    Hello everybody,

    I was super excited to see one of my favorite maemo game. NumptyPhysics on the N900 app list; but when I download and install the game, I don't see it anywhere on the N900.

    Am I missing some other required installs or is this an known error for everybody?

    Any comments or suggestions will be helpful.

    If I am making a re-post of something that was already said, please let me know how I can contact the moderator to delete this thread.

    Thanks!

    Same thing here, i had it installed and actually forgot about it haha... and launching it from the CLI doesn't seem to make it properly fit on the screen.

    run xterm and type numptyphysics


    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    to make shortcut to app:




    On the N900, it is possible to run a terminal program like ‘top’ directly from the Desktop/Shortcut. substitue numptyphysics for #APPNAME#


    1. Use a text-editor to create a file with the following text:


    [Desktop Entry]
    Encoding=UTF-8
    Version=0.1
    Type=Application
    Terminal=true
    Name=#APPNAME#
    Exec=/usr/bin/osso-xterm #APPNAME#
    Icon=
    X-Window-Icon=
    X-HildonDesk-ShowInToolbar=true
    X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable


    2. Save the file as "#APPNAME#.desktop"

    3. As root, copy the file to the ‘/usr/share/applications/hildon/’ directory. This will create an ugly blue application icon in the Application list.

    4. To change icon:

    1. Find/create a PNG image of dimension 48×48
    2. Name the file #APPNAME#.png
    3. Save file to /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48×48/hildon/ (you will need root access)
    4. Modify the "#APPNAME#.desktop" file to include the following line. The right side should be the name of file without the .png

    Save .desktop file and reboot to see the icon for the shortcut in the Application Menu.
    If the icon does not show up, install a couple of apps from the Application Manager. This should update the icon-cache and display it.

    Instead of writing workaround instructions on this forum, why not provide these instructions to the numptyphysics developers and ask them to update the package?

    I bet it works like a charm =) But im sure the developers would want to know about this so that they can include it to the package itself

    Just to make things easy for everyone.

    Looking forward to trying this myself btw!
