You may recall I mentioned a version of the file-sharing client, Soulseek, for Linux a few weeks ago, called Nicotine. I've got the unpacked folder sitting on my desktop right now, but simply clicking the .exe file within, marked 'Nicotine', doesn't bring up a functional user interface, just one which is mainly blank field. Elsewhere in the folder is an INSTALL instruction, as follows:
"Linux/Unix installation instructions follow. To install Nicotine, from the source tree run: python setup.py install --prefix=<dir> If you omit --prefix Nicotine will be installed into the python system directory (typically /usr) This is not recommended however, as there is no way to uninstall things easily this way. The recommended way of running Nicotine is from the source tree, which might seem strange, but is no problem at all, especially if you are the only user of the system that is interested in running Nicotine. From the source tree run: python ./nicotine" The folder is right now located on my desktop, and I would like to have it where all my other applications are, but launchable from the desktop panel via an icon. Please tell me what exactly to put into the terminal. Should I change "<dir>" to "/etc", which I think is the normal place for applications, or something like that? -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
