Remove Launcher Icon From Desktop

I am using Slackware 14.1, with the KDE desktop environment.

How do I add the option "Empty Trash Bin" to the trash bin icon that is shown in the command line at the bottom of the screen? If I right-click the icon I only see options "Trashcan Settings" (which does not offer what I want!) and "Unlock Widgets".

I currently empty the trash bin by left-clicking on it and using Konqueror.

The Internet connection icon in the notification area of my desktop panel shows the status of my computer's connection to my LAN and hence to the www – at least, it did from the date of first connection, in late 2013, until about December of 2014. It was infallible. Then, shortly before Christmas last year, router trouble on the LAN meant that no Internet service was available for the best part of a week whilst repairs/replacements were effected. Restoration of the LAN brought all four of my computers back on line (1 Linux Mint and 3 Windows XP) Ostensibly nothing had, nor needed to be, changed, as far as net connection addresses were concerned. The XP computers simply picked up where they had left off some days earlier but the Linux machine returned with a disabled LAN connection icon that has remained in that state ever since. Nothing else is affected, I continue to log on and off as normal and enjoy the same network services as before but nothing will now persuade the connection icon to change its disconnected state. If I right click the icon, and then click 'Connection Information', I get, “No valid active connections found,” which is at complete variance with the facts. I have used the 'Edit Connections' option but can find nothing apparently amiss. Wired Connection 1 appears to have retained its previous settings so the loss of function is a bit of a mystery. Anyone got any ideas?

An answer was posted for linuxmint 11 but,in mint 17 the advanced option does not exist in accessories menu. It also is not in apps/nautilus/desktop via gconf-editor all options are checked here but still no trashcan?
Right click does show "Move to Trash" option but I want trashcan icon on desktop for simple drag and drop. It was around in Linux mint 17 but not in 17.1?

Hello Linux users. I'm described as a newbie (which i am) but you've never seen a newbie as new as I am I'll wager.

I installed Zorin 9 OS core as an alternative to Microsoft crap that I'm really tired of, (cost as well as never vending bugs). Yes I know I'll still have bugs with linux but at least the patches and fixes in any Linux distro is for the benefit of Linux users and not to sell more Microsoft crap.

I have evidently been reasonably successful to install the latest Zorin 9 with my desktop environment choice. However I'm used to (and like) the MS so called quick launch bar at the bottom of the XP desktop installation, from which I can place links of any app or web link to instantly go there. Correct me if I'm wrong but Linux has basically the same quick launch function which I can choose from the software center and I've tried to select and install at least 2 named Cairo-dock and Docky for example. I did choose and install those according to the Linux prompts but I notice no change in the "Avant Window Navigator" at the bottom of my desktop, and when i try to drag a web link or app to that bar it either flips back to the link spot i saved on the desktop, or there's no action at all. In other words I am not able to put a link or app on the AWN, which AWN does not serve as a dock launcher at all (except for my Firefox browser icon WHICH IS INSTALLED at the left bar location and does work to quick launch Firefox when I left click on it.

So how do I not only properly install that notorious quck launch app in linux Zorin 9 OS and finally drag or otherwise install my links there?

thanks for any advice or replies.

I am using Ubuntu 14.10, but i think i would have the same question for other Linux oss.

I have downloaded an open source application from Blender.org...at least, i think i have.

How do i verify the app is downloaded

and how do i get it to run, that is, how do i put the app's icon on my desktop?

...thanks,

Hi everyone!

Having read about the latest LibreOffice version, I felt tempted to try it out. I uninstalled the default version on my Ubuntu machine and downloaded the .deb from the LibreOffice site and installed it. The new office has since worked without any trouble.

A few days later I decided to dump Unity and go back to Gnome. So I installed Ubuntu-Gnome-Desktop.

It was then that I noticed two versions of LibreOffice on the application dash (I think, because there are two sets of icons for each office application- see the attached screenshot).

Did Gnome install its own version of LibreOffice with it? Does it really have one? I don't know.

Whichever icon I use to launch the app, the office however always brings up the latest version. So, there's no problem in terms of application errors. As I thought there's no need to have an extra version of an app and eat up my space, I tried to uninstall through Aptitude, but it doesn't 'remove' LibreOffice.

Any advice, please! Thanks in advance.

The Launcher doesn't seem to exist on my Ubunbu v 15. Clocking on the 2nd icon from the top of the menu strip (Dash?) does not show anything about the Launcher. What is Unity and is it important to this problem.
Thanks

Hi guys/gals.

I installed Debian Jessie with LXDE as my default desktop environment, no problems, except I can't play most games. So installed the Meta Package of the Gnome Desktop environment. Everything appeared to be ok, but when I went to reboot, all I get is a black screen.

I went to the Grub and typed in "nomodeset" to get me back to a desktop.
I uninstalled Gnome (not full removal), but still have the same problem.
When I restarted in safety mode, Gnome was still a desktop option that I could load, which I did. I'm confused. Do I need to do a complete removal?

I tried installing the nvidia graphic card driver as per the Debian manual, and that left me with only a root terminal and no GUI.

I've got about 2Gigs of ram and a 2.4 GHz Pentium 3 processor with an ASUS motherboard. (yes, it's a 12 year old computer, but not used for the past few years)

Any help would be great.

Thanks in advance,

Joe
