No menuenetry in KDE

[kaputtnik]

Installing the DEB- Packge will not Create a Menueentry in KDE.

Trying to start unitree in Konsole, the message appears: Command not found.

Trying:"python /usr/share/unitree/unitree.py" the following happens:

Cannot find unitree.cfg file. Applying default settings.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/unitree/unitree.py", line 3032, in <module>

    pixbuf = gtk.gdk.pixbuf_new_from_file('unitree_icon.png') # get icon from png

The deb file is designed to install UniTree on GNOME (Ubuntu 9.10). I have no clue if there are any special setting (in the deb file) required to install it on KDE. Maybe you know it better than me.

Anyway, from your comment I see that you are starting unitree.py instead of unitree.sh. The traceback shows that UniTree cannot find its files because it does not know where they are. That is exactly the reason why you should start unitree.sh because it changes to the UniTree directory.

Workaround:
1. unzip the unitree folder from the deb file and copy it wherever you want
2. create a menu starter that starts the file unitree.sh

Thanks, starting the file "/usr/share/unitree/unitree.sh" solves the problem whith starting the program.

I will try to find out, what menuesettings in the deb-file are necessary, to create a menueentry in kde.

Maybe its a Problem, with the Menue-name "Zubehör" (don't know this in englisch), wich not exists in kde?

Found the problem:

The installer creates a file ".desktop" (without name) in "/usr/share/applications".

Renaming this file to "unitree.desktop" creates a menuentry in "Programme -> Dienstprogramme -> Unitree"

Perfect, I will change it and see if this works also with GNOME.

This is fixed now in Version 0.82.
