Openjdk8 alienbob's pkg: Strange behavior

ArthurFontolan · 08-20-2016, 12:50 PM

Hello,

I installed the openjdk8 package of AlienBob and I found two behaviors on my system:

First: Duplicated entries on in XFCE Menu. Both "OpenJDK 1.8.0 Monitoring & Manager" and "OpenJDK 1.8.0 Policy Tool" have to icons each.

Second: When I try to execute any menu entry I get the follow messages:
- "Failed to execute child process "/usr/local/bin/jconsole" (No such file or directory)";
- "Failed to execute child process "_BINDIR_/jconsole" (No such file or directory)";
- "Failed to execute child process "/usr/local/bin/policytool" (No such file or directory)"; and
- "Failed to execute child process "_BINDIR_/policytool" (No such file or directory)".

Someone else had this errors? My systems is a fresh install of Slack64 14.2 with Multilib.

Thanks.

Bugreports for alienbob's packages should go on his blog afaik ... you might be lucky and he notices this post, but there's no guarantee of that.

There's a trouble with .desktop generated files. You can fix this manually (as root) as below :

edit /usr/share/applications/policytool.desktop and change the line :

Code:

Exec=_BINDIR_/policytool

by

Code:

Exec=/usr/lib64/java/bin/policytool

edit /usr/share/applications/jconsole.desktop and change the line :

Code:

Exec=_BINDIR_/jconsole

by

Code:

Exec=/usr/lib64/java/bin/jconsole

To get rid of the extra jconsole and policykit menu entries, removes the files below :

Code:

/usr/share/applications/policytool-1.8.0.desktop
/usr/share/applications/jconsole-1.8.0.desktop

finally, run the command below :

Code:

$ update-desktop-database
