Full Discussion: error running firefox.desktop file
Operating Systems Linux Debian error running firefox.desktop file Post 302342748 by Leppie on Monday 10th of August 2009 04:00:46 PM

in what directory did you install firefox?

filepermissions are ok for launching the shortcut.
1 = execute, 2 = write, 4 = read, these are summed up.
so 775 means read, write and execute permissions for the owner and the group that the file is owned by and read and execute permissions for others.

have you tried to drag and drop the shortcut from the main menu to your desktop?
this might give you some insight in what info you are missing or is incorrect in your current shortcut.

profile-manager

PROFILE-MANAGER(1)					      General Commands Manual						PROFILE-MANAGER(1)

NAME

       profile-manager - starts the gui for configuring the metadata used by desktop-profiles

SYNOPSIS

       profile-manager

DESCRIPTION

       The  desktop profiles package needs metadata about the available profiles in order to decide when to activate which profiles. This metadata
       is contained in the .listing files placed in the /etc/desktop-profiles directory. This convenience script will start a graphical  interface
       for configuring that metadata.

       The gui is a kommander script, so you need to have the kommander package installed for the gui to work (the script will check if the neces-
       sary prerequisites are present, and tell you what's missing if necessary).

OPTIONS

       There are no options

FILES

       /etc/desktop-profiles/*.listing - Files containing the metadata about installed profiles

BUGS

       The gui currently barks at profile metadata containing a single quote in the description.
