04).

Checking after a few hours is not exactly a good solution but could narrow down the issue.

"some games"?

Is it ok to tell us which ones?

I could try installing them (when I get back to my desktop), and see if menu items appear for them. Some packages are not set up with standard menu entries.

Hi,

So I downloaded the current Kubuntu 18.04 64Bit LTS daily ISO and installed it.
I am in the process of setting up the system and also testing.

I installed some games using "Muon Package Manager",
but they are not listed in Start/Games(Games category is grayed out)?
(I am using traditional "Application Menu")

How do I fix this?
Thanks!

Other issues:
- Encrypting /home folder fails during installation
- After installation is finished it does not say "Remove medium and hit [Enter]"
- System Settings is pretty flaky(text disappears, unable to [Apply] changes, etc.)
- Default system won't mount LUKS encrypted hard drives
(to fix run "sudo apt-get install libblockdev-crypto2" in Konsole)
- And the above issue with "Games"

I'll continue after "Games" is working...
