The content of the desktop file in use is (my logon username is bosse): [Desktop Entry] Comment=Lazarus IDE 2.0.8 Terminal=false Name=Lazarus 2.0.8 Exec=/home/bosse/dev/lazarus/2.0.8/startlazarus --pcp=/home/bosse/.lazarus_2.0.8 %f Type=Application Icon=/home/bosse/dev/lazarus/2.0.8/images/ide_icon48x48.png Categories=Application;IDE;Development;GTK;GUIDesigner;Programming; NoDisplay=false Keywords=editor;Pascal;IDE;FreePascal;fpc;Design;Designer; This file is visible on the desktop as an icon as well as on the menu subsection "programming". As I said I access the Ubuntu machine via VNC so I can work on it simultaneously as doing other things on Windows. NOTE: I had a problem with the Terminal application, which also does not get the ~/bin dir added to its path even though .profile says so... Turned out (after asking on the ubuntu forum) that the Mate and Gnome Terminal programs both have an Edit/Profile settings where one can set the terminal to "run command as a login shell" When I checked that the terminal after a restart had ~/bin as the first entry in PATH. So I wonder if maybe Lazarus has a similar setting? Or maybe VNC server does? (Of course that is off-topic here, but still if someone "just knows" maybe a global solution might be possible) -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden -- _______________________________________________ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
