Ubuntu :: Custom Launcher Application - Will Only Execute Once?

Aug 1, 2011

I'm running 11.04, and I installed the following script for a custom google docs launcher to put in the unity launcher. However, if I execute the application it opens, but once I close the browser, the google docs launcher is no longer clickableAs a side note, I'd also like the launcher to open the new template of google docs because it opens to the older interface when selecting to make a new document.

Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0

Ubuntu :: Unable To Set Custom Icon On Application Launcher?

Jan 19, 2011

I am using Ubuntu 10.10 and having trouble setting a custom icon for an application launcher that I created. I have created and SVG file and placed it in /usr/shared/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/ and when I try to select it as the icon for the application launcher, it just goes back to the gnome-panel-launcher.svg default.If I put the SVG file on my desktop and then select it, all is well. I'm assuming this is some type of permission problem, but I cannot seem to figure it out. I have set the permissions to be identical to the other icons in /usr/shared/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/, but have no luck doing that either.

Debian Multimedia :: No Gnome 3.14 Custom Application Launcher?

Jun 30, 2015

Seems like such an unbelievably basic question, but a day of google searches as well as directly on this site with key word combinations like "jessie gnome application launch" or "jessie gnome launcher" has only yielded one remark somewhere that the only way to get any kind of custom application launcher working on a gnome 3.14 desktop is to copy an already existing one from an older gnome setup, such as Wheezy.

I know gnome is a bit limited compared to many other desktops, but besides this I consider gnome in Jessie very good and just can't believe the ability to customize application launchers could have really been made completely impossible to do. This single omission alone would make gnome extremely lame in my view, so I sure hope that is not in fact the way it is.

Ubuntu :: Creating Custom Command/menu Launcher?

Sep 20, 2010

I had a problem with viewing webcams on Skype, and after searching I found out that running Skype through the terminal with this command "export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 && skype" makes the webcams work perfectly. What I wanted to do was to integrate this command into the main menu so that I won't have to type it into the terminal (and thus keep the terminal open all the session) every time I want to use Skype. So I edited the command of the Skype button in the Applications menu and put that line instead of "skype", but it gives me "Failed to execute child process "export" (No such file or directory)". I tried editing .bashrc and added the following line:

alias skp='export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 && skype'

Now the command 'skp' works through the terminal, but it gives me the same error message when I put it into the command line of the applications menu.

Ubuntu :: Custom Keyboard Shortcut Environment Has Different SSH_AUTH_SOCK Than Launcher

Dec 15, 2010

If I launch "Terminal" from the Main Menu under Accessories, the environment includes the correct SSH_AUTH_SOCK variable:

Code:
declare -x SSH_AUTH_SOCK="/tmp/keyring-M9jm0W/ssh"

The same is true if I launch a terminal from the default keyboard shortcut ("Run a terminal"). However, if I create a custom keyboard shortcut (System->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts) which simply executes 'gnome-terminal' the SSH_AUTH_SOCK variable is quite different:

Code:
declare -x SSH_AUTH_SOCK="/tmp/ssh-QmxIEa1830/agent.1830"

This causes my shortcut to ssh to a remote host to prompt for a passphrase (thus defeating the purpose of gnome-keyring in this case).

Ubuntu :: Add A Launcher In Application Menu

Sep 18, 2010

I got a problem trying to add a luncher in my application menu. I installed netgen and it works fine. If I try to launch it from the terminal like "$ netgen", it does work. It also works if I double click on the program icon in its folder. But when I try to make a launcher in the menu, it doesn't. I tried both Application (nothing happens) and Application in Terminal (I see a window flash for a second and then it disappears).

Ubuntu :: Adding A Launcher For An Application?

Apr 12, 2010

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.

Ubuntu :: 'Customized Application Launcher' Removed?

Sep 16, 2010

The "Customized Application Launcher" function is no longer in my "Add to Panel" Window. Nor do I have the ability to "edit" existing launchers anymore.Is this a feature or a bug? I am sincerely hoping it's not a feature, it's a "look for a different window manager" kind of feature if it is. I don't have a launcher for Firefox and can't create one. (I probably can by hand editing some config files somewhere but I have no idea which ones). And I'm not inclined to do so. I had it up until my most recent updates, 30 minutes ago.

