Hi, all,
New to 14.04.1, created a desktop launcher at ~/Desktop (tried ~/.local/share/applications) as:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Name[en_US]=my_gui
Exec=/bin/run_my_gui.sh
StartupNotify=true
Right-click the launcher icons and set properties > Permissions > Execute as "Allow executing file as program"
While I can run /bin/run_my_gui.sh from termianl without any issue (it's a gui executable), double clicking the launcher from desktop or from unity search brings a busy cursor but the application doesn't run at all.
I've tried "gnome-desktop-item-edit" utility, launcher created by such behaves the same.
Thanks for reading
