Public bug reported: The Alt-F2 "Run Application" dialog runs applications. However, it seems to have a different notion of what the path is to my shells; more specifically, it doesn't include ~/bin, which I have added to the path in both .bash_profile and .bashrc.
So I can't run my Firefox starter script, ~/bin/ff, by pressing Alt-F2 and typing "ff". This URL: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-2793.html has a massively long discussion with at least ten ways to solve the problem. I have no idea which one is best, or "approved", or won't break any upgrades or cause conflicts. In Dapper, I solved it by putting the following into .gnomerc: export PATH=$PATH:~/bin That line is still there, but doesn't seem to be doing the trick any more. Can someone who understands this stuff please make this work by default? :-) ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- "Run Application" dialog does not run applications in ~/bin https://launchpad.net/bugs/64064 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
