In Ubuntu, open an installed software, and right-click the icon opened on the Launcher to lock the software to the starter or unlock it from the starter.
However, there are a lot of software that can be directly decompressed after downloading and can be used without installation. In this case, when the above method is used to lock the timing, it will often fail, or it may seem that it has been locked, however, if you want to open it again, it does not respond, or the icon is not a familiar software Icon, but some default icons. This is because this type of software lacks a configuration file named Desktop Entry. The following describes how to add the file by yourself. Take Sublime Text 2 as an example.
1. Open the terminal, find the applications directory, and enter sudoGedit sublime-text.desktop
2. Edit and save the following in open gedit.
= UTF-8 = 2.0 =/home/ntt/software/SublimeText2/Icon/48x48/sublime_text.pngName = Sublime Text 2 =/home/ntt/software/SublimeText2/Icon/ 48x48/sublime_text.pngName [zh_CN] = Sublime Text 2 =/home/ntt/software/SublimeText2/sublime_text % F
3. Open sublime, right-click the initiator, and lock
OK, so that the software can be successfully locked on the starter.
