[Bug 826049] Re: alacarte crashed with OSError in _execute_child(): [Errno 2] No such file or directory
The problem is that alacarte calls /usr/bin/gnome-desktop-item-edit in a subprocess in order to install new menu items. However, /usr/bin/gnome- desktop-item-edit is in the gnome-panel package, which is only a Recomends: for the alacarte package rather than marked as a true dependency. Workaround: install gnome-panel through your package manager Fix: three possibilities: (1) alacarte should depend on gnome-panel (2) gnome-desktop-item-edit program should be in the alacarte package (3) gnome-desktop-item-edit program should be in some third package, on which alacarte should in turn depend I'll update the bug description accordingly. ** Summary changed: - alacarte crashed with OSError in _execute_child(): [Errno 2] No such file or directory + alacarte crashed with OSError because gnome-desktop-item-edit not found ** Description changed: + alacarte calls /usr/bin/gnome-desktop-item-edit in a subprocess in order + to install new menu items.

I was having the same problem using Xubuntu after I installed this package. This happened even after installing straight from source from the gnome site. What I found is that it appears that the alacarte package is actually dependency on package gnome-panel. Simply installing gnome-panel it fixed this problem. Hope this helps, lachild PS. I installed all the dependencies from gnome-panel one at a time to see if maybe you just needed something from one of gnome-panels dependents... Unfortunately it did actually need gnome-panel and all of it's dependents to work correctly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to alacarte in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/826049 Title: alacarte crashed with OSError in _execute_child(): [Errno 2] No such file or directory To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/alacarte/+bug/826049/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
