I am happy to announce that I have managed to fix this bug! ;) Problem: kmenuedit does not save newly created desktop menu items.
Cause: The directory which holds the user .desktop files (~/.local/share/applications) is owned by the root user and group after a fresh installation of Kubuntu Feisty Fawn Final. This directory should be owned by the user, not root. Solution (Fix): The temporary fix is the following command in a console: "sudo chown -R <USERNAME>: ~/.local/share/applications" <USERNAME> should be replaced with the system usern/group name of the current system user and also note the colon trailing immediately afterwards. If your system user/group name is Mart (as in my case), the command would be: sudo chown -R mart: ~/.local/share/applications The command sets both the user and group ownership of the ~/.local/share/applications directory to your system user and group respectively. This command must be ran as root so triple-check the command is correct before executing it! The permanent fix is to have the ~/.local/share/applications directory user and group ownership set to the system user and group respectively on a fresh installation of Kubuntu Feisty Fawn. Notes: ~/.local/share/mime is also owned by root. Although this doesn't effect this bug, it might be causing other problems. Should the mime directory also be owned by the system user/group? -- kmenuedit does not save changes. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/88426 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a bug contact for kdebase in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
