Broken keyboard shortcut to calculator

[Andreas Wenger]

I edited the Gnome keyboard shortcuts and set a key for the calculator.
After saving and pressing this key, an error message appears which tells me that gcalctool does not exist.

Probably this is because MATE uses mate-calc instead of gcalctool?

Can anybody help me fixing this manually? Thanks!

Have a look at http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=105572 I found a solution there.

Thanks! This is ok for the moment:

cd /usr/bin
sudo ln -s mate-calc gcalctool

However, I feel this is a MATE bug! Either they should install gcalctool by default, or they should replace the default keymappings.

Hi!

the easiest solution is execute in terminal this
sudo apt-get install gcalctool
