[Lazarus] Just installed fpc/lazarus from sources on Ubuntu 20, cannot find desktop file
I have successfully built Lazarus 2.0.12 with fpc 3.2.2 on an Ubuntu 20.04.3 machine running the Cinnamon desktop. I have noted this problem: The desktop file is not recognized by Ubuntu so it shows in the main menu. I have created it here: $HOME/.local/share/applications/lazarus_2.0.12.desktop If I copy the desktop file to $HOME/Desktop then it appears on the screen and I can start it. But I want it on the menu The content is this (newsreader wraps long lines so Exec= is wrapped): [Desktop Entry] Comment=Lazarus IDE 2.0.12 Terminal=false Name=Lazarus 2.0.12 Exec=/home/bosse/devel/lazarus/2.0.12/startlazarus --pcp=/home/bosse/.lazarus_2.0.12 %f Type=Application Icon=/home/bosse/devel/lazarus/2.0.12/images/ide_icon48x48.png Categories=Application;IDE;Development;GTK;GUIDesigner;Programming; NoDisplay=false Keywords=editor;Pascal;IDE;FreePascal;fpc;Design;Designer; Does Ubuntu with Cinnamon place the files in another location? -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden -- ___ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
