Create XAMPP Control Panel launcher on the Desktop

[raorafay]

Hi,

I don't know if you've found a fix yet but in case you didn't... I got it working by replacing `sudo -H` with `pkexec`

Thanks @dnaldoog for your config!

Btw my `XAMPP.desktop` looks like this:

#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
StartupWMClass=osxmanager
Terminal=false
Icon[en_US]=/opt/lampp/htdocs/favicon.ico
Name[en_US]=XAMPP
Exec=pkexec /opt/lampp/manager-linux-x64.run
Comment[en_US]=Start XAMPP Control Panel
Name=XAMPP
Comment=Start XAMPP Control Panel
Icon=/opt/lampp/htdocs/favicon.ico

I have got it working in my Ubuntu 18.04 LTS with unity desktop launcher. Please change Exec assignement with following:

Exec=sh -c "pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY sudo /opt/lampp/manager-linux-x64.run"

The solution i found is in the link here.

Hope it helps
