http://askubuntu.com – It used to be that I could go up to the top of my desktop and there would be a file, edit etc. Now when i move my cursor over the words "Ubuntu Desktop" nothing happens. Also the "Add a launcher" entry when I right click my desktop is gone. Any ideas? Sorry if this question is poorly worded (HowTos)

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Gnome Classic desktop

I simply want to make a link to a folder on the desktop.

I found these instructions:

sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends gnome-panel

(which is not necessary since the Software centere shows gnome-panel as already installed)

Create new launcher

Open the terminal and run the following command

Code gnome-desktop-item-edit ~/Deskto

i'm trying to come up with a good .desktop file for sublime text 2, but middle click isn't opening a 2nd window, and when I specify an Exec line with --new-window sublime opens 2 windows to start!

Is there any way to specify a different command line when you middle click (shift click etc) on the unity launcher?

Creating .desktop file 40 weeks 3 days ago

I have tried to create a .desktop file to run vncviewer (tight vnc connecting to a mac). I have entered below into the file.

[Desktop Entry] Version=x.y Name=VNCViewer Comment=This is my comment Exec=/usr/bin/vncviewer 10.0.1.5:5900 Terminal=true

When I double click the file it returns "There was an error launching the application."

Any suggestions what I have done wrong in my .desktop file?

Ubuntu 12.04. I created a desktop icon named Computer... following a prompt. Now I don't want it on my desktop. It contains 2 items - CD/DVD Drive and File Systems. If I right click on the Computer icon "Move to the Rubbish Bin" is faded out. So maybe I need to move it somewhere specific. I am new to Linux and don't know if a desktop icon is simply a shortcut or something more.
