virtual box Ubuntu 20.4 CCS desktop icon not showing

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

Hello,

i have been using CCS on windows platform and it has been working fine.

lately, i am trying to do linux development and tried to run ubuntu on virtual box on my window machine.

i followed the CCS link https://software-dl.ti.com/ccs/esd/documents/ccs_linux_host_support.html to install the CCS v11.

after installation, i can start ccsv11 from %commandPrompt: /home/<myname>/ti/ccs1110/ccs/eclipse/ccstudio &

this command line starting worked fine.

however, there is no icon on my ubuntu desktop.  can you please let me know why?

i found a desktop batch file at /ti/ccs1110/ but not sure why there is no desktop icon to double click.  this is the first issue.

the second issue is that i can not execute this desktop file even after changing to 777 mode.

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Version=0.9.4
Name=Code Composer Studio 11.1.0
Comment=Code Composer Studio 11.1.0.00011
Icon=/home/hdnhouston/ti/ccs1110/ccs/doc/ccs.ico
Exec=/home/hdnhouston/ti/ccs1110/ccs/eclipse/ccstudio
Terminal=false

it reports the following error if i run the desktop file from command line:

hdnhouston@hdnhouston:~/ti/ccs1110$ ./Code\ Composer\ Studio\ 11.1.0.desktop
./Code Composer Studio 11.1.0.desktop: line 1: [Desktop: command not found
./Code Composer Studio 11.1.0.desktop: line 4: Composer: command not found
./Code Composer Studio 11.1.0.desktop: line 5: Composer: command not found

can someone please help me figuring out what happened here?

Thanks,

henry

    Yes, I noticed that also. I see several CCS 10.x desktop shortcuts on my Ubuntu 20.04 machine, but none for CCS 11.x. I think there is some issue with Ubuntu 20.04 and specific shortcuts. I'll need to investigate further.

    In the meantime, I was able to successfully create a CCS 11.1.0 desktop shortcut by following the steps under "Create a desktop application shortcut launcher manually" in the below link:

    https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-create-desktop-shortcut-launcher-on-ubuntu-20-04-focal-fossa-linux

    I basically created a new empty *.desktop file on my desktop and copied the contents of the *.desktop file in /ti/ccs1110 into the new one. Then I used the option to "Allow Launching" and that was it.

    Thanks
