Hi Ken,<br><br>1) I installed Firefox, Kile, wxMaxima, OpenOffice-RU and 5th else (forgot).<br><br>2) At my experiments the icons were restored, but without miniatures, and with the same messages you wrote.<br>There were not insuperable difficulties: I wanted to see KDE quickly.<br>
<br>3) However that is not the enquiry. Now PCBSD have the unique possibility<br>to win the usual users: Linux isn't going well (and will not); Windows is high-value item; PCBSD is nice for all I showed.<br>Do you see any housewife which can execute your instructions?<br>
<br>Thanks<br>Best regards<br>Serghey<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 14 September 2011 20:10, Ken Moore <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ken@pcbsd.org">ken@pcbsd.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">

As to this error, I just installed the GNOME desktop to test it. I
found that installing PBI's via the AppCafe worked flawlessly, with
both desktop icon and menu icon in the appropriate place and
functional. What PBI did you install that did not have a menu icon,
but did have a desktop icon? I ask this because some programs do not
have either Menu or Desktop icons, but if there is a desktop icon
there should be a corresponding menu entry as well. If there is one
but not the other, let me know and I can fix that for the PBI.<br>
<br>
Trashing desktop icons:<br>
I found that GNOME was unable to restore the desktop icon after
trashing with the error: "Could not determine original location of
'(desktop entry)' ". <br>
However, by dragging the icon from the trash back to the desktop and
running it, I was given the warning that is was an untrusted
application and choices to launch anyway, Mark as trusted, or
cancel. By launching anyway, the program started without a problem.
Marking it as trusted simply returned the icon to its original look
on the desktop, and it started normally when running it after that.<br>
<br>
Instead of dragging the desktop icon from the trash back to the
desktop, I also tried re-installing the desktop icon by right
clicking on the application in the AppCafe and selecting "Install
Desktop Icons". This replaced the icon on the desktop without a
problem and the icon worked just fine as well.<br>
<br>
So in other words, I was unable to duplicate your error with the
GNOME desktop and the desktop icons/menu entries. If you have some
additional information to try and nail down when this error
happened, I will try to reproduce/fix it here.<br>
<br>
Thanks for the report!<div class="im"><br>
