Duh !!
Thank you, that works.

i'm still not sure what that application launchbar is. is it lxpanels app menu? because that doesn't have any edit options iirc. If you right-click on the taskbar (lxpanel's window) and click Add/Remove Panel Items, you get a window containing the plugins you already have in your taskbar, one (or m...

Thanks for those links. I tried "lxpanelctl restart" which seems like the thing I was missing, and the lxpanel did fresh itself, Ubuntu had a temporary hiccup, but carried on OK. It didn't fix the problem though. lxmed shows a category "Other", which doesn't appear in my Main Men...

I run Lubuntu 13.04, lxpanel 0.5.12, plus a number of KDE apps including Dolphin. There is a folder /usr/share/applications/kde4/ which contains the KDE apps' .desktop files, and that all works OK. Its the .desktop files in /usr/share/applications/ that I have created myself that are not being added...

As I understand it, the applications listed in the right panel of Application Launch Bar > Edit come from scanning /usr/share/applications/*.desktop and sorting the entries into a tree based on the .desktop file's Categories= line. But when I add a .desktop file with "Categories=Accessories;&qu...

After a successful reboot, the lxpanel button now works, including mounting the network share. I say successful reboot because I haven't had a clean reboot for a while, something is causing Ubuntu to have a system crash that it appears to recover from OK. Is a reboot a necessary part of rebuilding t...

I have tried lots of variations of Exec= , but thanks for those other options - I will try them. My app reads a mounted network share, but in case it's not mounted, it tries to mount it. So it needs a password for 'sudo mount ...' and it needs a password for the network share. That's why it is seems...

No,it doesn't appear in Menu > Accessories or in Application Launch Bar editor.
In Dolphin file manager it has the same owner (root) and permissions (-rw-r--r--) as all the other *.desktop .
Double-clicking myapp.desktop in Dolphin works OK.

Lubuntu 13.04, lxpanel 0.5.12 I have written a GUI application using wxPHP, that I can launch OK from lxterminal: php ~/path/to/file.wxphp but I want to launch it from lxpanel's Application Launch Bar. So I created /usr/share/applications/myapp.desktop : ====== [Desktop Entry] Name=My-App Exec=lxter...

Thanks - I have lxpanel 0.5.12, but no temperatures are shown as hints when the visible temperature is -273. /sys/class/thermal/ has 5 symlinks to "cooling_device*", but as this is a fanless system they have no useful information. Psensor can see Core 0, Core 1, temp1, temp2, temp3, and fa...
