Two Linux packaging issues, both surfaced by the netbird-ui deb/rpm built from .goreleaser_ui.yaml. 1) License / vendor metadata ---------------------------- The nfpm entries for the UI package set only maintainer/description/ homepage, leaving the License and Vendor RPM/DEB tags empty. KDE Discover (and GNOME Software) then render the package as "Licenses: Unknown" / "Unknown author", with a scary license-warning popup on install. The daemon's main .goreleaser.yaml already set license (commit #5659) but never vendor, and the UI config was skipped entirely. Fix: add `license: BSD-3-Clause` + `vendor: NetBird` to both UI nfpm entries (deb + rpm), and `vendor: NetBird` to the daemon's deb + rpm entries for consistency. BSD-3-Clause is correct for client/ui — the repo is BSD-3-Clause except management/, signal/, relay/, combined/ (AGPLv3), none of which the UI touches. 2) KDE Wayland window/taskbar icon ---------------------------------- On KDE Plasma 6 under Wayland the app launched with the generic Wails icon in the window titlebar and the taskbar / Alt-Tab switcher, even though /usr/share/pixmaps/netbird.png (the launcher icon, resolved from the desktop entry's `Icon=netbird`) was correct. Root cause is how a Wayland compositor decides a window's icon. Unlike X11 there is no per-window _NET_WM_ICON the app can push at runtime — GTK4 even removed gtk_window_set_icon, so the embedded assets/netbird.png the binary carries is simply ignored. Instead the compositor matches the window's Wayland **app_id** to an installed .desktop file and uses that entry's `Icon=` key. The app_id is not "netbird": Wails hardcodes it as `org.wails.<name>` (pkg/application/linux_cgo.go: `fmt.Sprintf("org.wails.%s", name)`, name = sanitized Options.Name), yielding **org.wails.netbird**. There is no Wails option to override the prefix. Verified the live value on the Fedora-40 / KDE 6.3 / Wayland test VM by dumping workspace.windowList() via a KWin script: js: ZZZWIN org.wails.netbird ## NetBird KDE needs two things to associate the running window with our desktop entry and thus paint our icon: - the desktop entry's basename should equal the app_id, so the titlebar decoration (which looks the entry up by app_id -> <app_id>.desktop) finds it, and - a `StartupWMClass=<app_id>` line, which the taskbar / task switcher use to map the surface to the entry. Fix (no Wails fork needed — app_id stays org.wails.netbird, which the user never sees; only Name=NetBird and the icon are visible): - install the desktop file as `org.wails.netbird.desktop` instead of `netbird.desktop` (both deb and rpm contents in .goreleaser_ui.yaml) - add `StartupWMClass=org.wails.netbird` to client/ui/build/linux/netbird.desktop `Icon=netbird` and the pixmaps/netbird.png payload are unchanged — they were already correct. Confirmed on the test VM that both the titlebar and taskbar/Alt-Tab now show the NetBird icon.
