Did you try to do what the docs say?
Because the very beginning of the documentation is not clear as to
what to do with the export line, I didn’t follow the steps for
Gnome3. I’ll try adding that line to .bashrc and follow the Gnome3
steps parallelly. If I succeed, I’ll try writing a small guide for
Ubuntu. The documentation is so poor, I’m surprised anyone can make
Point & Click work on any OS just by reading that. Perhaps I’m just
dumb.
Hi Martin
I improved that doc page two years ago, but reading it again now I see
that it would need a general rewrite.
First of all, how did you install Atom? It's a regular distro package
(like .deb or .rpm)? Or maybe a flatpak or similar? Did you check if
the atom binary can be found? Type this in a terminal:
which -a atom
Are you running lilypond version 2.20? If so, it's Ok.
The environment variables are usually defined in ~/.profile, ~/.bashrc
or ~/.bash_profile.
Check which files you have already with:
ls -a ~
I'm on Fedora 33 and I see .bashrc and .bash_profile.
I'll use .bash_profile and add this line:
export LYEDITOR=gedit
(I don't have Atom installed)
Then reload the file and check that the environment variable is
detected:
$ source ~/.bash_profile
$ echo $LYEDITOR
gedit
$ env | grep LYEDITOR
LYEDITOR=gedit
Add the lilypond-invoke-editor.desktop file as described in the docs.
Now point-and-click should be working. If it doesn't, close the desktop
session and start a new one, then try again.
