Title: Can\'t find installed Qtopia Desktop
Post by: tawalker on March 21, 2004, 03:59:11 pm

I\'ve just installed the RPM of Qtopia Desktop v1.7 on my Red Hat 9 box. The command

Code: [Select]

rpm -qa | grep qtopia

tells me the package is installed, but if I enter \"qtopia-desktop\" or \"qtopiadesktop\" at the terminal, the system tells me there is no such command. Also, there is no QD item in the launcher menu of my GNOME desktop, though I wasn\'t really expecting one  

Sorry if I\'m being slow, but if QD really is installed on here, how do I (a) check if it is, and ( run it?

Ironic - most people get problems with QD after they get it running :roll:

Many thanks!

Tim

This will tell you where Qtopia Desktop installed its files:

Code: [Select]

rpm -ql qtopia-desktop
Did it place the executable in your PATH?

Code: [Select]

echo $PATH
If not, edit /etc/profile or your own .bash_profile to include the directory with the qtopia-desktop executable in the PATH.

You will probably find it here:
/opt/Qtopia/bin/qtopiadesktop
