Broken desktop link [SOLVED]

Post by Jasper »

Hi all

For some reason, I am unable to launch Htop from my menu :oops:

The config file is:

Code: Select all


[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Version=1.0
Name=Htop
GenericName=Process Viewer
Icon=/usr/share/icons/htop.png
Exec=/usr/bin/htop
Terminal=true
Categories=System;
Keywords=system;process;task

Can someone let me know how to "fix" this?

Thanks in advance :thumbup:

@Jasper Try changing the Exec= line to Exec=/usr/bin/urxvt -e htop

Don't know about the other distros, but in slackware htop must be run as a normal usr. I use

Code: Select all

Exec=run-as-spot urxvt -e htop

In BW64 it's

Code: Select all

Exec=htop
Terminal=true
Categories=X-System-process

Tried with your Categories=System; and Htop would vanish from the menu.
Ahhh...no it's there, moved to beginning of the menu.
