Some programs does not start

[clemens]

Hi,

I have a fresh mint installed on my machine. I cant open some programs, for instance catalyst administration, or f.lux preferences; when i click on the symbol, nothing happens. When I open by typing the command in terminal, it works. F.lux does not work at all.

How can I fix that?
Which log-files to look at?

Kind Regards,
Clemens

for the app working from terminal, locate the executable with

Code: Select all

whereis <appname>

substituting <appname> for f.lux or whatever.

Then right click on the menu icon, select properties, compare the entry for the command with the return from the whereis command.

sorry to revive this ole thread, but I'm having the same problem and I think I have some info.

f.lux is just a frontend for xflux, and that's where the problem is. when I type xflux in the terminal it just gives me something about missing dependencies.
