I installed Nixnote on Ubuntu 12.04, locked the icon to my launcher, and set a custom icon via /usr/share/applications/nixnote.desktop.
When I copy nixnote.desktop to ~/.config/autostart/, Nixnote shows up in my startup applications list with the proper icon. When I log off then log back on, Nixnote launches automatically (as it should).
I have 3 android applications. One main application call other 2 applications (main application will be interface for other 2 applications). I would like to have only one icon of this main app. I have 3 applications they can be downloaded separately. Now I need the other applications to check if the main application is installed. If not, download and install main app.
This is a question that involves multiple issues involved in creating a menu tied to a Launcher icon. I'm using a fresh install of 12.04 (AMD64 version).
I've written a small yad (Yet Another Dialog editor) script which displays a dialog containing several choices for launching a set of related programs.
I am facing a problem with the dash not showing proper/actual icons for certain applications such as Google Chrome and Mozilla Daily Mail. Instead of getting the standard icons for these applications, I get to see a default icon for all the applications.
Hi All.
I just upgraded my Ubuntu version from 10.04 to 12.04. When I click a Launcher icon, such as Firefox (just an example), the application will not start. To start the application, I need to right click on the icon then click on the name of the application to get it started.
One can autostart an application such that it launches on session start with an xdg desktop file in ~/.config/autostart (or /etc/xdg/autostart).
But my application (a python/gtk/webkit/html5 app) when autostarted has a unity (and a unity-2d) launcher icon that is a gray question mark, even though:
when I find it in dash, the dash shows the icon I specify in my main desktop file (in /usr/share/a
Is there a way to customize a Lucid Lynx Launcher icon for various programs? There does not seem to be a way to do this using Create Launcher or Launcher properties. The application is not actually "installed" on the PC, the executable has just been copied.
It's a hardly any trouble but I still want to ask in case anyone knows.
I like to keep my Launcher clean with just two or three most common applications pinned. The strange behaviour is that new applications that are not pinned in the Launcher always open up at the position just above bottom pinned one.
I installed alacarte and used that to try and add an application launcher for Sublime Text, but I got an error half way through. Now I've got a launcher in my menu that links to a non existent file, without an icon. It doesn't show up in alacarte, and I searched in /usr/share/applications and it doesn't show up there. I cannot find any reference to it on my computer, yet still it's there.
