Hi Marcus
Thanks a lot!

Hi David,
so, reporting back: fresh installation on a freshly set up Ubuntu 20.04 does indeed not
install /usr/share/applications/gnuradio-grc.desktop
Possible "hotfix" solutions:
1. run full "gnuradio-companion" from wherever you start programs; that should work without
2. put the attached file into your home (~) in the dirctory ~/.local/share/applications/ ,
run (once)
update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications
Best regards,
Marcus
