| Hi, $HOME is not recognized, it is not supported in the desktop spec. Nautilus simply get the string after '=' and pass it to chdir. If you just want this app to start in $HOME, you can remove the 'Path' line from the desktop file and try gnome-terminal. gnome-terminal uses the home dir as default. In GNOME, when fail to chdir, it will not continue to run the app. Maybe in KDE, it still continue to run the app and use a default dir? >>> jupiter <jupiter hce gmail com> 2013-1-17 äå 16:59 >>> Hi, I am running nautilus on CentOS 6.2. If I run an application to click it's icon in menu, it worked fine. but when I copy the application icon to the desktop, and I clicked the desktop launcher, it had error messages "Failed to change directory $HOME ( (No such file or directory)", and another warning "(nautilus:12946): GLib-GIO-WARNING **: couldn't find a terminal, falling back to xterm" The errors were due to that menu application includes "Path=$HOME" and "Terminal=1" in its menu desktop file. Since the same desktop file is running fine by KDE file manager or thunar, not clear if the system is missing something or not configure properly for nautilus. Appreciate any tips for how to fix it. Thank you. Kind regards. -- nautilus-list mailing list nautilus-list gnome org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/nautilus-list |
