I am seeing this behavior when launching the second (and all subsequent files) in kate, from both Dolphin and Konqueror.
My setup: Kubuntu 8.10 KDE 4.2 from kubuntu-experimental PPA. Using Dolphin or Konqueror open text file with kate. --> works fine Leaving Kate open, open second text file from Dolphin or Konqueror. --> Receive error "KDEInit could not launch '/usr/bin/kate'. --> But the file opens as expected (as second open document in kate) -- KDEInit could not launch XXXX https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/184337 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
