On Ubuntu Precise, GMM 1.0.23.1334-r0 seems to use \/usr\/local\/share\/applications instead of \/usr\/share\/applications for the desktop file (there&#8217;s also a copy in \/opt\/google\/musicmanager\/, but it&#8217;s apparently just used for installing the effective file into \/usr\/local\/).<\/p>\n<p>@Nuno: I&#8217;m not sure I see the point of encrypting the application-specific password, and then be prompted to enter the key for decrypting the password. Isn&#8217;t it more straightforward to just specify the application-specific password when GMM prompts you to? Actually, with the caveat that specifying the password on the commandline means exposing it to trusted users, isn&#8217;t having GMM prompt for it a *better* solution securitywise? I guess you do get the benefit of getting to specify your own password which can be as easily memorizable as you dare use though (the application-specific passwords are difficult). Instead of OpenSSL I&#8217;d probably use GNOME Keyring, as it gets unlocked during login without an extra prompt for another password. Then pick the key for GMM using gkeyring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Ubuntu Precise GMM uses \/usr\/local\/share\/applications for the desktop file.
