Hi, not sure if this is a Spyder issue or a Ubuntu issue, but let's give it a try here first.
I have freshly installed Ubuntu 18.04 and Anaconda (with Python 3.7) in my laptop, and I'm now trying to set up a launch icon for Spyder - something I've done many times in the past couple of years when running Ubuntu 16. I can successfully run Spyder from the Terminal and it seems to be working fine, but when I run it from the terminal and right-click the icon, it does not give me an option for adding it to Favorites. It seems I can manually add an icon for it by creating a .desktop file for it, as described here <https://askubuntu.com/questions/967409/cant-add-custom-desktop-files-to-ubuntu-dock> and here <https://askubuntu.com/questions/990833/cannot-add-custom-launcher-to-dock-add-to-favorites>; I tired that, but Spyder does NOT show up in Applications after creating the .desktop files. In fact, I get a generic "There was an error launching the application" message when double-clicking the .desktop file. I even tried using the "spyder.desktop" file in the Spyder Github, but to no avail. Is this a known issue with Spyder and Ubuntu 18? Does anyone knows how to sort this out? As usual, many thanks for the great job and the wonderful support! :) Kind Regards - Fabio -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "spyder" group.
