Description Neal Becker 2003-12-19 13:23:19 UTC 
Version:           unknown (using KDE 3.1.94 (3.2 Beta 2), compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.2 20031022 (Red Hat Linux 3.3.2-1)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.22-1.2129.nptl

This appears to be similar to 11171, but I couldn't find the resolution to this bug.

kivio and karbon display this problem, but not kword.

koffice (lib kofficecore): ERROR: Couldn't find the native MimeType in kivio's desktop file. Check your installation !

1) Check for desktop files ~/.local/share/applications and move/remove any one that looks related (e.g. kivio.desktop or karbon.desktop). Then rerun kbuildsycoca and try again.

2) If that doesn't help, run the script from koffice/tools/scripts/check_koffice_install.sh after modifying the value of "instance" in the script, to the name of an app that won't start (e.g. kivio or karbon in your case). The script might detect an installation problem or a conflicting setting in ~/.kde/share/applnk.

HTH.
Comment 2 Neal Becker 2003-12-19 15:23:20 UTC 
1. Nothing in ~/.local/share/applications except kde-kghostview.desktop
2. Results of check_koffice_install.sh:

Comment 3 Neal Becker 2003-12-19 21:30:16 UTC 
I moved /usr/share/applications/kde-kivio.desktop out of the way, and that fixed the problem.

Any way to get better diagnoistics so users don't have to guess what's the problem?
Comment 4 David Faure 2003-12-20 09:50:41 UTC 
Please send me that /usr/share/applications/kde-kivio.desktop file
so that I can see which fields in it create the problem, then I'll be
able to check for such stuff in the script.
(Well it's time for a more robust solution in the first place...)
Comment 5 Nicolas Goutte 2004-05-08 15:13:41 UTC 
KOffice 1.3.1 should have fixed such kinds of problems.

Have a nice day!
