Description Ivan Miljenovic 2007-04-08 09:34:14 CEST
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070404 BonEcho/2.0.0.3
Build Identifier: 

Running Gentoo Linux, I recently upgraded my menu to the 25/03/2007 snapshot of the xfdesktop build to try it out.  However, every time I tried to run an OpenOffice.org program through the menu, it came up with the error "/home/ivan/%U does not exist" in an error dialog, and then halt.  Downgrading to the stable 4.4.0 version fixed this.  At first, I thought this was a problem with the Gentoo setup of OpenOffice, until I noticed that launching from the command line worked properly.

Here is the Gentoo bugzilla bug report:

Reproducible: Didn't try




I'm running Gentoo Linux 2006.0 on an x86 Centrino laptop.  In case anyone is interested, I've attached my Gentoo configuration setup:

Comment 1 Ivan Miljenovic 2007-04-08 10:26:38 CEST
Fixed up the summary (accidentally pasted something in there twice)
Comment 2 Brian J. Tarricone (not reading bugmail) 2007-04-08 19:42:46 CEST
This should work properly - please attach the offending .desktop file.
Comment 3 Ivan Miljenovic 2007-04-09 04:22:35 CEST
Created attachment 1088 
OpenOffice.org Writer .desktop menu file

Here is one of the .desktop files that the new menu system seems to choke over.
Comment 4 Brian J. Tarricone (not reading bugmail) 2007-05-05 18:03:12 CEST
This should be fixed in svn, 4.4 branch.
