Missing desktop entry in Menu [SOLVED]

[Jasper]

Hi all

Can someone tell me what I need to change in order that this application appears in my Menu options?

Try this:

Thanks for the suggestion

Unfortunately, it does not work for me.

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
Name=GParted
GenericName=Partition Editor
Comment=Create, reorganize, and delete partitions
Exec=/usr/sbin/gparted_shell
Icon=gparted.svg
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=X-SystemMemory
Keywords=Partition;
StartupNotify=true
NoDisplay=true

I think I will try to compile it myself and the overwrite the existing installation.

I should have stated I am using a Development build of Jammypup64 eg

Distro Name: Upup 22.04 (x86_64)

Did you reboot after making the change?

The answer is "No".

I just restarted the Graphical Server.

Not to worry, I have compiled it again and it works fine.

The menu entry places it 'System' , this time round.

Thanks again

The original post and the other post lower down shows that the .desktop file has the line:-
NoDisplay=true
This will cause the program to not show up in the Menu
If you want a Menu entry to be there, either remove the line completely, or change it to:-
NoDisplay=false
Seems unusual for a GUI program to have that line, but I think it may be because Gparted is launched via another GUI script in some Puppies.

@OscarTalks

Thanks for your input.

Having a development OS, I have to expect some bugs to iron out.

It is working/solved now.
