Re: [Trisquel-users] Executable script won't execute in panel

I can agree with the principle, but i think it's silly to have more lines in the license than the script itself... I will probably go with the do what the fuck you want license :P

Re: [Trisquel-users] Executable script won't execute in panel

GNUser said: "anyone feel free to use my script it you need/like it :)" I know that's a small script, but it's a good habit adding a free license to it https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-recommendations.html

Re: [Trisquel-users] Executable script won't execute in panel

Thanks to everyone who replied! Well, I am not sure what happened, I tried lembas' suggestion, bash -c /path/to/script, and it gave me an error, I went around a few tries and eventually got it to work. For someone going through the same: I think the problem is I hadn't made the script

Re: [Trisquel-users] Executable script won't execute in panel

Not really. It runs the script when I double click the file, but if I drag the file to the lower panel, creating a "shrotcut", clicking it will just open gedit. I can't believe I will really have to put my scripts into a specific folder in linux (which I forgot which one, will have to

Re: [Trisquel-users] Executable script won't execute in panel

Re: [Trisquel-users] Executable script won't execute in panel

Thanks for the help. Indeed, I am using the standard Trisquel DE, gnome 3 fallback mode. I just right clicked the script file, permissions, allow this to be run as executable. But I can only execute it from the terminal. If i double click it or try to use it from a launcher, it opens in gedit.
