Menu entry does not execute application?? [SOLVED]

#1 Post by chrome307 »

For some reason I cannot seem to run Htop from my menu ( Lucid 528-005 ).

Here is my desktop file:

Code: Select all


[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Htop Process Viewer
Icon=/usr/local/lib/X11/mini-icons/htop24.png
Comment=Htop Process Viewer
Exec=htop
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=System
GenericName=Htop

Any help/advice/tips ..... better still a solution :D would be welcome!!
