Lubuntu Users:
I recently upgraded a Lubuntu 19.10 system to 20.04, and it has
worked so well, I have actually made it my production system.
There were some 'rough edges', but I was able to get around them.
I am using the LXDE desktop with it, for familiarity and
customization reasons.
If I could customize the look-and-feel of the LXQT desktop more, I
might start using that.
But a big thing I notice, is that I have installed software from
the Ubuntu repository (Chromium, for example), yet it doesn't
appear anywhere in the application menu/launcher - not even in the
Debian area.
What do I need to do to make the software I've installed, appear in
the menu?
It is possible I installed the software when I was experimenting
with the LXQT desktop.
I tried re-installing while in the LXDE desktop, but it still
doesn't appear in the menu anywhere.
Hi Aere,
Long time no see :-)
How do you install your program packages? Is Chromium installed as a
snap? And what about the other programs?
When I install mkusb, its desktop files in
/usr/share/applications
will be recognized and added to the menu automatically.
Best regards
Nio
Chromium Web Browser is in /usr/share/applications, yet it doesn't
appear in the menu anywhere.
I can run it using menu...Run...chromium
- Aere
Check if the ownership and permissions of the desktop file are the
same as for the other desktop files that work.
What is the content of the the Exec line in the desktop file? Does it
match what you use manually?
Best regards
Nio
By the way, chromium does appear in the menu, when using the Lubuntu
(LXQT) desktop. It just doesn't appear in the menu on the LXDE desktop.
I tried the following in the LXDE desktop.
I checked the ownership and permissions of chromium-browser in /usr/bin,
and they are the same as things I can execute from the menu.
I purged (completely removed) chromium using the muon package manager,
and removed chromium using Discover (which uses snap packages).
Then I installed it using Discover.
Chromium did not appear in the menu.
I installed chromium using Synaptic Package Manager. It still didn't
appear in the LXDE menu.
I was able to create a link to chromium-browser (in /usr/bin) in the
Desktop folder, so now I at least have a non-typing way of running
chromium on the LXDE desktop.
