Hi
I'm trying to make some changes on Ubuntu's main menu but failing miserably. I want to change the command that runs when I click on the skype button. At the moment, there's only
skype
but I want to change it for
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype
However, when I do it, I get an error. The error is in portuguese but I think in English it would be something like "Failed to execute child process "LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so" (No such file or directory). I though the error could be related with having to use quotes. I tried
"LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype"
'LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype'
But still get the error. I have no problem when I run it from a terminal
