Public bug reported:

Phoronix Test Suite Benchmarking Utility can't be started from
"Applications" ->"System Tools" menu, because file
/usr/share/applications/phoronix-test-suite.desktop doesn't run
interactive session). Currently when I click on "Applications" ->"System
Tools"->"Phoronix Test Suite" launcher, I see a terminal window get open
for 1 second ( it is not possible to read what is written in the
terminal) and then terminal windows closes automatically and nothing
happens. phoronix-test-suite.desktop should either launch a GUI
application or a persistent (interactive) console session. Currently PTS
3.x doesn't have a GUI mode, so, word "interactive" should be added in
line "Exec=phoronix-test-suite" in phoronix-test-suite.desktop file:

Exec=phoronix-test-suite interactive

This problem exists even in all Phoronix Test Suite 3.x packages,
including 3.0.1~repack1 from Ubuntu 11.x repositories and newest
Phoronix Test Suite v3.2.0 (Grimstad) from http://www.phoronix-test-
suite.com/index.php?k=downloads

I'm attaching a patch for Phoronix Test Suite menu file
(/usr/share/applications/phoronix-test-suite.desktop ) to run
interactive session (line "Exec=phoronix-test-suite interactive")

Please fix this bug ASAP, lots of users think, that Phoronix Test Suite
doesn't work at all, see for example

work
