Invalid desktop entry file: 'usr/local/share/applications/setconky.desktop'

[hwdornbush]

I just got a new Pi4 8GB and downloaded the Pi OS 64 bit, and installed it. It booted just fine. I then installed the latest 73Linux. Based on recent experience firs downloading the 32-bit version and having trouble loading BAP, I started by just loading one app: Conky. That seems to work although the Conky display is positioned so that my call sign its too high so that the top is cutoff. Then I tried to run Hamradio > Conky Prefs When I do this, I get a popup: Invalid desktop entry file: 'usr/local/share/applications/setconky.desktop' There is no file usr/local/share/applications/setconky.desktop Seems to be a bug in Conky Prefs.

Try running bash ~/bin/conky/setconky and see if it starts. This will let us know if it's a shortcut issue or an app issue. Conky running off the screen is probably due to the resolution of the monitor

bash ~/bin/conky/setconky works.

ok. that indicates an issue with the menu shortcut. thanks for testing it.

When you have a second, run cat ${HOME}/.local/share/applications/setconky.desktop and post the results please.

cat ${HOME}/.local/share/applications/setconky.desktop cat: /home/pi/.local/share/applications/setconky.desktop: No such file or directory

More info: When I run bash ~/bin/conky/setconky I get an indication that it cannot find the file, I assume, because of the extra .86:

/home/pi/bin/conky/laptop.86.86 cp: cannot stat '/home/pi/bin/conky/laptop.86.86': No such file or directory

Tested on 32bit and the menu shortcut is ok. Testing on 64bit needed to see if I can reproduce the issue.

Issue will be handled in #29

I installed 73Linux 4.0.1 and I still get this error message. I tried running bash ~/bin/conky/setconky

bash ~/bin/conky/setconky /home/pi/bin/conky/laptop.86.86 cp: cannot stat '/home/pi/bin/conky/laptop.86.86': No such file or directory conky: desktop window (c00171) is subwindow of root window (3a2) conky: window type - normal conky: drawing to created window (0x1600001) conky: drawing to double buffer conky: forked to background, pid is 2145

Still buggy

On Pi 64bit?

[km4ack]

Created new issue ticket to deal with this since it wasn't resolved in 4.0.1
