Hi, I have a question for you more knowledgable. Since I installed (a self compiled) latest TDE few weeks ago, I observe very strange behavior of buttons in the panel. I have there many buttons and with most of them everything is fine. In fact it was fine with all of them for the past 20y. Since last upgrade if I click Signal or Teams-For-Linux buttons the applications do not start. Same applications start only from the console. How can I debug and where to look?
I attach screenshots of the two configurations.
I presume you are referring to "quick launch" buttons?
* Does .xsession-errors show anything?
* Is there a TDE menu option for the same? Does launching from the menu succeed?
* "Right-click" on the icon, select "Configure Signal button" or similar. In the respective popup dialog, look in the Applications tab. Note the command and try to launch the same in a terminal window.
* Look for a signal.desktop file or something named like that (locate signal | grep desktop). In that file will be an Exec= key. If there is no such file then likely nothing will appear in the TDE menu either.
* Check the package contents to see if there are any related *.desktop files.
