I want to set up a large power-off icon on the desktop for a user with very poor sight. I have found a suitable icon and am now struggling with setting up the icon on the desktop.
Debian Jessie 8.8 with TDE 14.0.5. This is what I have so far: [Desktop Entry] Name=Shut_down Comment=Log out and power off Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/power-button-off_318-42222.jpg Exec=sudo /sbin/poweroff Type=Application Encoding=UTF-8 Terminal=false Categories=None; saved in /home/$USER/Desktop/ I get an icon (the wrong one!) on the desktop on which I can click and it launches the application launcher and asks for an application or URL. If I delete the word sudo I get the menu opened up and get asked which application I want. I asked on the TDE list and was told to set up an con to execute the sudo command, then googled, and got the idea for this from: http://www.raspberry-projects.com/pi/pi-operating-systems/raspbian/gui/desktop-shortcuts but am now completely at sea and am probably asking the wrong questions. I have never been a lover of icons and am not very hot on their creation and use. The user got badly scammed, so I am doing this instead of just reinstalling Windows 7 and letting him get on with it. If I can succeed, this will be much easier for him and MUCH less insecure. Lisi
