Clicking on the icon brings up the exasperating announcement that: "KDEInit cannot launch '/usr/lib64/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0_update14/jre/bin/javaw'".
That is indeed where Java lives, but there is no file called "javaw" in that directory. Even more surprising,
doesn't find anything on the system. (I ran that as root, from /). What does one do? It's a typo. Just delete the w. It should be .../jre/bin/java
Anders I must not have been clear. There is noplace where "javaw" is visible except in the error message. I don't know that it is a typo; "javaw" is a normal Java executable. I don't know why there is none on my system.
It is not normal on a linux system
The typo is in $HOME/Desktop/Genealogy\ J.desktop
In that file you have a line that says
Exec=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0.u4-sun-1.6.0.u4/jre/bin/javaw -Xmx512m -Xms32m -jar run.jar
Well, except that on your system it said java-1.5.0-something. Whatever, just remove the w and it will work I forgot to mention that you can also do it by simply right-clicking on the icon on your desktop and change it right there Actually, you might just remove the whole full path thing, and just say "java -Xmx512m -Xms32m -jar run.jar", plain and simple. That saves your having to edit it every time java gets updated Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
