I saw the webapps are now available via synaptic (unity-webapps-*) and gave them a try. Now I have uninstalled them but I can still see the webapps in the applications scope and in the messaging menu. Clicking them just opens a new chrome window (chrome is my default browser) but all the webapp functionality is gone.

So how do I remove the icons?

So I was just trying out the Ubuntu 12.10 webapps feature, but they don't seem to be working as they should.. I notice a few things that (to me) don't work as intended, or shown of in some video's.

First of all, most of them don't integrate with the messaging menu, even if they should. For example, as far as I heard, the GMail webapp should show in the messaging menu, but it's not there at all.

I removed the package apt-get remove unity-webapps-facebook. After restarting, nothing but my desktop icons show. The top menu, and the leftside one is gone.

Opening the terminal with Ctrl+Alt+T, and typing unity tells me It's been uninstalled.

webapps doesn't show up 30 weeks 3 days ago

I have chosen some of the available webapps to integrate to my ubuntu 12.10, but none of them are functioning. I tried doing this from firefox and also by installing unity-webapps-* directly. But I got nothing. What should I do?

Today my launcher looks like a long vertical bar of icons. I have 14 webapp icons on the launcher but there is no option to remove them or an option to no include them (Or even an option to merge them as I asked in a previous question).

Hi

I wanted to try Ubuntus new feature - webapps. If I visit Youtube of Gmail it offers me to install a webapp, but after clicking "install" nothing happens and I can't find installed app anywhere.

When I open Firefox and visit any of the webapp enabled webpages I have installed, I get a launcher icon for them. The same does not appear to be when I use for example Google Chrome. Do webapps only work for Firefox?

I'd like to create a webapp to integrate with a music website and include the played songs in the Sound Menu.

I'm looking at the code for the Grooveshark and Pandora scripts as an example that is helping me get started.

However, I do not quite grasp what's happening behind the scenes and I'd like to debug my script to see how it works.

What's the best way to debug webapps?
