I've tried renaming Desktop/jqt9.4.desktop to Desktop/jqt9dot4.desktop but that doesn't seem to work. I've logged out and back, but I'll try rebooting. I don't know the manager for certain though I think it's gnome -- I've never tried to change it.

Your 9.4 file looks fine.

I'm guessing your desktop manager does not like the name with the extra dot.

What Desktop manager are you running?

Try renaming the Desktop/jqt9.4.desktop to replace the . with dot.

Yes, I ran the last steps.

Looking at my desktop listing, I find various files such as
jqt903.desktop and jqt9.4.desktop (I have run the shortcut_pacman_).

One difference is that the 903 file is

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Name=jqt903
Exec="/home/jph/j903/bin/jqt"
Path=/home/jph
Icon=/home/jph/j903/bin/icons/jgreen.png

while the 9.4 file is

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Name=jqt9.4
Exec="/home/jph/j9.4/bin/jqt"
Path=/home/jph
Icon=/home/jph/j9.4/bin/icons/jgreen.png

But when I view the 9.4 file the ".4" of /9.4/ is greyed out. Maybe a
problem with the . in the file name?

I assume you did the last steps to finish the install as that is where
the
icons are created.

You could try manually creating the launch icons. Might not work, but
could
give hints to the problem.

     load'pacman'
     shortcut_jpacman_'jc' NB. 'jhs' and 'jqt'

I have just reinstalled j9.4 on my Dell XPS13 laptop running linux -
Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS.

The install seemed normal. I can start and run J with a "j9.4/bin/jqt &"
command. But the J icons never appeared on the desktop as they have in
the past. Any pointers on what went wrong and how to fix it?

Thanks,

Patrick
