Ubuntu (GNOME) default video player name

  • 772

I want to report a bug with the default video player in Ubuntu.

Based on this instructions I need to also know the program name. On the icon it's named "Videos" but using ubuntu-bug videos returns an error that the package isn't installed. That is the name of the app.

App Visible on the background using Alt+F2 to trigger an error reporting modal. That states there's no such app with that name

gnome video-player

    This isn’t obvious, but the GNOME Videos applications is also known as Totem, and the corresponding package is totem:

    ubuntu-bug totem

    To find this out, the most reliable way, based on an application’s name in the launcher, is to find the corresponding launcher configuration file. Open a terminal, and run

    grep -r Videos /usr/share/applications

    This will list /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Totem.desktop; to find out which package supplies this file, run

    dpkg -S /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Totem.desktop
