I'm using Lubuntu 20.04, (almost) freshly installed.
I've succesfully created few .desktop
entries in ~/.local/share/applications/
for wine applications. However, there is one wine app which I would like to prevent from connecting to the internet. So I used an approach with no-internet group
.
From .desktop
entry, wine "~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Folder/executable"
works well.
From terminal, sg no-internet wine "~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Folder/executable"
works well. From terminal, gtk-launch appname.desktop
containing the latter command in Exec
works well. But from menu it does not launch: no errors, no messages, nothing. I also tried sg no-internet -c 'wine "~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Folder/executable"'
and creating a .sh
script, but the former does not even launch with gtk-launch
with error no application appname
, the latter also fails with sh: 0: could not open appname-launcher.sh
.
How does one configure a .desktop
file to launch something with sg
? Why does gtk-launch
launchs command and menu entry not?
The appname.desktop
has permissions 777 (just in case).