(update)It's running Lucid, AMD64. I have three other Lucid boxes and none of them acquired the same issue after updates so I now believe it to be something with this machine. After rummaging around for a few hours I have not found the fix. Can someone please tell me the program(s) that are responsible for this? That would at least point me in a better direction than I have now.And oh yes, I have logged out, rebooted and re-installed a few things with no change.

And..to make it more interesting. When logged in as root I HAVE this functionality, so it's something peculiar to this user profile.I gave up, made myself a new homedir, copied everything but .gnome and its subtree and a few other .subdirs and the functionality is back. I have no idea what fixed it, or broke it for that matter. But this is a valid workaround, worked for me..

Ubuntu :: Launch An Additional Application And Add It To The Launcher?

Dec 2, 2010

I run 10.10, netbook. Fine so far. I don't manage to call an application that I added manually, though. I have created a menu item, with all subdetails, a proper command, icon, everything. And I can see it in the menu editor, and it is there, even after a reboot. But: How to launch it?? It never shows up under applications, it doesn't show up in Searches, I can't type it in. It does work fine, though, when I open a terminal and add the proper command. It then also shows in the launcher list (left column). But it can't make it 'stick' there, the right-click option does not show in this case.

how to *start* an application that I have added to the menu? Why would a menu item never show as an available application?

Ubuntu :: Application Launcher With Multiple Commands

Jan 27, 2011

I created a application launcher (type:terminal) to replace the index.php on my apache server (/var/www/) with the index I keep updated on my desktop.

This is the exact script I'm using on the launcher:

My idea was the launcher would delete the current file at /var/www/, and then copy the file on /home/andre/Desktop.

But its not behaving properly, it is deleting both the file in my /var/www/ AND my desktop.

Ubuntu :: Menu Bar And Application Launcher Disappear?

Apr 16, 2011

I am running 11.04.

My application launcher on the left side and the main menu bar at the top of the screen have disappeared. When I boot up, all I see is my desktop background and "Computer" icon.

I was messing around with the compiz settings and enabled and then disabled the cube effects. When I did so I disabled some plugins but can't remember which ones.

Ubuntu :: Change Width Or Size Of Application Launcher In Unity?

Apr 30, 2011

I just started the latest Ubuntu and like Unity a lot but I have a question about the application launcher.I have added a few applications to this launcher but the problem is it now takes up more than the screen. It seems if I scroll through it I can have it scroll down to use more applications.What I'd like to do is either make the application icons smaller so that they can all fit on the screen without me having to scroll or either make it wider so that there can be two vertical rows of application icons.Are there any options to do this or make any other changes to the application launcher?

Ubuntu :: Add New Printer - Add Application To Launcher On Left Side Of Screen?

Apr 13, 2011

I normally use gentoo, but have been persuaded to put Ubuntu 10.10 with Unity on my wife's laptop (HP Pavilion dv5). It's a rather steep learning curve. How do I add a new printer? CUPS asks for root's password, which is unknown/undefined. I tried sudo, but I'm not in the sudoers file. Catch 22? How do I add an application to the launcher on the left side of the screen? Drag & Drop does not appear to be available. How do I get back to the standard Gnome desktop?

Fedora :: How To Create Launcher For Application Using DosBox

Jun 13, 2011

how do I create a launcher for an application using DosBox? I tried in Alacarte, but it does not show up. I did this both as root and as user.Disregard. It did create the launchers. It just put them in "Other" even though I told it to create them in "Internet" so they are there, but just not where I want them. That is okay since now I can add them to my favorites and put them in the order I want.

I guess I will like Gnome 3 better as I find tweaks to make it work like I want it to work. Still though, it is not nearly as user friendly as my heavily tweaked Gnome 2 with Compiz.Another question though: How do I get it to select and use a photo I want for the background instead of the stock images? It is annoying as all get-out to have the screen turn to grey rather than stay the way I want it. :
