Some apps run from console but not desktop
Strangeness. I can run NetBeans from the command prompt
linux:/etc # cd /opt/NetBeans\ IDE\ 3.5.1/bin/ linux:/opt/NetBeans IDE 3.5.1/bin #./runide.sh But it won't run from an icon I put on the desktop. The little sandtimer turns up in the panel, but then it goes away after a few seconds. Another strange thing. Tab completion only gets me as far as /opt/NetBeans IDE 3.5.1/bin. Further tabbing usually presents a list of possible executables. I don't know what's going on here. Any help appreciated. I'm using KDE. Regards, unholy |

xterm -e <program> slrn has the same problem as described by you, my 'shortcut' looks like this: xterm +sb -fg black -bg gray -fn 8x13 -geometry 141x73-0+0 -e /usr/bin/slrn -f .jnewsrc --spool I do a bit more, for details about all the options I use: man xterm Quote:
Hope this helps. |
Hey Drunna,
thanks, but that didn't work. I got it working by writing a script that cd's to the directory and runs the executable. I think the executable has to be run from the directory it lives in. At least that's what I tell myself so I can sleep tonight :) Thanks a lot! Regards, unholy |
