I allowed my one to update, and since then, the desktop icons do not execute any of the office applications. After clicking on the icon, the office application splash screen appears and then I get an error message that says; "/home/user/%U does not exist" If, however, I right click, I am able to execute all of the office applications. I believe that the desktop icon is not pointing to the correct location. I checked the group-app.xml file and it says this; <app sequence="1">/usr/share/applications/openoffice.org-1.9-writer.desktop</app> <app sequence="2">/usr/share/applications/openoffice.org-1.9-calc.desktop</app> <app sequence="3">/usr/share/applications/openoffice.org-1.9-impress.desktop</app> and the applications do reside in this directory I think it might have something to do with the launcher but not sure, any ideas how to correct this?
With thanks to macles: The only thing left to do is to edit the desktop files, and to remove %U on line number nine. sudo mousepad /usr/share/applications/openoffice.org-1.9-writer.desktop sudo mousepad /usr/share/applications/openoffice.org-1.9-calc.desktop sudo mousepad /usr/share/applications/openoffice.org-1.9-impress.desktop I did this and my OOo is working again.
