Try installing an app or two from the repos. The app installation process typically refreshes the icon cache.

It should be trivial to pack two files and create a deb. Not a bad idea to start off a first maemo dev project.

thanks Archebyte,
my icons didn't show up until I installed a new app. now they are glowing on my desktop.

Now if i could run WOL SSH and RDP all from the same icon (app.desktop file) I will be set.
Can anyone tell me how to run 2 commands in the terminal from one app.desktop file?

Code:
Exec=/usr/bin/osso-xterm 'ssh -l root myip.com -p 22 /usr/sbin/wol -i 192.100.1.255 00:X3:18:F1:86:A1'

Exec=/usr/bin/osso-xterm 'ssh -l root -L 3389:192.100.1.1:3389 myip.com -p 22'

Exec=/usr/bin/osso-xterm 'ssh -l root -L 3389:192.100.1.1:3389 myip.com -p 22'
I would suggest putting the two (or more) commands in a script for e.g. /home/user/myscript.sh
Code:
/usr/bin/osso-xterm 'ssh -l root myip.com -p 22 /usr/sbin/wol -i 192.100.1.255 00:X3:18:F1:86:A1' &
/usr/bin/osso-xterm 'ssh -l root -L 3389:192.100.1.1:3389 myip.com -p 22' &
Note the '&'. make the script executable
Code:
chmod a+x /home/user/myscript.sh
and call it from the .desktop file
Code:
Exec=/home/user/myscript.sh
clicking the app shortcut will launch the two X-Terminal sessions.

I was highlighting the '&' sign after the ssh commands. Its important to use it for executing the second ssh command.

after putting the two commands in /home/user/myscript.sh, open a terminal and change the permission of the file to make it executable using the above command.

Slightly OT question: Is there any place where the coordinates of the various desktop icons are stored, that could be edited? I would like to manually adjust the x- and y-coordinates of for instance bookmark desktop items to align them properly.

Hi,

I've used this to run a little python script I've created in xterm. It works well. A couple of questions perhaps somebody could hlp with:

1) How do I get xterm to open maximised? I can't really find any extension to do this.
2) Anyway to keep the terminal open after the script completes? At the moment I have a raw_input("") at the end of my script - any way to remove this and get it to drop back into the terminal without closing it?

Hope you can help.

Cheers,

Wizbowes

i know it would be much easier to grasp once i get a linux box
Why not just load up a Linux distro in a VM??
