This repository contains a Robot Operating System package to test ROS desktop launcher files.

How to test

  • Create a catkin work-space
  • Clone this repository
git clone https://gitlab.com/InstitutMaupertuis/simple_desktop_launcher.git

  • Install the work-space (catkin_make or catkin tools)
catkin_make install
catkin config --install && catkin build

  • Desktop launcher files are installed in $HOME/.local/share/applications/ if the CATKIN_INSTAL_PREFIX does not point in /opt/. In this case the application name is suffixed with (debug) to help differientate it from an installed package (see next line).
  • Desktop launcher files are installed in /usr/share/applications/ and /usr//share/icons/ if CATKIN_INSTAL_PREFIX points in /opt/, this is useful if you are releasing your package and bloom sets the CATKIN_INSTAL_PREFIX to /opt/, this way the files will be automatically be installed at the right place..

Use your application menu to start the application. Alternatively gtk-launch green_robot and gtk-launch red_robot can be used.

The Unity dash usually takes a little bit of time (try logging-out/logging-in again) to update the available applications so it may not appear directly after install.

How it works

.desktop and .png files are installed, these files are parsed by Ubuntu and create applications.

The image file is the icon of the application displayed in the application launcher.

These files are automatically installed via CMake when install is required.

Here are the steps in the CMake script:

Bash scripts

The bash script automatically checks if a ROS core is running, if not one is started as a background task, remaining open even if the application is exited.

  • Clone this repository
git clone https://gitlab.com/InstitutMaupertuis/simple_desktop_launcher.git

  • Install the work-space (catkin_make or catkin tools)
catkin_make install
catkin config --install && catkin build

  • Desktop launcher files are installed in $HOME/.local/share/applications/ if the CATKIN_INSTAL_PREFIX does not point in /opt/. In this case the application name is suffixed with (debug) to help differientate it from an installed package (see next line).
  • Desktop launcher files are installed in /usr/share/applications/ and /usr//share/icons/ if CATKIN_INSTAL_PREFIX points in /opt/, this is useful if you are releasing your package and bloom sets the CATKIN_INSTAL_PREFIX to /opt/, this way the files will be automatically be installed at the right place..

Use your application menu to start the application. Alternatively gtk-launch green_robot and gtk-launch red_robot can be used.

The Unity dash usually takes a little bit of time (try logging-out/logging-in again) to update the available applications so it may not appear directly after install.

How it works

.desktop and .png files are installed, these files are parsed by Ubuntu and create applications.

The image file is the icon of the application displayed in the application launcher.

These files are automatically installed via CMake when install is required.

Here are the steps in the CMake script:

Bash scripts

The bash script automatically checks if a ROS core is running, if not one is started as a background task, remaining open even if the application is exited.
