The first time I tried this I had the exact same answer as you & then I looked more closely @ what had typed & I named the file .Reaper & was trying to move .reaper= no file because I had named the file with a upper case *R* but in the terminal it was *r* once changed it moved successfully!Gulliver wrote:Thanks for the explanation. I tried the sudo it says "mv: cannot stat 'reaper.desktop': No such file or directory"CrocoDuck wrote: Only root can move files in there. In Linux you need to acquire root privileges to do operation is system folders. Root is the only real Admin. To acquire root privileges for your regular user you need sudo. Did you try this command?
This should definitively do. Why there are super user privileges and administrators have not total rights? Because in that way system management becomes dangerous and the system easy to maliciously exploit.Code: Select all
sudo mv reaper.desktop /usr/share/applications/reaper.desktop
Try it!.
