How to create launch icons on Ubuntu Desktop?
- by MattSlay
I installed Ubuntu in a VM using VirtualBox, and after a few hours of Googling all the things I had to install and configure for the rest of the environment, I am finally up and running with a Ruby on Rails IDE and have MySql up and running.
After I start up the Ubuntu VM, I have to go to a terminal window and do this to start MySql:
/etc/init.d/mysql start
So that works fine, but, since I am such a GUI person, I’m wondering how I can create an icon on the Ubuntu Desktop that I can click on to launch this command.
Can you tell me how to do that?
