I go to the menu with the mouse and click on program icon, but the program doesn't open. (I haven't tried the command line) Reproducible: Always
which version of krecipes? which desktop environment?
I don't know which version of krecipes it is, because I can not open it. I am using Linux Mint 17.1 Mate desktop environment. Thank you.
I'm pretty sure Linux Mint has a package manager where you can check the version number of krecipes you installed.
Yes, I found it. It is 2.0~beta2-3
Does it start from a terminal?
Yes, it did. I wrote krecipes on the terminal window and it started. but it came with some other bug messages on the terminal window this time. the messages are: QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave. QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave. QObject::connect: Cannot connect (null)::contextMenu( K3ListView *, Q3ListViewItem *, const QPoint & ) to RecipeActionsHandler::showPopup( K3ListView *, Q3ListViewItem *, const QPoint & ) QObject::connect: Cannot connect (null)::doubleClicked( Q3ListViewItem*, const QPoint &, int ) to RecipeActionsHandler::open() QObject::connect: Cannot connect (null)::selectionChanged() to RecipeActionsHandler::selectionChangedSlot() and this: (krecipes:2447): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_widget_get_direction: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed (krecipes:2447): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_widget_get_direction: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed (krecipes:2447): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_widget_get_direction: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed (krecipes:2447): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_widget_get_direction: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed
Those warnings are harmless. Does it also work if you do krecipes --icon krecipes -caption "KRecipes" ?
Yes
Do you have a file named /usr/share/applications/kde4/krecipes.desktop ? If so can you run grep Exec /usr/share/applications/kde4/krecipes.desktop and print its output? If not you'll have to use your package manater to try to find the file and then run the same grep command
When I write this as a command at the terminal, it answers "there is not such a file or folder". I did't print the output because it was in my language.
But I can see the krecipes desktop icon at the folder you specified.
Can you attach that file here?
where? how?
Where? *here* https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=355995 How? using the "Add an attachment" link
Created attachment 95913 [details] krecipes.desktop file
Sincerely at this stage i think it's a bug in the Mate Launcher since you can launch it correctly fine from the terminal and not from the launcher. I would suggest opening a bug in their bug tracker.
Thank you very much. I will. But I think I'd better install a newer version of linux mint with another desktop environment.
