<Solved>Command To Start GUI Program from Terminal

[Ray2047]

Gnu BG runs find when started from terminal but not from the app menu. I would like to change the app menu command so it starts in Konsol. I tried 'konsol /usr/games/gnubg -b' and 'konsol/ /usr/games/gnubg -b' but no luck.

maybe
konsole -e /usr/games/gnubg -b

or
xterm -e /usr/games/gnubg -b

should work  

What is with exec /usr/games/gnubg -b in a desktop file?

In the Menu Editor:
Select GNU Backgammon
Select Advanced tab
Check Run in terminal box
Save

Should run

I don't have a clue but that is the way Synaptic installed it.

In the Menu Editor:
Select GNU Backgammon
Select Advanced tab
Check Run in terminal box

Thanks, never did that, never knew why that choice was there. Makes sense though. I will try it.

Edit: Checking the Run In Terminal  box worked so I didn't try the others.
