Title: application refuses to run
Post by: keef on May 18, 2004, 01:21:30 pm

Hi

After installing and using Tximage Viewer for some time
The application now appears slightly \'ghosted\" on the screen
and refuses to open.

Tried rebooting and reinstalling but no luck.
Also deleted config file with same result.

Any ideas?


Thanks in advance

Open the console by tapping the icon - should be called Konsole or EmbeddedKonsole (can\'t remember which) it\'s available on your CD if you haven\'t already installed it.

When the console opens type the name of the application and hit enter - generally the app name is the same as the icon name, but if that\'s not true then you will need to look at the entry in the desktop file called exec=<name> - <name> will be the name of the binary fiel for the app. To quickly look inside a desktop file type more /home/QtPalmtop/apps/Applications/i<name>.desktop (changeing <name> to match the name of the desktop file) If the program is installed in another tab change Appplications to the name of the Tab

hope that helps
