| Olotila | How do I create a shortcut to Gnome 3 Activities menu? | 19:40 |
| Olotila | btsync for example, in folder ~/Progs/btsync | 19:41 |
| jbicha | Olotila: I think you'll need to create a .desktop and put it in ~/.local/share/applications/ | 19:43 |
| jbicha | although this is written for developers, it may help: | 19:43 |
| jbicha | https://developer.gnome.org/integration-guide/stable/desktop-files.html | 19:43 |
| Olotila | yeah | 19:44 |
| Olotila | in case of btsync, what would the file look like? When I run it from terminal, it just informs its running and ip | 19:45 |
| Olotila | [Desktop Entry] | 19:46 |
| jbicha | Terminal=true | 19:46 |
| jbicha | maybe, I don't use btsync | 19:47 |
| Olotila | Exec=~/Progs/btsync | 19:47 |
| Olotila | will that be enough? | 19:47 |
| Olotila | two lines | 19:47 |
| jbicha | no, I think you need Name and Type at least | 19:48 |
| jbicha | if you just want btsync to automatically run in the background, you do the same thing but put your .desktop in ~/.config/autostart/ | 19:49 |
| jbicha | or maybe try http://blog.bittorrent.com/2016/02/18/official-linux-packages-for-sync-now-available/ | 19:53 |
| Olotila | [Desktop Entry] | 20:00 |
| Olotila | Name=btsync | 20:00 |
| Olotila | Exec==~/Progs/btsync | 20:01 |
| Olotila | Icon==~/Progs/btsync | 20:01 |
| Olotila | Type=Application | 20:01 |
| Olotila | Terminal=true | 20:01 |
| Olotila | Categories=Utility; | 20:01 |
| Olotila | nothing appears in Activities menu | 20:01 |
| Olotila | .desktop file is in .local/share/applicatioins | 20:02 |
| Olotila | I do not want to autorun it | 20:02 |
| jbicha | skip the Categories line, GNOME puts Utilities in a separate folder named Utilities by default | 20:03 |
| Olotila | so far I run the command ./Progs/btsync when I need it | 20:03 |
| Olotila | feels stupid to always type that | 20:03 |
| Olotila | ok | 20:03 |
| Olotila | does not appear still | 20:04 |
| jbicha | maybe type Alt+F2 and enter r | 20:08 |
| jbicha | to reload gnome-shell | 20:08 |
| jbicha | and maybe leave the Icon line out too for now | 20:09 |
| Olotila | reload did not help | 20:10 |
| jbicha | I don't know then, you can try askubuntu.com | 20:10 |
| Olotila | Yeah, thanks for trying to help, jbicha | 20:13 |
| zero_coder | hi , what version of linux kernel, ubuntu-gnome uses? | 20:43 |
| jbicha | zero_coder: https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=ubuntugnome | 20:46 |
| zero_coder | jbicha, its 4.4 , pretty old | 20:47 |
| zero_coder | :| | 20:48 |
| jbicha | not really, 4.6 wasn't released yet when Ubuntu 16.04 was | 20:53 |
| jbicha | and 4.4 is a Long Term Support kernel which is a pretty good choice | 20:53 |
| jbicha | https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html | 20:53 |
| zero_coder | jbicha, but skylake is having issues with it . | 20:54 |
| zero_coder | unluckly , i am having a skylake cpu | 20:54 |
| jbicha | you could try https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds but those are generally unsupported | 20:55 |
| zero_coder | jbicha, thanks. i'll brb , just need to reboot | 20:56 |
| Techspectre | Hello! I'm on Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 and I see there's now an option to make a wifi hotspot. I activate it, but I can't see a hotspot on other devices. Is there something special I need to do? | 22:01 |
| satysin | sup all | 22:03 |
