Desktop shortcut disappear

  • 772

I've created a desktop shortcut for Eclipse by creating a .desktop file in my desktop with the following content

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Eclipse
Exec=/home/blesson/eclipse/eclipse
Icon=/home/blesson/eclipse/icon.xpm
Type=Application

However after rebooting my Ubuntu 15.04 the link has disappeared and I got a system error. Did I do something wrong?

Thanks

    The error has no relate to what have you done before in your shortcut. Instead this may happen for the system and this message box to inform you whether you want to report the error to Canonical or not.

    This is related to a daemon called apport which is responsible for sending those errors. If you want to get rid of this message for future you disable it.

    sudo gedit /etc/default/apport/

    Then change enabled value to 0 instead of 1. so the daemon will be disabled in later reboot.

    Now you can also stop it for this session using service:

    sudo service apport stop
