Hello, I have this weird situation, I can't figure out.
I can launch the Remote Desktop Viewer from the command line: %vinagre and it launches and is fully functional. When I try to launch it from the "desktop icons" or the icons that are present within gnome, i cannot. A little bar appear on the top of the menu bar, that it is working on opening, then nothing, closes. No window ever makes it to my X-window. When I watch my /var/log/syslog log, I can see this error. May 11 00:59:39 debianWorkstation vinagre-file.desktop[3290]: Missing argument for -F When I dig into my /home user, namely: ~/.gnome/apps/vinagre-file.desktop I can find this line: Exec=vinagre -F %U So after all this digging, I can only conclude it is some type of gnome error. Unfortunately, I don't know Gnome very well, since it has almost always just worked as expected. What does the %U variable mean? user? Any tips hints or otherwise would be greatly appreciated. =)
