How do I create an application starter on the Ubuntu Desktop? Today, this problem can be difficult for me for a while, but I still find a solution.

First, the program is divided into two types: one is the built-in program of the system, and the other is the program installed by the user later. No matter what kind of program, Their starters are put in the/usr/share/applications directory. So what we need to do is copy the program initiator to the desktop.

In the past, the system has direct executable permissions for copying built-in programs (sometimes the default software upgrade may also lead to the loss of the Libreoffice shown in the executable permissions ). So you can use these programs to copy the initiator to the desktop.

However, the user-installed program cannot be opened after being copied and double-clicked. You will see a message similar to the following:

How can this problem be solved? Below is a simple and feasible method:

First, use the command sudo nautilus on the terminal to open the file manager with the root permission. Enter this command and then enter the password to confirm. A Directory window will pop up, and then we will find the directory: /usr/share/applications

Find the program to be modified, right-click Properties> permission> select allow program execution files

Finally, copy the program initiator to the desktop (make sure to copy it, or the Dash homepage will not display the program icon normally ).

Tips: In addition, some users said they could pull the program icon directly to the desktop on the Dash homepage, but this method is useless after testing. This can only fix the program to the left sidebar.
