[SOLVED] Is there is something wrong with Cheese's .desktop file?

lmello · 2014-10-25 00:09:33

This is an issue I cannot fathom how to debug.

All I know is that, starting Cheese (GNOME's webcam application) through the application menu doesn't work.

BUT from a VT or using ALT+F2 the program starts and is perfectly functional.

I suppose there's something not OK with the .desktop file installed in the 3.14.1-1 package, reproduced here:

I ran 'journalctl -f' to catch some information. Nothing happened.

Somebody on Debian is also having the same problem: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo … bug=765513

The workaround on the last comment fixes the problem BTW.

If the problem is fixed, please mark your thread [SOLVED].

Not for me. I've changed the last entry in /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Cheese.desktop to

DBusActivatable=false

and, after logging out and back in, Cheese still starts from the terminal but not from the menu.

JGC · 2014-10-25 13:49:06

The bug is in /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.gnome.Cheese.service

gnome-shell tries to activate cheese trough dbus, but since the executable in the service file is not pointing to the correct location it will never launch. This is already fixed upstream in git (one hour ago).

Thank you.

@brix instead of fixing the .desktop file then change this file to look like this:

[D-BUS Service]
Name=org.gnome.Cheese
Exec=/usr/bin/cheese --gapplication-service
