Aug 2, 2009I'm trying to add .desktop file for my application but I'm stuck with very strange problem.I created 48x48 icon for my program called etmmanager.png.I created .desktop file according to specifications:
Code:
[Desktop Entry]
X-SuSE-translate=true
Categories=Application;Utility;X-SuSE-TimeUtility;
Comment=ETM Manager for time logging
Exec=etmmanager
code....
My problem is that icon is not working in menu! I can find my program in Utilities->Time->ETM Manager and this is what I wanted, but there is no icon for the program.
It starts working if I specify absolute path in etmmanager.desktop file like
Code:
Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/etmmanager.png

View 7 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: Unable To Launch A .sh From A Drawer In Ubuntu?
Aug 31, 2010I have an issue that I think appeared in Ubuntu 9.10, and is no better in the Ubuntu 10.04 that I dist-upgraded to before I left work yesterday.
I'm sure there's something I'm doing incorrectly, but here's my scenario:
I have a pair of shell scripts that launch SSH sessions with different forwarded ports, and use them multiple times each day. I'd like to drag the shell script directly onto the top Ubuntu Bar where shortcuts go and be able to use it. Or, even better, put all of my frequently used shell scripts in a "drawer". I know that I used to be able to make a shortcut, and set its path to "gnome-terminal -e file://xx.sh" and the script would run in a new terminal window.
When I try to do this, a terminal opens with an error dialog that reads "There was an error creating the child process for this terminal". Permissions?

Fedora :: DVD Drawer Won't Stay Open?
Apr 12, 2010I just installed FC12 (2.6.31.5-127.fc12.x86_64) alongside Windows7 on a brand new box, and the DVD drive is driving me nuts. In FC, I can't get the DVD drawer to stay open. When I press the eject button, r slides out, but then slides right back in again immediately. When I start the SystemTools->DiskUtility (Palimpsest), the Eject function is grayed out.The drive itself seems to work just fine, I used it for the FC install from LiveCD. In Windows, the drawer works properly.The only device info I can see for the drive is DH16AAL, I don't know if that's a model no. and I don't know the manuf. Says SCSI, but it's got a SATA cable. The rest of the box is:

Aug 18, 2011I am looking for a way to programmatically (Python or shell) set up my panels, drawers, app launchers and stuff. Just wondering if there is a way to do that - or a standard approach to it and such.
Am using Gnome - the regular install - no extra components or such. Would it be easier to do it if I was using Gnome 3. Just putting the question out there in case someone is using Gnome 3 and it would be easier to do the automated setup in Gnome 3.

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Add A New Icon To Starter Without Using The Desktop?
Aug 6, 2011i just installed eclipse, the newewst version from the developer website of course, because the one out of the software center is more than outdated.
Now i have the problem that i don't have any icon in the starter. When i start eclipse i can right click on the icon and make it stick to the startet forever but it has no icon and i can't change it.
So my question is now: How do i add one to the starter? And i don't want to use the desktop right clicking and create a new starter variation of the solution. Firefox has no .desktop file for it's icon in the starter either.
P.S.: For the futurue version a right click on the starter->add or right click on and icon->edit

Ubuntu :: How To Get Icon On Desktop That Will Give You Shutdown Men
Jan 4, 2010Searched forever on how to get an icon on the desktop that will give you the shutdown menu. Every post I found said it wasn't possible, but it can be done (and very simply too)!FYI, this was done in Karmic (9.10)
1. Right click on desktop and select "Create Launcher..."
2. Give it a name and in the command field put "gnome-session-save --shutdown-dialog"
I also found the icon "usrshareiconsHumanityactions48applicat ion-exit.svg" to be well suited to replace the standard launcher icon.

Jun 17, 2010I hate the purple "Show Desktop Icon" in Lucid and I finally figured out how to change it:
1) sudo apt-get install wmctrl
2) Create the following script and proceed as directed within the script's comments:
#!/bin/sh
# GLD's Show Desktop Button script. Here's how to do it.
# sudo apt-get install wmctrl
# Right click on the panel and select "Add To Panel".
# Choose "Custom Application Launcher".
# Use the file name of this script for the Command.
# Use whatever icon that you want. The generic Ubuntu Show_Desktop_Button icon is located here:
# /usr/share/gnome/help/user-guide/C/figures/show_desktop_button.png
if [ -f /tmp/toggle_show_desktop_$USER ]thenwmctrl -k off
rm /tmp/toggle_show_desktop_$USER elsewmctrl -k on
