Self build executable can only be executed via context menu "run as a program"
I am using Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS
I have created an executable using pyinstaller and copied it to the desktop. The problem is that it does not open when double-clicked.
However, if you open the desktop as a folder, it will double-click and run.
Also, right-clicking it on the desktop and selecting "run as program" works. Is there a way to make it run when double-clicked on the desktop?
ll returns the following:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 mygroup myuser 239950848 Jul 3 15:42 test*
First, try running it from the command line. I guess that will work. Then try adding a .desktop file to your desktop to start it. See https://github.com/shundhammer/qdirstat/blob/master/src/qdirstat.desktop for an example.
