Hi, I'm with ubuntu 8.04 (gnome) and I have some kde application installed.
Recently I'm able to launch kdvi only from the gnome menu panel or from console and not from nautilus by double clicking .dvi files (not even with "open with..." from the right click menu).
I noticed that when I was lanching the program from consol I was getting the following message:
kbuildsycoca: WARNING: Parse error in /home/zibi/.config/menus/applications-merged/xdg-desktop-menu-dummy.menu, line 1, col 1: unexpected end of file
I then googled around and I saw that many others had this problem. The solution suggested was that there could have been problems with permission and ownership of the ~/.kde folder.
Accordingly I tried the following command:
chown -R $USER:$USER $HOME/.kde
then I realized that instead of $USER and $HOME I should have put my real username and home location
so I tried
chown -R zibi:zibi ~/.kde
Now I still cannot launch kdvi from nautilus. But if I launch it from console I get the following message:
kbuildsycoca running...
QApplication::notify: Unexpected null receiver
SO I reinstalled with synaptic and the problem is still the same.
The fisrt time I launched kdvi from consol I got the first message. But from the second time I launched it I get the second message.
Everything looks fine with other K applications (kile and kpdf).
FInally I post this
zibi@zibi:~/.kde$ ls -l
total 4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 zibi zibi 22 2007-06-01 14:26 cache-zibi -> /var/tmp/kdecache-zibi

lrwxrwxrwx 1 zibi zibi 13 2007-06-01 14:26 tmp-zibi -> /tmp/kde-zibi
I don't know if may be of some help.
Thank you a lot.
