Add Ubuntu GUI software icon to Scope

baruchiro

Hi, I'm new to Ubuntu Touch, but be sure that when I get into depth I'll be useful.

My question is, let's say I installed software with a user interface, through the terminal. For example Synaptic (package manager).

Now, I've manually added a new .desktop file to the ~/.local/share/applications folder, with the following line:

Exec=synaptic # or Exec=sudo synaptic

If I didn't add the sudo command, I have a Synaptic window that says I don't have permissions. That is, you can view a user interface.
But after, the software falls off. Likewise, if I add the sudo command, the program immediately falls off without a graphical display.

Is it possible to run programs designed for Ubuntu Desktop without Libertine?
If so, what is the right way to do this?

Simple answer to your question: no.

You can install programs in the Terminal using the libertine-container-manager commands.
Documentation on how to do this is at http://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/userguide/dailyuse/libertine.html
and https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man1/libertine-container-manager.1.html
