Caja does not launch from panel shortcut.
Last modified: 2013-10-19 15:53:45 EDT
Description of problem: Caja does not launch. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): MATE caja 1.6.2 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start caja from shortcut (caja -n) 2. Wait 3. Actual results: Seems to be starting but then disappears. Expected results: Opened file manager Additional info: Problem was introduced from yum update. It did not exist in original fedora 19. The USB issue 974869 reported seem to be affecting me too. There is a process running caja. Killing it results in a million spawned caja windows. caja from the command line seem to work (with no -n).
I quess you're speaking from the panel-laucher. If yes delete them and create him new from the menu (add to panel) Upstream has added the (-n) to /usr/share/applications/caja.desktop Unfortunately i used this file for our first version of the default panel layout, and not the correct file /usr/share/applications/caja-browser.desktop which is used in the menu. In latest mate-panel this is fixed but this doesn't override a existing user panel configuration, in result the pannel-launcher use the (-n) flag. Sorry for this, i will leave this report open for other users who maybe run in the same issue, but there is nothing i can do. The correct entry for a shortcut from caja-browser.desktop is caja --no-desktop --browser %U The x-caja-window issue is well known. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=886029 upstream is working on it, pls be patience.
Wolfgang, I'm able to reproduce from the panel, we should change the shortcut.. I'll look and see if I can fix it myself.. if not catch up with you on IRC.
OK latest update: This is fixed in the latest mate-panel update but it does not overwrite an existing user's configuration. Please manually update the shortcut by right clicking on the caja icon and updating the command to: "caja --no-desktop --browser %U"
The command update works for me. Thanks!
