Ubuntu12.04 does not add a desktop starter (similar to the desktop shortcut function in Windows) by right-clicking the desktop as before (the ubuntu system earlier than 10.10 creates a folder shortcut on the desktop ).

You can use the command line to install the file, but there will still be issues such as permissions (eg: ln-s/usr/share/application/home/xxxx/Desktop /)

Here are two convenient and convenient methods:

I,

1. Click the system button next to the user name in the upper-right corner of the desktop (where the switch is enabled)

2. Select "Start application"

3. Select "add" in the startup preferences"

4. The add Startup Program dialog box is displayed as before.

5. After setting the name and command (PATH), click "add" to add the initiator to the list.

6. Select the new starter and drag it to the desktop.

7. Right-click the new starter and select Properties. On the permission tab, select -- run: Allow program execution files

8. Click the icon in the basic tab to set the desktop icon of the starter (some do not)

II,

1. Drag the icon directly to the place where you want to see the link (such as the desktop). Do not open the mouse and hold down the Alt key (for example, hold down the Alt key to drag the window by default)
3. Open the link and select [Create link here] from the menu.
