Create ubuntu Desktop shortcuts

The ubuntu desktop shortcut was created today with ubuntu, and suddenly twenty, it feels awkward and inconvenient. The startup Button cannot be found for newly installed applications. every time you open a software application, you need to find the start button. it is okay during ubuntu 11, especially when ubuntu 12.04 is created.
Today I use ubuntu and suddenly twenty. it feels awkward and inconvenient. The startup Button cannot be found for newly installed applications. every time you open a software package, you need to find the start button. it is okay during ubuntu11, especially when it comes to ubuntu12.04. As a result, I want to quickly install the software I often use on the desktop. Method 1: Enter the/usr/share/applications Directory. there is a graphical shortcut for all programs. you can copy the shortcut directly to the desktop. Method 2: command: gnome-desktop-item-edit 1gnome-polictop-item-edit ~ /Desktop/-- create-new
The above interface appears, where you can write the program Name and Comment, for example, start chrome. The most important thing is that many people do not know what to write. Here is a method: Enter the directory/usr/share/applications/under the terminal, which is all. A file with the suffix desktop is actually a program shortcut command. Then, use the ls command to match the regular expression to search for your own program, then, just remove the obtained result and enter the suffix in Command. here is an example. 01ubuntu @ ubuntu :~ $ Cd/usr/share/applications/02ubuntu @ ubuntu:/usr/share/applications $ ls03activity-log-manager-ccpanel.desktop gnome-panel.desktop mount-archive.desktop04alacarte.desktop gnome-power-panel.desktop nautilus-autorun-software.desktop05apport-gtk-mime.desktop gnome-power-statistics.desktop nautilus. desktop06apturl. desktop gnome-printers-panel.desktop nautilus-folder-handler.desktop07avant-window-navigator.desktop gnome-region-panel.desktop nautilus-home.desktop08awn-settings.desktop gnome-screen-panel.desktop nm-applet.desktop09bamf.index gnome-screenshot.desktop nm-connection-editor.desktop10baobab.desktop gnome-sound-nua-panel.desktop onboard. desktop11bluetooth-properties.desktop gnome-sound-panel.desktop onboard-settings.desktop12bluetooth-sendto.desktop orca. desktop13bluetooth-wizard.desktop gnome-sudoku.desktop palimpsest. search for chrome browser 1ubuntu @ ubuntu:/usr/share/applications $ ls chrome2ls: cannot access chrome: No such file or directory3ubuntu @ ubuntu: /usr/share/applications $ ls * chrome * 4google-chrome.topics top5ubuntu @ ubuntu:/usr/share/applications $
There is another way to verify whether the Command you entered is correct. because this Command is actually a shell Command, you can directly copy your Command to the terminal and how to start the program, it indicates that the Command is correct, otherwise, it is wrong.
