mate-session warns about not finding a desktop file

kr flag

Getting similar warnings in the system logs:

Jul 14 09:11:18 precision-7510 mate-session[5184]: WARNING: Unable to find desktop file 'keepassxc.desktop': V složkách hledání nelze najít platný soubor klíče
Jul 14 09:11:18 precision-7510 mate-session[5184]: WARNING: Unable to find desktop file 'mate-keepassxc.desktop': V složkách hledání nelze najít platný soubor klíče

Jul 14 09:11:18 precision-7510 mate-session[5184]: WARNING: Unable to find desktop file 'mate-kdeconnect-sms.desktop': V složkách hledání nelze najít platný soubor klíče

Translation from Czech:

“Can’t find a valid key file in the search directories”

Jul 14 09:11:18 precision-7510 mate-session[5184]: WARNING: Unable to load desktop file '/opt/ownCloud/ownCloud/bin/owncloud.desktop': Adresář nebo soubor neexistuje

Translation from Czech:

“Directory or file does not exist”

All these shortcuts link to KDE or maybe Qt-only applications.

Found a gdm bug on Launchpad but it’s marked invalid and the OP didn’t get answer for his question how to fix it.

Mentioned this gdm bug because similar messages are cited in there.

So I am asking: How do I fix it so that the warnings go away?

Edit:

OS: Ubuntu MATE 20.04.2 LTS (Focal Fossa)

Desktop: MATE 1.24.0

Tags:

  • KDE & Qt because only KDE & Qt applications’ desktop shortcuts cause problems
  • MATE because the log messages go from mate-session

You've not provided any OS & release details (ie. your software stack); the bug you linked looks *invalid* (ie. related to user's config & not `gdm`) but your tagging MATE, KDE & Qt are not explained; with no provided app details, no software stack details so currently it's unclear (the bug you mentioned is for a package no longer used - is your release that old as it was last used in 14.04?)

Wow, excuse me for the lack for information. Going to fix it.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
