Description A. Folger 2005-11-13 22:57:38 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.7

Description of problem:
When starting kudesigner, nothing happens.

Could this be the same problem as a similar bug in kdevelop (http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=114393)? The bug in kdevelop prevents that program from starting because it looks for a picture file for the splash screen and doesn't find it where expected.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
koffice-kugar-1.4.2-1.fc4

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. type kudesigner in konsole
2. 
3.
  

Actual Results:  nothing

Expected Results:  kudesigner window, file selection window or at least splash screen should have appeared.

I tested this on another machine with FC4 for i386 with the same [lack of] 
result. 

Comment 2 Andreas Bierfert 2005-11-29 16:14:49 UTC
Yes same here... I will wait for someone upstream to comment on this ...

Comment 3 Andreas Bierfert 2006-02-04 13:00:36 UTC
same with 1.5 beta1...

if you wnt to try it out for fc4 rpms can be found here:

I don't think this is related to the kdevelop report.  strace'ing the kudesigner
process isn't very helpful either. ??

I'd file a report upstream against koffice/kudesigner to see what they have to say.

Comment 5 Andreas Bierfert 2006-02-28 21:57:27 UTC
Already did... see external BZ ref below :)

Comment 6 Andreas Bierfert 2006-03-17 10:25:08 UTC
same with 1.4.95...

Comment 7 Andreas Bierfert 2006-04-03 08:48:49 UTC
same with 1.5.0-rc1

Comment 8 Rex Dieter 2006-04-06 15:48:01 UTC
Had a hunch today and found the cause (I'm using koffice-1.5.0 final),

rename /usr/share/applications/fedora-kudesigner.desktop
to /usr/share/applications/kudesigner.desktop
and now it works (for me).  I think it has something to do with kudesigner's 
(as well as many koffice components) extensive use of kparts and their def's 
in the .desktop file.

Might not be a bad idea to change all the desktop-file-install's to use
--vendor="" instead of --vendor="fedora".  Defining the vendor here is only 
really warranted when there isn't one already clear/defined anyway. 

Comment 9 Andreas Bierfert 2006-04-07 06:45:04 UTC
Ah great news, altough I find this _very_ strange. I will fix it with the 1.5.0
final push (could you send me the sources?!)

Hm, for the vendor part => don't know because the rpm os provided by fedora and
I got the impression that koffice folks want bug ect to go here... and this
would make it more clear that the users koffice is coming from fedora...
