Re: [9fans] Desktop File for Acme [plan9port]
You can try a bash script instead for rc. It works in my case.

Re: [9fans] Desktop File for Acme [plan9port]
This works for me:
$ cat ~/.local/share/applications/acme.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Categories=Development
Name=Acme
Comment=
Exec=/home/fhs/bin/sh/acmestart
Icon=/usr/local/plan9/mac/spaceglenda.png
Path=/home/fhs
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=false

[9fans] Desktop File for Acme [plan9port]
I'm trying to set up a desktop entry so I can launch acme w/o opening a
spare terminal. So far I have this in the entry:
```
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Exec=/home/parker/bin/acme.rc &
Terminal=true
Name=Acme
Icon=/usr/local/plan9/mac/spaceglenda.png
```
And the executable file is:
```
#!/usr/bin/env rc
TERM=dumb
plumber
fn cd { builtin cd $1 && awd $sysname }
tabstop=4
#font='/mnt/font/Lucida Grande/15a/font'
#font='/mnt/font/Roboto Regular/14a/font'
#font='/mnt/font/Noto Sans/13a/font'
lfont=/mnt/font/UnifontMedium/10a/font
font=$lfont
SHELL=rc
exec acme -a -f $font -F $lfont $*
```
The script works when I launch it in a terminal. But I can't figure out
why it isn't working via the desktop entry. I had `terminal` set to
false before and it didn't work. But when I set it to true, I see a
terminal screen flicker for a moment before it vanishes again. Anyone
here have any luck with doing this?
