@2handband (Gkodadek) posted a new topic, subject "no launch icon". It read:

   I just installed 2.8.9 on my Slackware desktop machine, and there's no launch icon in the app menu! How do I launch this thing?

@tbonedude (Tbonedude) replied

    vst or non vst?
    
    VST should be :
    
    ardourvst
    
    for non-vst:
    
    ardour2
    
    common sense stuff…

So @2handband (Gkodadek) replied

    thanks, ardour2 did it. Still don't know why there's no icon…

So @paul (Paul Davis) replied

    2handband: if you installed a package, you need to talk to the packager. If you installed from source code, we don't attempt any desktop integration in the source tarball/build scripts. Finally, the current version of Ardour is 2.8.11. It would be nice if everyone could be using the latest version.

    I installed a package. I might wipe it and install the latest from source unless I can fix my jack problem… see my other thread on this page.

    Icons are in /usr/local/share/ardour2/icons.
