Tested on multiple Desktop Environments, this is the cool version which works much better than desktop files you’ll find in most tutorials over the web:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=Light Table
Icon=ltbin.png
Path=/path/to/your/LightTable
Exec=/path/to/your/LightTable/ltbin --no-sandbox --process-per-tab --allow-file-access-from-files --enable-experimental-web-platform-features --enable-css-shaders
StartupNotify=false
StartupWMClass=Ltbin
OnlyShowIn=Unity;
X-UnityGenerated=true
Hope this’ll work for you as well.
Cheers!
Update
I’ve updated desktop file contents so it works now well on Ubuntu 15.04. Another thing taken from ubuntuhandbook.com that sometimes you might need to run LT is the following command:
sudo ln -sf /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.0
This is for amd64. Look at the source article for 32bit version.
