Cabbage on Linux (Ubuntu) does not install any desktop entries

#1

Hello,

I switched to Linux (Ubuntu), downloaded Cabbage from this website and ran installCabbage.sh. Cabbage does not show up in the start menu and is not found via the plasma search (alt+space). I can start it by going to /usr/bin/ and executing the binary. It appears that the install script did not install the desktop entry for cabbage. I wanted to install it manually, but the folder ‘desktop’ in the downloaded files is empty.

Is there any way to resolve this?

Not until I get to Linux machine and see what the story is. That’ll be next Monday at the earliest though…

I get some error about Cabbage.desktop, but after I install I can access Cabbage from the file menu :thinking:

Is the desktop folder in the downloaded zip file supposed to be empty? Because it is for me. Which means this part in the install script never runs 0 times because there are 0 files in the downloaded desktop directory:

install -d "$desktop_path"
for file in "$build_path"/desktop/*; do
  install -m644 "$file" "$desktop_path"
  echo "installing $file to $desktop_path"
done
