Something i updated caused the "Desktop Wallpaper" section of the "Preferences" menu on the main menu (the red button) to stop working.

I can still invoke the command manually from the command-line with this:


$ pcmanfm --show-pref=3

and it works as it should, opening the dialog window and allowing me to change the wallpaper, and correctly changing it when i click the "Close" button.

But when i try to to use the menu to do this, a xterm window opens instead of the Dialog, with this message:


xterm: Can't execvp -e: No such file or directory
$

Any ideas how to fix it?

Desktop files have a true/false option that you should switch.

See my recent post on desktop files.

If you mean a slitaz update caused the problem, it sounds like a regression of a bug that I and another user documented on the old forum.

hi slicel ... thanks, actually i read that post just before i wrote mine, and that's how i finally figured out that the pcmanfm --show-pref=3 command might work. But i don't see anything in the /usr/share/applications/pcmanfm-pref.desktop file which looked like it needed to be changed. Here is my version of that file, let me know if i need to fix something:


[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Desktop Wallpaper
Name[fr]=Fond d'écran
Name[zh_CN]=桌面壁纸
Exec=pcmanfm --show-pref=3
Icon=/usr/share/icons/SliTaz/16x16/apps/preferences-desktop-wallpaper.png
Terminal=true
Type=Application
Categories=Settings;DesktopSettings;

(the Chinese characters are not showing on my system).

slicel

Yes, mine says "Terminal=false" and works.

That fixed it for me. Thanks!
