If this should be in a different formum please forgive me. I have installed mc and it works great form terminal or from cli however, I have created a link on my desktop which points to /usr/bin/mc but when I double-click on the icon nothing happens, I have checked the box that says this link is executable. Does anyone know if this tool will run on the desktop?

Welcome to LQ

Choose
create launcher => type => application in terminal

Good luck

You either need to check a box to run it on a terminal, or use this command instead:

Or whatever terminal emulator you use instead of xterm.

using the xterm -e /usr/bin/mc as the command did the trick...thanks!

selecting the option application in Terminal also worked - thanks so much!
