[Bug 144538] Re: menu editor dont start.
I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10 amd64 and I have the same problem. I provide the following outputs: When I execute alacarte from terminal I get: edu...@ecc:~/Desktop$ alacarte Traceback (most recent call last): File /usr/bin/alacarte, line 36, in module main() File /usr/bin/alacarte, line 32, in main app = MainWindow(datadir, version, sys.argv) File /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/Alacarte/MainWindow.py, line 48, in __init__ self.editor = MenuEditor() File /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/Alacarte/MenuEditor.py, line 36, in __init__ self.__loadMenus() File /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/Alacarte/MenuEditor.py, line 63, in __loadMenus self.save(True) File /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/Alacarte/MenuEditor.py, line 67, in save fd = open(getattr(self, menu).path, 'w') IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/eduard/.config/menus/applications.menu' Of course I can execute it using sudo. Then, because the permission is denied to /home/eduard/.config/menus/applications.menu I tried to list it: edu...@ecc:~/Desktop$ ls /home/eduard/.config/menus/applications.menu ls: cannot access /home/eduard/.config/menus/applications.menu: Permission denied edu...@ecc:~/Desktop$ sudo ls /home/eduard/.config/menus/applications.menu /home/eduard/.config/menus/applications.menu So the problem might be the permisions on the file /home/eduard/.config/menus/applications.menu Since the missing information is now provided, may be this bug could be reopened. -- menu editor dont start. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/144538 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 144538] Re: menu editor dont start.
I didn't do anything manually to any files as root; this occurred all on its own either from the 0.04 install or from the 9.04-9.10 upgrade. The previous comments are very old so they make me wonder if its the same bug... but it's definitely the same symptom; just trying to edit my menus and the main menu editor crashes. -- menu editor dont start. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/144538 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 144538] Re: menu editor dont start.
Yeah it is some kind of permission error. Running as sudo allows modification of menus. Not sure why the permissions were/are set like that. -- menu editor dont start. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/144538 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I fixed it for me - the access rights wasn't right. i corrected the problem for me by setting the rights of menus and everything in it to 0755 -- menu editor dont start. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/144538 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Unfortunately, I don't actually know what happened. It still happens always when I try to open the menu editor (alacarte?) and I think it have something to do with gnome-setting-daemon package's routine crash always at start-up. -- menu editor dont start. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/144538 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Thanks for your report, what's the output of ls -las /home/kjell/.config/menus/applications.menu ; it seems that you modified the file as a root and now you don't have permissions to edit it. ** Changed in: alacarte (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Low Assignee: (unassigned) = Ubuntu Desktop Bugs (desktop-bugs) Status: New = Incomplete ** Visibility changed to: Public -- menu editor dont start. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/144538 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
