Problem starting Quanta after updating to KDE 3.1 using [F2]
Hello A strange thing happened. I use two boxes dayly and both are running fine. So I updated both of them to to run KDE 3.1 (Suse packages from ftp.kde.org). Now, both works fine, but the other of them, for some strage reason, won't let start Quanta using [Alt-F2] and typing "quanta". Instead, I was prompted to type root password in a dialog to install it "yast2 -i quanta". Well, I have Quanta installed in both boxes. The Quanta starts fine in the troublening box, when I start it from Konsole or from an icon on desktop I created. But I really want to start Quanta (and most of apps) using [Alt-F2] and typing two or three letters. Starting any (mayby) other app (KDE app or not) using [Alt-F2] seems to wotk fine. How to get rid of this annoyance? -- --Jyry :-( C:-/ C========8-O C8-/ C:-(

You could try to look at the command/desktop-file properties of the icon on your desktop, and then use the same command to start it though [Alt-F2] Best regards Johnny :o)

Very good day to you too, indeed. And thank you for your answer. Unfortunately the icon command bluntly states the same what I type to [Alt-F2] box: "quanta". And as far as I have noticed, all other applications seems to start up nicely. Oh well, have to enter magician mode and do some chanting. May that helps :-) --jq -- --Jyry :-( C:-/ C========8-O C8-/ C:-(

It works here. Is it a path problem? Try /opt/kde3/bin/quanta, though I just typed in quanta, and not only did it work, but the run commanddialog box showed the quanta icon before I hit enter. 3.1 is looking very nice. :-) BTW, I am using 8.0. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM.
