Wandora http://www.wandora.org/wiki/Download ,followed by an appropriate tar unpacking of the file from the Download URL, has a .sh file for execution under Linux. Within MATE, from a MATE terminal, the file executes. Using MATE Caja, and pointing and clicking on the sh file, then Run in Terminal, wandora runs. However, when I Create Launcher on the desktop, using Application in Terminal from the pull down menu therein, and using the same sh file, a terminal appears for a moment, closes, and wandora does not run. Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS, MATE current. A reply requested my desktop launcher file contents; these are pasted below (although a paste has resulted in a truncated line that should read Exec=/home/ykarant/wandora/wandora-20171012/bin/Wandora.sh ) :
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=true
Icon=/home/ykarant/icons-mine/wandora.ico
Icon[en_US]=/home/ykarant/icons-mine/wandora.ico
Name[en_US]=Wandora
Exec=/home/ykarant/wandora/wandora-20171012/bin/Wandora.sh
Name=Wandora
output for the other questions:
~/Desktop$ ls -la Wandora.desktop -rwxrwxr-x 1 ykarant ykarant 242 Nov 10 16:51 Wandora.desktop
What else needs to be configured so that the Launcher Run in Terminal will behave the same as Caja Application in terminal? Note that all of the other desktop execution configuration files -- that do function -- are in Desktop in my home director. Is there an apt install or Snaps application that has the same (or better) functionality than Wandora?
