I am running Ubuntu 14.04. and installed Kupfer 208.

Kupfer

For some reason I cannot search and launch the applications from System Settings such as Display or Appearance. The Unity launcher finds all of them.

System Settings

I looked through the settings and list of plug-ins but could not find out how to index the System Setting.

  • As best I can tell, this is handled by Kupfer core. There is not a plugin that obviously applies. FWIW I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 (clean install, not an upgrade, in case that's relevant) and Kupfer v208, and system settings show up in the first box when I type their names. – Paul Bissex Sep 25 '14 at 19:35
  • I dug through the source a bit looking for clues, but ubiquitous references to Kupfer's own internal 'settings' objects makes it a tough hunt. – Paul Bissex Sep 25 '14 at 19:49

I've just upgraded and ran into this problem. Run the following commands in the terminal to fix the issue (for the logged in user only):

Copy launcher files for control centre items to user specific directory for editing

cp /usr/share/applications/unity-* /usr/share/applications/system-config-printer.desktop ~/.local/share/applications

Remove attributes preventing the launchers appearing outside of Unity

sed -i 's/OnlyShowIn=Unity;//' ~/.local/share/applications/unity-*
sed -i 's/NotShowIn=KDE;GNOME;/NotShowIn=KDE;/' ~/.local/share/applications/system-config-printer.desktop
