Not finding anything on this, my searches haven't helped.
Running Lucid Puppy on a thinkpad x100e.
Having installed Chrome, it did not provide any menu entries or shortcuts anywhere. I can't find a google chrome directory anywhere in the filesystem. Strange to me but whatever- I'm trying to run chrome- work to do and all.
I run chrome by opening the console and running:
google-chrome --user-data-dir=/usr/data
it's great. I just want to make a desktop shortcut. a keyboard shortcut would be cool too.
Thanks in advance.
How to make a desktop shortcut start Chrome?
Hi Manoeuver, Welcome to Pup! Here, this should make life easy.
Cli's >> google-chrome %U me thinks..
The hard way..
Rt-clk inside home >> new >> script >> name as you like.
Open it >> this line: google-chrome --user-data-dir=/usr/data
.. under #!/bin/sh.
Save it, then drag to your desktop.
Now rt-clk >> edit item >> shortcut click to set.

For what its worth I would use thr rox filer and navigate to the binary in /usr/bin chrome whatever
drag it over to the desktop and it will ask you what to make . Choose link relative I think (not too sure on what link absolute does).
Close everything up right click on desktop link and edit the action it takes with your above line . Find an icon and in the same menu you can drag an icon over too
