Installing Gnome Power Statistics in Linux Mint Xfce

Post by ozaz »

Am using Linux Mint Xfce. I've installed "Gnome Power Statistics" from the Software Manager application. It's in the store as a Flatpak.
I can launch the app from within the software manager, but it doesn't appear in the Whisker Menu.

Is this because its a Gnome application or is it because its a Flatpak?

Is there any way to get it into the Whisker Menu?

Thanks

Maybe as root user edit
/usr/share/applications/gnomepower?
and check out in the file the

show ony

and add xfce

Might work, might not worth a try though.

Thanks for suggestion.

However, when I look in /usr/share/applications/ I don't see a file or folder called gnomepower (or any variation of this name)

Edit: Have now installed a couple of other Flatpaks (teams-for-linux and GNOME Sudoku). Neither of these have a file or folder in /usr/share/applications/ , but unlike Gnome Power Statistics they do appear in the Whisker menu.

I think part of the problem is where it runs from via a flatpak

/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=connectagram org.gottcode.Connectagram

for my game of connectagram.
I read in one instance at least the I had to log off/log on in order to see that in the Games category.
