Ubuntu :: Adding Program To Launcher In 10.10?
Oct 15, 2010
I have just completed a clean install of Ubuntu 10.10 on my Acer Aspire Netbook. The first program I installed was WINE and then I installed "Spotify for Windows". All works well, but I need to start it by opening a terminal and typing - Wine "C:Program FilesSpotifySpotify.exe" which is a little cumbersome.
I want to add a shortcut to the launcher but I cannot find a way to do this. I have found a "Main Menu" option in Applications, but the options and items in there don't seem to correspond to the launcher in any way.
Is there a way of adding something to the launcher or to get the main menu to display so I can customize it from the Main Menu utility.

I was wondering if there was any way that I could add a launcher for an application that has to be launched from a specific directory. Not particularly a Desktop launcher, but perhaps under the Applications/Games tab in Gnome at the top. I want to be able to drag that launcher down to my AWN dock.

and

After launching an application, if I choose to "Keep in Launcher", it appears to work fine; however, on the next boot, its gone. Also, dragging an icon appears to work, but it too disappears on the launcher after the next boot/login.

I'm finally getting around to configuring my Xfce desktop environment and I'm having a lot of trouble having applications remember their last position. I did some Googling and found this is either not a supported feature or it depends on the application if they want to support it or not.
I'm trying to make my default terminal start in the center of the screen.
I found that you can add the command line parameter
Code:
For example and it should open at a 70x20 size in the 20+30 position. I added that to my panel launcher's command and ended up with
Code:
However the terminal isn't opening at all.
After further reading, I discovered the default launchers use your preferred applications so I just used replaced the launch command with the following and it worked perfectly:
Code:

I'd like to make a launcher that starts a couple of programs at once. When I switch my brain into 'work mode' I'd like one click to start evolution, firefox and sunbird.

I have installed Blender from Blender.org. I have installed it my home directory. After launching Blender the icon appears in the unity launcher. Then I fixed the icon in the launcher via the context menu. After restart the Blender icon does not reappear? How can I realize that the Blender icon shows up very time after starting Ubuntu?

I love the Ubuntu launcher and am currently using it.However I was wondering if it'd be possible to have it stick to the left and not push back into the side.So when a program is maximized it doesn't go over the launcher.

I run a program by executing this command in a terminal screen.Code:coco@coco-desktop:~/Escritorio/MO_1.10/MagnumOpus$ java -jar MagnumOpus.jarSince it is a bit tedious, I tried to create a launcher. I copied the above code into the Command box. The launcher is created, but fails to run the program. Instead I get an error message.

I can't hide the launcher in unity 3D. In 2D, it works fine, hides when i open a program, looks normal, everything. In 3D, it stays on top of whatever program I'm running. What I've tried Reinstalled unity 2D. (apt-get remove, apt-get install) For whatever reason, when I log into 3D without 2D installed, it looks like gnome, but the screen is garbled, the images disappear, menus come up as plain black squares, i literally can't even open a program. Once I install unity 2D, 3D works fine, but I can't hide the launcher. Messed around with CCSM. I tried each option under hide launcher in unity plugin (never, autohide, dodge windows, dodge active windows). None of them change anything. Updated everything through update manager (last night actually). Both 2D & 3D look and work fine, no lag or sluggish behavior. All of the effects look normal. I just can't get rid of the big launcher covering up everything I do! I've just been using 2D, although I would like to use 3D.

1st, I got the OS install. I just want to hide some program launcher from menu bar. In the old Gnome, it work this way, I put the mouse on the menu bar, and then right click, choose preference then I can hide everything I wanna hide. But I can not do that on F12 any more, I tired to refer to Gnome instruction manual on Gnome web site. It seems like they did not change anything on Gnome 2.28. Since the instruction remain the same.
2nd I also want to ask, how do I change the default interface language setting in F12? In previous version I just need to do that in SYSTEM-->Preference. But I can not see the option any more either.
3rd I can not install the NVIDIA proprietary driver even though I got GCC and kernel development header in place. The install log said:" The binary file is not for the kernel" Well, I just use the regular i686 kerenl as usual. It does not make sense it will not work.
I got the driver running by using the rpmfusion driver, not the one from Nvida
By the way, The nouveau driver in F12 works far from OK on my GO 7300. It just like a slave driver that whip the GPU at full out all the time, let alone it does not have 3D capability.
The live cd does not include GCC and kernel development header. That made me feel like walking on the moon but forgot to put the gravity suite on.

I've gotten everything working on my laptop except the webcam. I'm trying to use webkam (from kde repo) but the launcher starts up but the program doesn't start. The driver is "uvcvideo" which loads with no error messages.

I'm interested in finding out, specifically, what causes daemon's to be shutdown when I shutdown Ubuntu? I'm use Ubuntu which is why I'm posting here, but I suppose this knowledge could apply to other Disto's too. Perhaps I'm better off to explain with an example:
I wrote a C++ that queries a Mysql database. I want it to run every time the computer is shutdown. I've verified the program works fine, and I've verified that I can run a program on shutdown of the computer by putting it in /etc/rc0.d. The problem is that by the time rc0.d runs my program, mysql has already been shutoff, and it can't connect.
So what I'm wondering is, is there a script or something at a higher level that goes around turning things like daemons as the System shutdowns, but before any of the scripts in rc0.d are run? (It doesn't look like anything in here is shutting down mysql). Something that actually calls mysql shutdown? How I can add my program to be run before mysql shuts down.
Otherwise, I might end up having to get the source code compile by own /sbin/shutdown and tweak it from there. Granted I might end up doing this anyway because there's more stuff I want to customize during shutdown (e.g. abort it under certain conditions), but I'm hoping not to go that far just yet.

I would like to install a program called VariCAD. I downloaded the install file (full file name: varicad2010-en_2.06_amd64.deb) but was wondering if one couldn't somehow do this via the repository, kind of like I did for my nvidia drivers? Is it possible?

is it possible to do so? I mean, I want every user to be able to run '/bin/x' for example, as root without entering a password. I know the security risks, but I'm trying this in a risk-free environment which security does not matter very much.

For some reason the general launcher button (+ in circle) in the unity menu has disappeared. I do not know how to restore it. Which means I have great problems to start al apps that are not standard in the menu.

I was wondering whether there is an inbuilt logging system in UNIX?
I ran and installation and the program opened up automatically but I can't find the program executable.
If I could find a log then I could locate this file.

I am trying to make an app launcher for Ubuntu which replaces the top bar (default) in gnome. It will be a menu system in the middle of the screen which you would click on parts to bring up lists of apps and locations. What would be the easiest way to do this, and in which code?

On Xubuntu, I right click something like I did on Ubuntu, to add to panel.. It just clicks the program. There is NO options when I right click a program in Applications. It's frustrating.. re's an incredibly unnecessary way that is different than Ubuntu to put an application to my panel.
