I think all of the output of the script (error messages) is sent to this file:
/var/tmp/tdecache-$USER/r14-xdg-update-validation-test9.txt
There are three dialog boxes that sequentially popup with three different messages.
Because they are hard wired
to prohibit copy operations (given where they appear in the boot sequence copy might not
work anyway) I would have
to write them out from reading the screen. I can do that if you need it. Basically they
say; the update did not
work, contact the nearest administrator, and where to find the above mentioned error
file.
The errors were all in updating *.desktop files--since I don't use those desktop
files I don't care. What I do
care about is having to click on three different itty bitty buttons that appear in three
different locations on the
screen, one after another, with my shaky 71 year old hands... If it keeps up much longer
I am going to turn into a
grumpy old man... <grin>
If I just knew where the script was, I could fix the popup dialog problem. It is
possible that just creating
empty *.desktop files could solve the update problem, but the script does not tell where
it expects to find the
files--so I don't know where to put them. My first post has lots of details about
the *.desktop files that
failed.
I attached the daily error message file, mentioned above.
Thanks
Keith
Keith, please bear with me. I will try to look into this during the weekend, I
hope (sigh...) to finish work 1 or 2
hours earlier than usual those days.
BTW, if you could write down those messages as you suggested, it might be helpful.
Hopefully not too much extra work
for your shaky 71 year old hands ;-)
Cheers
Michele
