Description of problem: When pressing the shortcut assigned to "Calculator", no calculator window is shown. Instead, this appears in .xsession-errors: (gnome-settings-daemon:1805): media-keys-plugin-WARNING **: Could not find application 'gcalctool.desktop' It seems like the desktop filename has changed to gnome-gcalctool.desktop. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-shell-3.2.0-2.fc16.x86_64 gcalctool-6.2.0-1.fc16.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.Press the Calculator button (or whatever key is assigned to that shortcut) Actual results: No calculator Expected results: A calculator
This is working now (gnome-shell-3.2.1-2.fc16.x86_64, gcalctool-6.2.0-1.fc16.x86_64).
...and it's broken again in gnome-shell-3.4.1-3.fc17.x86_64.
This time it's the other way around. The installed file is gcalctool.desktop but gnome-shell is looking for gnome-gcalctool.desktop.
And this isn't just a stale shortcut you created in the past when the desktop file was called gnome-gcalctool.desktop? If you remove from favorites and add to favorites again does it work? (I'm not saying it's good that shortcuts break, but it's hard to get around if apps change their desktop file name, which is the identifier we use to identify an application.)
It's not a stale shortcut. It also happens on e.g. a newly installed virtual machine. 1. System Settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts 2. Click on the shortcut next to 'Launch calculator' 3. Set a shortcut the virtual machine can hear e.g. Alt-C 4. Now press Alt-C 5. tail .xsession-errors (gnome-settings-daemon:1114): media-keys-plugin-WARNING **: Could not find application 'gnome-gcalctool.desktop' Looks like the culprit is gsd-calculator.patch which just needs to be dropped.
Noticed this bug today, but then as a workaround discovered a gnome shell calculator extension that's slightly more convenient than the standalone gcalctool. WinKey + expression + WinKey VS Calculator key + expression + enter + alt-f4.
I recently upgraded to Fedora 17 and have noticed the bug still occurs with; gnome-shell-3.4.1-5.fc17.x86_64 gcalctool-6.4.1.1-1.fc17.x86_64 (gnome-settings-daemon:1760): media-keys-plugin-WARNING **: Could not find application 'gnome-gcalctool.desktop' I use a keyboard which has a dedicated calculator button, so I'm not very keen to use other work arounds!
Same on my Fedora 17: (gnome-settings-daemon:1401): media-keys-plugin-WARNING **: Could not find application 'gnome-gcalctool.desktop' gnome-settings-daemon-3.4.2-1.fc17.x86_64 gcalctool-6.4.2.1-1.fc17.x86_64 Workaround I used: ln -s /usr/share/applications/gcalctool.desktop /usr/share/applications/gnome-gcalctool.desktop
