Bug Description

Install Ubuntu One. Open System Settings. There are two Ubuntu One launchers.

Possible Fixes:
1. Have the real Ubuntu One replace (provides?) the installer
2. The installer should be smart enough to hide itself from System Settings after being installed.
3. Since the installer provides a System Settings icon that can launch the real Ubuntu One, don't have the real Ubuntu One provide a System Settings launcher. This would require the real Ubuntu One to depend on the installer to work as designed, but perhaps having the installer still installed isn't a good idea.

The .desktop file in ubuntuone-installer should not include the magic to make it show in g-c-c shell. That is, it should not have the X-GNOME-Settings-Panel field and the Categories field should be changed to a different value

(Copying my comment from bug 837660)

This is caused by incorrect flags in ubuntuone-control-panel-gtk.desktop.

I have this problem on a fresh install of Oneiric Beta 1. No prior setup with Ubuntu One was done. I also get duplicate Ubuntu One entries in the Dash (as noted in a comment and screenshot attachment I made on bug 841141, which was marked as a duplicate of this one).

-------------------------

I tried making this change to /usr/share/app-install/desktop/ubuntuone-control-panel-gtk.desktop but the file seemed to be empty or not there (I was using gedit to access it). Could you please give some instructions on how to make this change as it would be great to sort this if it's an easy fix?

Michael, the app-install desktop files are for Software Center icons. Try /usr/share/applications/ instead.

Thanks for the hint, Jeremy. I edited /usr/share/applications/ubuntuone-control-panel-gtk.desktop using nano according to Dmitry's fix, and I can confirm it works for getting rid of the duplicate Ubuntu One entry in System Settings. I'm still getting duplicate entries in the Dash, however.

What should be changed is /usr/share/applications/ubuntuone-installer.desktop, not /usr/share/applications/ubuntuone-control-panel-gtk.desktop, since the latter is a 1-time thing, so has no place in the control center

Actually, we need to do a fair bit more work to make this right, providing the user experience we want. It seems we need to remove the control panel .desktop completely, and use _NET_WM_CLASS within it, so we don't get duplicate launchers in unity.

When will the fix be pushed out? I still don't see the problem resolved, and my system as of right now is fully up-to-date.

It is fixed in trunk and nightlies, but not yet in Ubuntu, as is reflected in this bug's status.

There are some other fixes we want to put in a new release, and they require some freeze exceptions; and any new release at the moment will require a freeze exception for being uploaded during beta freeze.

I'm using the last patches on the date of this post and still I'm experiencing the issue. Is the fix going to be implemented on the final release?
