Hi I have checked the message here Problem with .desktop file on desktop but these Solution don't work for me.
I have tried to copy a *.desktop file from /usr/share/applications to my desktop and changed the issue "Allow the applikation to start up" to true and the permissions to "none", but no app want start after I click double onto it.
Here in this case is linux (Zorin OS) more then complicated as windoof for me.
Did you place the copied file in /.local/share/applications?
Did you assign in Permissions by Right click > Permissions?
If you copied a system .desktop file that is located in Root; it may need sudo permissions to execute launching of the application - which still has its program files in Root even if you moved its .desktop Identification File.
I don't know where i find these
/.local/share/applications
. because a
cd /.local/share/applications
don't work in the terminal!
My copied fDesktop file is on /home/ichbinich/Schreibtisch
How is the permissions order for my user? the order
chmod +x /home/ichbinich/Schreibtisch/ocrthypdf_ocrthypdf.desktop
change nothing.
When I make a right click onto
/home/ichbinich/Schreibtisch/
and the file
ocrthypdf_ocrthypdf.desktop
then it shows me the option open as application and a terminal open nad then the program starts.
But this should be go more smoothly or easier or not?
The dot infront means it's hidden. You can set Nautilus to see hidden files.
It's cd ~/.local/share/applications
When I search in the software catalog Nautilus I find only Nautilus scripts manager and "Dateien" where in the terminal is called nautilus.
with
cd ~/.local/share/applications
I see only few appications but not the one I would like to open.
should I copy the desktop file that I wanna to open as user from
/usr/share/applications to ~/.local/share/applications
?
In nautilus I may not open the direction
~/.local/share/applications
easy is what another for me
Nautilus is the Files Manager - simply calles ''Files'' (or in german ''Dateien'').
Yes, You can use this Terminal command for this, but You have to make it with sudo so it should be:
sudo cp /usr/share/applications/ocrthypdf_ocrthypdf.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/
