wine not creating entry in applications menu

Post by eagleclaw »

hello. i am using kali linux andi have installed an application with wine and it works well. the issue is, there is no wine menu in the applications menu. every time that i want to run the program I have to go through the installation process. in the root account, everything works fine and wine also creates the menu entries. anyone got any ideas what I could do to get the menu entries in the non-root account? thanks

Never run Wine as root. Follow these instructions for fixing the permissions errors you've created: https://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#I_ran_wine_ ... _errors.3F
