I have installed Scilab through the Ubuntu software center. When I try to launch it from the Applications menu it will not start. Same hapens if i try to launch it using alt-F2. But I can launch it using the terminal.
View 3 RepliesI installed Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit, downloaded Adobe reader '.bin', from the terminal
It extracted and asked me for a installation location, to which i put [~]
It then finished the installation.
But when i click on the icon in the start menu or on desktop it fails to start, when i also click on a .pdf document it also fails to start!
I feel shy asking this question but, 90% of the applications I install in Ubuntu (last release), do not show up later on in the applications menu, so I cant run them. I know it seems silly, but I can't find the way to handle this inconvenience. Is there a place (like Start> All programs in Windows), were I could find and run all the programs I install?

I tried older versions, same problem. I used to run scilab 4.x on slackware 11_32bit, it ran great.
I'm trying to write a slackbuild for doing a slackware package from the binary distribution of scilab.org.If you want to test it, it's here
[URL]
there's also a slack64 package made from the slackbuild.to use the slackbuild you have to download your file distribution in the same folder from here [URL] and then you have to launch it like this
Code:
ARCH=x86_64 PKGTYPE=txz TAG=custom ./scilab.SlackBuild
available archs are i686 and x86_64
EDIT: edited build script to install things in /opt. updated package.
This may be elementary to some, and prolly should to me. Quiet awhile ago I took off wine and deleted EVERYTHING wine from my /home. Now I want to try wine again, and I know it's installed, but it don't show up in applications. I've tried "edit menus > revert" but that don't work. I hear wine has made some progress and don't want to format my /home partition.

I've installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop using WUBI to preserve my Windows XP installation. I plan to use it for work so have installed our VPN client and a desktop sharing application through a .sh script and a .deb package respectively. The Applications Menu was updated with the submenu and icons for the new applications and I copied thm to the desktop as well. However when I log out and log back in again my menus and desktop have reverted back to what they were before, and my icons have disappeared.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI just downloaded the most recent SuperTuxKart from SourceForge. It is ready-to-run (no compiling, no making).The script that runs the whole thing contains this single line:Code:LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./bin/: bin/supertuxkartOf course, when I double-click on it, I select Run and I'm off racing Tux.But I'd like this to be in the Applications > Games menu.I tried adding a launcher and for the command I just browsed to that script and clicked OK.But when I click the launcher, nothing starts.So what to do? The script has no shebang line, do I put one in? Granted I can just create a desktop shortcut, but I'd really like it to be up there with my other games.

I am having a HARD, PARTIAL FAILURE OF SOUND on my Linux system (Slackware 13.1, the latest, with a 2.6.33.4-smp kernel and KDE 4.4.3). The failure is "HARD" in the sense that once it occurs it remains broken until I reboot the system. It's a "PARTIAL" failure in that it affects ONLY SOME sound software on my system. Here is a list of what fails and what doesn't. (I'm sure there are other programs I could use to test with, but I don't know what they are since I am "just an average user" when it comes to multimedia software.)
These don't fail:
Amarok
KDE event notification
These do fail:
Firefox
Xine
Mplayer
In the things that fail it is only the sound portion of whatever (flash, mp4, etc) which goes away; the video portion plays normally.n I leave my system up for days at a time. The failure occurs some "long-ish" time (days) after I reboot. I have no idea what triggers it. I do not use sound most of the time, but when I do it's music through Amarok (which doesn't fail) so I do not notice the failure when it occurs.
It seems clear to me that it is NOT the failed programs which are at fault but it is, rather, some underlying set of sound libraries and/or servers used in common by all the programs which fail, and that the failure occurs when something happens which affects that set of sound libraries and/or servers. I don't think this is specifically a Slackware issue since I've seen a few other problem reports on the web where the sound simply stops on non-Slackware Linux systems. Some of the problem reports I've seen suggest that playing sound from one program stops sound from other programs. I've tried various combinations of sound-producing programs but none have triggered the problem.
I've looked at /var/log/{messages,debug,syslog} and see nothing relevant. I've gotten process lists from ps before and after the failure and no "relevant" processes have gone away. (But note, as before, that I am NOT a Linux "multimedia guy" so I can only make intelligent guess at what is "relevant".) Does anyone know what this problem is and, better still, how to solve it? Or where I could look for additional clues? Is there some way to "reset" the sound system without having to reboot?
I have tried installing logmein in wine. It installed fine, but didn't work so I removed it. Its icons though, would not be deleted so I removed Wine entry in "Edit menus".
after this I purged wine, deleted /.wine and reinstalled, but the menu entries do not get reinstalled. I know how to make launchers, what I want is the interactive menus back (browse c, uninstall and programs)
I want to put a script of mine in the applications menu , so that when I click on it , it executes itself ...so I created a new application by the name myapplication.desktop in /usr/share/applications/ . But when in GUI mode I traverse down to this directory and click on myapplication.desktop . It gives me an error "myapplication.desktop is not a directory". The crazy part is that when I run it using the terminal freedom@freedom-laptop: /usr/share/applications$ myapplication it runs perfectly well. I can't understand the problem...the script is correct , but I don't know about the error saying "it is not a directory" as all the other files in there are also files and they do run even in graphical mode .

If I'm perfectly honest, I really don't like the "messaging menu". I don't like the way it's a single point that lumps all sorts of messages together. From a socialite's perspective, I'm sure it's awesome... from a more business orientated perspective, it's cumbersom - the icon is green, does that mean I have an important email, a new post has popped up on my RSS feed (via Liferea), or is it just Bob saying "Hi" in Empathy... I won't know until I click it I would rather have separate notification icons for the individual applications, just like it used to be. Now, I know how to remove application from the Messaging Menu... or at least I thought I did.
I just tried removing 'gwibber' from /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications I have stopped using Empathy (I have used Pidgin/GAIM for a lot longer and I'm stuck in my ways ), so that's gone. I have removed the PPA version of Liferea that had Message Menu integration, so that's gone. I have removed Evolution as I use (and have done so for ~10 years) ClawsMail, so that's gone. The last thing I want to get rid of is Gwibber. I like Gwibber, I just don't want it in the Messaging Menu.
i recently installed spotify for wine for a second time, but the icon has not appeared in the applications>wine menu like it did the first time i installed it, is there a way to add the icon to the wine menu, or a reason why the icon did not go straight to the wine menu like it normally does when a new program is installed?
