I also tried modifying that to: Exec=gksudo ltsp-update-image --cleanup / But likewise running that produces no results. ----------------------------------------------- I also tried creating a bash script with the contents: #!/bin/bash sudo ltsp-update-image --cleanup / And alternatively with line 2: gksudo ltsp-update-image --cleanup / and simply also with line 2: ltsp-update-image --cleanup / Trying to run any of those versions, it prompts to Execute or to Execute in Terminal, but none of those choices runs the update program or even prompts for a password.
