.desktop file unable to start console apps from desktop
Posted: Sat Aug 17, 2013 9:42 am
Hello;
Everytime I try to start a termial based command or application by a .desktop starter, the termial window opens, closes immediatly and then a new termial window opens with a shell only doing nothing. OS 3.10.6-2-ARCH
The same starter at ~/.local/share/applications/ called from lxmenu works fine.
This behaviour happens since one of the last updates, it was reproducable on 32bit and 64bit systems.
Example:
calendar.desktop
This starter on the desktop worked till update, after update it showed behaviour described above.
I don't know if this issue is lxde related. The recently updated lx components were:
STFW: LXDE Forums: problem starting console apps from .desktop
very old and no solution
No errors logged in any log
Any Ideas how to fix this?
