I'm still learning about how to make a desktop launcher. I'm trying to make a desktop launcher for the XAMPP Manager (a.k.a. the GUI).
This is the location of the .run file:
/opt/lampp/manager-linux-x64.run
And here's the desktop entry i'm trying to make with the name xampp-gui.desktop :
[Desktop Entry]
Name=XAMPP Control Panel
Comment=Start and Stop XAMPP Services
Exec=sudo /opt/lampp/manager-linux-x64.run
Icon=/opt/lampp/htdocs/favicon.ico
Type=Application
Categories=Programming
Terminal=false
I also have done the chmod +x
to the .run file and the .desktop file.
When i tried to launch it, nothing happens. Perhaps i did any mistake or missing something?
