Description alex svetos 2009-11-05 19:27:53 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Typing 'kdf' in krunner doesn't do anything, looks like it doasn't find the application.

kdf is installed from kubuntu packages and it launches perfectly from a terminal.
'whereis kdf' return 'kdf: /usr/bin/kdf'
Comment 1 Burkhard Lück 2009-11-06 07:51:58 UTC
Kubuntu 9.04 here
$ which kdf /usr/bin/kdf
$ kdf --version
Qt: 4.5.2
KDE: 4.3.2 (KDE 4.3.2)
KDiskFree: v0.9

Launching  the app by typing 'kdf' in krunner works.

Comment 3 Burkhard Lück 2009-11-06 11:20:55 UTC
Hm, strange :-(
Maybe a locale problem?
Which locale do you have? Mine is German.
Please switch to english language and try again.
Comment 4 alex svetos 2009-11-06 11:57:14 UTC
Wow you nailed it! 
Turns out it doesn't work with french locale but is ok with the english one.
Comment 5 Burkhard Lück 2009-11-06 19:36:32 UTC
I have build language fr from sources in my branch system build from sources.

And launching  the app by typing 'kdf' in krunner works here.

Look like it is a kubuntu issue?

No.

I have installed the fr lang-pack for kubuntu 9.04, switched to "fr" in nsystemsettings, logged out and in and checked again, launching kdf by typing 'kdf' in krunner works.

Seems your installation is somehow broken, maybe reinstall of lang-pack fr and/or kde may solve your problem?
