- I think there is a mixup in the installation section: make install
SBINDIR=/usr/sbin doesn't do anything.
Well, bins are installed in /usr/sbin
- shouldn't /usr/sbin be replaced by some %{value} (in .consolehelper)?
As %{_sbin}/%{name}-gui ?
yes, or %{_sbindir}/gtk-lshw for example
- shouldn't /usr/bin be removed from .desktop launcher?
Why? I want to launch /usr/bin/lshw-gui, not anything else.
I noticed that (most of?) system-config*.desktop files don't honour $PATH but other applications (gimp-2.2.desktop, etc.) do. Is there a rule of thumb for this?
I notice the the installed location is now /sbin.
Yes, Lyonel said lshw* had to run as root, then they belong in /usr/sbin, the consolehelper is of course in /usr/bin, see consolehelper(8) .
Is it the intent that gtk-lshw not be called through consolehelper, but lshw-gui is ? {I haven't experienc in this area}.
A choice I made, the result is that normal users will not see the gtk-lshw command, only lshw-gui. Don't a big problem?
