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.
