If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. I have faced a similar problem. It's sad because I think that SageMath is one of the best open-source mathematical software systems. It has a lot of different math features that make doing homework and projects much easier. Actually, I like to use different online free resources to get help with my studying. For my writing tasks, I prefer to go to https://happyessays.com/ as here I can find content on any topic. Moreover, I know that this open-source is also used by lots of researchers and scientists, so it's great to know that I'm using something that's trusted by experts in the field. Overall, it's a great resource for anyone who needs help with math or wants to explore different areas of mathematics, and it's important to fix bugs as soon as possible. |
Description of problem: Presently SageMath's desktop launcher appears in the "Other" category of the desktop menus of at least GNOME, it would be ideal if it appeared in the same category as GNU Octave, that is, Education. What I propose is simple, add this to the %install part of its spec file: sed -i -e "s|Categories=Science;Math;|Categories=Education;Science;Math|g" %{buildroot}%{_datadir}/applications/%{name}.desktop Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): SageMath 8.0-2.fc28 How reproducible: Very. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start GNOME, after installing it if needed, along with SageMath on Fedora 28. 2. Click on the application menu 3. Observe where the SageMath desktop launchers appear. Actual results: It appears in the "Other" submenu. Expected results: It appears in the "Education" submenu.
