This is apparently Dolphin-specific (although I'm sure root cause will will be kdelibs somewhere), and differs in the that program does successfully launch. Haris, is this *just* with kate or does e.g. clicking on an image give you an error about gwenview? And does kate actually exist in /usr/lib/kde4/bin/kate ? 610290 3 kouzinopoulos 2008-06-12 10:08:49 +0000 It seems to happen only with kate. The kate executable does exist in that location: ls -al /usr/lib/kde4/bin/kate -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3164 2008-06-05 21:36 /usr/lib/kde4/bin/kate 619036 4 faure 2008-07-01 20:26:26 +0000 The question is, which kate.desktop file is being used, and what does it say (especially the X-DBUS-StartupType line). Check ~/.kde and ~/.local for a local kate.desktop override. 620173 5 christophe 2008-07-04 18:59:46 +0000 *** Bug 165729 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 623323 6 mail 2008-07-11 10:51:11 +0000 I run also into this. 623395 7 winter 2008-07-11 15:21:20 +0000 I recently saw a posting about this .. I think on the kde-redhat users group list. The poster said remove the %U from a kate desktop file fixed the problem. But I didn't try. Just reporting as a possible solution to explore. 623416 8 mail 2008-07-11 16:29:14 +0000 Wow, that really did the trick! I did not open Kate via a desktop icon, but directly by clicking on a text file. I edited the properties for text files and edited the associated Kate entry and removed - as you proposed - the %U parameter. Now the errormessage no longer appears when opening and closing textfiles with Kate. Great! 623607 9 faure 2008-07-12 01:19:51 +0000 That's just a side effect, the problem isn't %U, but a wrong key in the desktop file. By modifying it you're creating a local copy of it, which doesn't have that wrong key. Both problems are fixed, see Bug 157853. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 157853 ***
