Description of problem: run program over Desktop linking slrn -h news.individual.de or tin -g news.individual.de -A it does not work From the console it works Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mageia-6rc, Konsole Version 16.12.3 How reproducible: yes Steps to Reproduce: 3 1. 2. 3.
@ Wolfgang I don't understand what "Desktop linking" is, but you mention you have konsole-16.12.3, so it must be something from Plasma5. Assigning to the KDE maintainers, who'll understand better :-)
Assignee: bugsquad => kdeCC: (none) => marja11Summary: run program over Desktop linking => running a program over Desktop linking doesn't work, but starting it in konsole does work.
Component: New RPM package request => RPM Packages
@ Marja Desktop linking, Desktop shortcut is a Programstarter on the desktop. http://www.wolfgang-bauer.at/screenshot/Desktop%20linking.png
@ Wolfgang Thanks for the explanation. The summary of this bug report gives the impression no desktop program starters work at all. When you create program starters for e.g. "top" and for "ping news.individual.de", do they also not work? Btw, which package provides tin? CC'ing the slrn maintainer.. @ Remmy Do you manage to run slrn from a desktop program starter?

@ Marja The consoles newsreaders are not from the packet sources. The two programs are from Http://www.tin.org/ and http://slrn.sourceforge.net/ Other program starters are working. Mozilla Firefox and others. But in mageia-5 also work slrn and tin on desktop. Ok, I contact the maintainer. regards
I wonder if this is the same issue I vaguely recall seeing being discussed on the QA discuss list. Something about desktop icons not working if they're created as a copy, but working if they're created as a link.
@ David Walser | Something about desktop icons not working if they're created as a copy, but | working if they're created as a link. I do not understand that. It is not about desktop icons but program links on the desktop. See http://www.wolfgang-bauer.at/screenshot/Desktop%20linking.png Right-click the desktop, create new, link to program. http://www.wolfgang-bauer.at/screenshot/desktoplinking.png regards
Try enclosing the command in quotes when creating the launcher, e.g.: "slrn -h news.individual.de"

@ Barry Jackson Ok, thanks this works. Then it is a peculiarity of mageia 6, no bug. In mageia-5 this is not necessary. I hope the translation with google translator is understood.
