How do I remove icons from the Unity launcher using a script? [duplicate]
Solution 1:
-
Get the list of launcher items:
gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Launcher favoritesThis will return something like:
['nautilus-home.desktop', 'gnome-terminal.desktop', 'gedit.desktop']which you can manipulate in your script (eg. using sed), and then
-
Set the launcher item list:
gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Launcher favorites "['gimp.desktop']"Don't forget the quotes.
Solution 2:
try:
unity --replace
after
gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Launcher favorites "['firefox.desktop']"
