Thanks for testing! Here's the SRU request:
/usr/lib/R/site-library/Rcmdr/etc/linux/Rcmdr.sh is installed with mode 644, which makes the link from Apps|Science fail complaining about its being unable to create the child process for the console window. This bug has been addressed in Debian by cherry picking a new .desktop file from upstream A patch that syncs with debian is attached to comment #4. TEST CASE: try to start rcmdr through the GNOME menu Regression potential: none, since it won't even start now. This does not need to be fixed in Maverick, since the autosyncer will automatically fix it. ** Description changed: - /usr/lib/R/site-library/Rcmdr/etc/linux/Rcmdr.sh is installed with mode 644, which makes the link from Apps|Science fail complaining about its being unable to create the child process for the console window. - A simple - sudo chmod +x /usr/lib/R/site-library/Rcmdr/etc/linux/Rcmdr.sh - solves this. + /usr/lib/R/site-library/Rcmdr/etc/linux/Rcmdr.sh is installed with mode + 644, which makes the link from Apps|Science fail complaining about its + being unable to create the child process for the console window. + + This bug has been addressed in Debian by cherry picking a new .desktop + file from upstream + + A patch that syncs with debian is attached below. + + TEST CASE: try to start rcmdr through the GNOME menu + + Regression potential: none, since it won't even start now. + + + This does not need to be fixed in Maverick, since the autosyncer will automatically fix it. + ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 Package: r-cran-rcmdr 1.5-4-1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-21.32-generic 2.6.32.11+drm33.2 Uname: Linux 2.6.32-21-generic i686 Architecture: i386 Date: Thu May 6 08:23:56 2010 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" - Release i386 (20091028.5) ProcEnviron: - LANG=es_ES.utf8 - SHELL=/bin/bash + LANG=es_ES.utf8 + SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: rcmdr ** Tags added: sru ** Tags removed: patch ** Tags added: patch -- [SRU] rcmdr .desktop file fails to create child process https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/576243 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
