similar to: CentOS 6: add icon to desktop

Hello there, I'm looking at different desktop activity types (in Desktop Settings), and on my CentOS 6, I only have "desktop". No folderview, for instance. Does anybody know how to install/enable other types? Regards, -- wwp -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

On my laptop, I have not been able to get KDE to run; I always get gnome. I installed selecting KDE, and I tried yum groupinstall, which appeared to work, but I still get gnome running. BTW, I boot to level 3, and run startx. Thanks for your suggestions. Mike.

When I install some Win32 application using WINE, it creates associated menu item file for it, located at ~/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs/***Program title***/***Program shortcut.desktop***. Well, inside this file I see option named "Icon", where path to some icon is set. Sometimes this path points to some PNG image file, but sometimes it points to something I don't have a

Hi, My standard Linux desktop is based on a personal blend of CentOS 7 with KDE 4.14 and various add-ons from third-party repositories like EPEL and Nux-Dextop. After a brief stint on OpenSUSE Leap 15.0, this is what I use on my workstation and on my laptop. And this is also what I install on my client's machines, just like I did in our local school's computer room. I'm currently

I have the program 'freecell' in the directory: [john]: 09:28 AM [~/.wine/drive_c/ProgramFiles/Freecell] $ wine freecell will start the program. What do I have to do to create an Icon on the desktop that will start the program? John

On my newly installed CentOS 6 I am running KDE (I think; I selected it in the setup, but how would I know?). It has three default icons: Computer; Root's Home; Trash. I do not see them in /root/Desktop. How can I remove them? Thanks, Mike.

I've written a simple script that does some surveillance analysis on daily counts of walk-in clinic visits, for our county health department. (Actually, Michael Hohle's surveillance package does all the work; I just customized it a little to work with the way our data are recorded.) The output consists of a graph and a little table. My colleague will run it once in a while, on

I've installed Tournament Indicator (poker hand analyser) but instead of the normal program icon, it has assumed the wine default wineglass icon. I know the location of the icon....so how do I assign that icon to the desktop?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 Hi all, I noticed that my Windows application's systray icon no longer docks into my KDE's systray. (Windows application's systray icon shows up as a standalone window now.) This occurred only after my upgrade from rc2 to rc3 just now. Windows application: uTorrent Desktop environment: KDE 3.5.9 (Ubuntu Hardy) I saw that there is a

Congrats on getting 2.15.2 out on schedule. Debian builds have been uploaded. It is my understanding that Phil's patch for the X11 logo -- so promimently featured as the first item in the NEWS file for the release -- offers more when two extra files are supplied. I have supplied these for the Debian test release, for our 2.15.1-* releases and again now. We install these files as

Hi all. I have a simple question: CentOS relies mostly on "yum" to keep systems up to date, although I understand that like on RHEL, "up2date" is also available. On my system I've run both KDE and GNOME as Graphical Desktops under X (though I presently run GNOME), and I've noticed that there is an applet called "CentOS Network Alert Icon" (from the

Hi, I would like set up a Linux desktop icon and menu item that will launch a wine based "Windows desktop". Ideally the "Windows desktop" should look excactlly like a *default* windows 2K/XP desktop. Is this possible ? Has anybody already done so ? Is that already docemented somewhere ? I think this would allow more users to try out wine using the familar windows gui

Hi, I'm running CentOS 7 + KDE on my workstation. Since the latest big batch of updates, Dolphin behaves a bit weirdly. When I download a .zip archive and then right click and "Extract here", the extracted files don't show. I have to hit F5 to refresh the current directory view and display the new files.

Is there some method to use a Windows program icon in Wine? droid

My CentOS box is my server for data and some services, including nfs shares. On my laptop I have folderviews displaying two directories on the server, via nfs mounts. An fstab line mounts each, such as: 192.168.0.40:/home /mnt/borg2_home nfs nosuid,exec,rw,bg,soft,intr 0 0 From the folderview I have no problem accessing the files and directories. Now comes the problem. I use kontact, with

Hi, I'm recently upgraded to samba-3.0.23d from 3.0.21 on an OpenBSD 4.0 server. I'm using folder redirection to redirect the Application Data, Desktop, My Documents, and Favorites folders off to /profiles/username on the server. Two users now have duplicate file icons on their desktops. For example, if there is a file named test.doc in the /profiles/username/Desktop directory on

Hi, I just migrated my workstation running CentOS 7 from KDE to MATE. It looks like I'm having the same problem with the Caja file manager than with Dolphin. Folder contents don't get refreshed automatically, and I have to hit F5. For example, when I download a file (say, a compressed archive) from the Internet, I have to hit F5 to see the file in Caja. And when I extract the archive, I

I learned from Anne that if I boot to level 5, after I enter the username, can select Gnome or KDE. I note that the default is always Gnome. How can I make the default KDE? How can I get KDE with startx after booting to level 3? Thanks, Mike.
