Running Foobar in Linux
Reply #432 – 2011-12-23 01:52:30
For what it's worth, I moved the .desktop package to: ~/.local/share/applications/foobar2000.desktop And the icon to: ~/.local/share/icons/foobar2000.png Then modified the .desktop to this:[Desktop Entry] Name=foobar2000 GenericName=Music Player Comment=Plays music Exec=wine .foobar2000/foobar2000.exe Type=Application Terminal=false Icon=foobar2000.png Categories=AudioVideo;Wine MimeType=inode/directory;application/x-cue;application/x-ogg;application/ogg;audio/x-vorbis+ogg;audio/x-scpls;audio/x-mp3;audio/x-mpeg;audio/mpeg;audio/x-mpegurl;audio/x-flac;audio/x-aiff;audio/x-ms-wma;audio/x-wav X-Ayatana-Desktop-Shortcuts=Play-Pause;Stop;Previous;Next [Play-Pause Shortcut Group] Name=Play/Pause Exec=wine ".foobar2000/foobar2000.exe" /playpause TargetEnvironment=Unity [Stop Shortcut Group] Name=Stop Exec=wine ".foobar2000/foobar2000.exe" /stop TargetEnvironment=Unity [Previous Shortcut Group] Name=Previous Exec=wine ".foobar2000/foobar2000.exe" /prev TargetEnvironment=Unity [Next Shortcut Group] Name=Next Exec=wine ".foobar2000/foobar2000.exe" /next TargetEnvironment=Unity And all is working well. I still couldn't get $HOME to work but this is all probably a cleaner setup for per-user foobar. Now if only I could edit the first post I'll have to explore alternative methods for sharing foobar across multiple users, this should be doable with wine user profiles and installing foobar in standard mode instead of portable.
