Picard icon doesn't appear

don't be root and use nano (or something even more masochistic) to edit.

the .desktop file does not specify which DE it belongs to.
wild guess:
maybe gnome classic puts ONLY gnome applications in its menu.
you can copy the .desktop file to ~/.local/share/applications - use the command line folr this, keep the filename identical - and edit it to include a specific DE (look at other .desktop files to see what i mean).

DE=Desktop Entry?

Code: Select all

 Fichero: /home/ventolero/.local/share/applications/picard.desktop             

[Desktop Entry]

yes DE=desktop entry, probably meant Desktop Environment

If it does not show up in whatever, it might be a bug .desktop files are pretty reliable, but it could happen. If you check the bug reports for the pkg that installed the .desktop file, and find it is not a known bug, it it might help others who have the same issue if you can find a way to alter the .desktop file for the app, you can include that fix in the bug report.

Deblib, you aren't really doing anything to solve your problem.
you're just dumping more output on us.
i'm pretty sure my advice so far specified actions to be taken.

...for instance, find another .desktop file that does work, alter the bad one to look like it.
