loading blender

[JD1994]

due to issues with god knows what, when i load blender i am forced to load with a command line, i.e "john@john-desktop:~$ LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 blender-bin"

is there a way that i don't have to do this and when i click on 'applications>graphics>Blender' it will run the command line mentioned above automaticly?
Cheers

Alt+F2 and type alacarte

its a menu editor.....in graphicsection right click blender icon > properties > in Type select application in terminal on that dropdown menu...

Or just right click on the menu and select "edit menus", which will run alacarte.

that still doesnt fix the issue, because it then loads blender like normal and doesnt run the command line that i mentioned above!

y.....?

worked 100% sure....perhaps you didn't get that

its is the same as you typing in terminal blender....what is happening there is ....terminal open first and executing cammand blender.....so simple

command line, i.e "john@john-desktop:~$ LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 blender-bin"

that command line 'LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 blender-bin' runs blended in a different way from just using the 'blender' line.

but when i start up blender it loads from the terminal but with Command line 'blender' not the one mentioned before
i need it so it runs the command mentioned before
understand?
