Applications not available to add to launch bar

Post by China Diapers »

Hi,

I am using Lubuntu.

I am attempting to add further applications to my application launch bar, but these are not available for selection.

There is also an application displayed under "installed applications" which I have removed, so it seems the dialogue to add apps to the launch bar is not updated.

Any idea?

Which applications are you trying to add and did you use the repositories to install them?

Interesting question. I am trying to add RssOwl and Evernote. Evernote is installed via Wine and RssOwl, well I can't remember how I installed that but it was not via the repositories.

But....I see stuff in the that I have removed ages ago, Liferea for example, so it seems that something is not syncing correctly.

RssOwl is a java program. Java and Wine programs do not automatically appear on menus. So you will have to do a little work :o ! See http://lxlinux.com for guides.

Work! I ditched Arch and came back to Lubuntu to avoid work :)

Thank for the info
