I installed gns3 with dpkg, and was able to add a fav icon. Later I found out I needed to uninstall gns3 and install an older version. I was able to uninstall the dpkg version and install the older version. I added the older version to my path and am able to execute it directly from terminal and it works. However I am not able to add a fav icon.
After I installed the version I needed I checked in ~/.local/share/applications and found a gns3.desktop file. I cant tell if this was from the first version I installed with dpkg, or the older version I installed after.
Either way, this Icon refuses to show up when I search in the Show Applications button. It does not show in my fav either.
Here is what the file looks like
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Exec=gns3 %f
Name=GNS3
Comment=GNS3 Graphical Network Simulator
Icon=gns3
Categories=Education;Network;
MimeType=application/x-gns3;application/x-gns3appliance;application/x-gns3project;
Keywords=simulator;network;netsim;
I have not changed anything yet on it, I am more curious why it does not show up. Do I need to refresh something on Ubuntu for it to appear? "gns3" IS in my path, and I can reach it. I also tried copying this file to /usr/share/applications, but still it refuses to show up
Why can I not see this icon?
I am running Ubuntu 20.04 with Gnome.
