Computer: Acer Aspire One
Operating System: Linpus Linux Light
Application: VLC Media Player version 0.8.7 (Janus)
The issue: When launched from the desktop icon in addition to the VLC player a second error window keeps appearing with the following script:
Unable to open '%U'
Something to do with the desktop icon because then I launch the application from the advanced desktop (righ click desktop then go through the list of apps) the error box doesn't appear. Minor, but I'd like to get rid of it.
Another AA1 Linpus user on another board posted this:
"open the livna-vlc.dexktop with mousepad
sudo mousepad /usr/share/applications/livna-vlc.desktop
search the exec= ...line and remove this damned %U
save and close mousepad and reboot"
I'm a Linux noob but I do know he's talking about opening a terminal and accessing root files which I don't want to mess up.
Can anyone expand on this? Is he talking about removing an entire line of code? or just what's popping up in the error box?
FIXED!
The line of code looks like this:
exec= vlc %U
I only removed the two characters at the end, File>Save, closed all windows, the rebooted.
The error box is GONE and VLC runs fine.
