Hello,

i want to create a custom menu when i can ssh some hosts.
i try it by running a program : when i type the command and choose to run it into the Terminal, it doesn 't work. The Terminal stays blank and blocked. I can see the process but nothing appears.

I try to launch it by customising menu with the same result.
We can see below the file ***.desktop : 

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=****
Exec=/usr/bin/Terminal -x ssh -v -Y *****
Icon=config-xfree
Categories=*****


[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=****
Exec=ssh -v -Y *****
Terminal=True
Icon=config-xfree
Categories=***

Any ideas ?

Well, for starters, your .desktop files are not valid.  Fix that and see if it works.  (Hint: the "desktop-file-validate" program, part of the desktop-file-utils package, can help you.)

Ok, it's possible the way of customising menu and command changes with this version.so why is there again an icon in the menu wich proposes you to run a program into a terminal ? In lauching ssh with this way, it doesn't work.

I correct my desktop.files but (forgot ; after categories and the Type) but doesn't work too.
Do i  forget something ?

It works now. I don't know why it doesn't work just after fixing desktop entries.
