Thanks for testing! Here's the SRU request:
/usr/lib/R/site-library/Rcmdr/etc/linux/Rcmdr.sh is installed with mode 644, which makes the link from Apps|Science fail complaining about its being unable to create the child process for the console window.
This bug has been addressed in Debian by cherry picking a new .desktop
file from upstream
A patch that syncs with debian is attached to comment #4.
TEST CASE: try to start rcmdr through the GNOME menu
Regression potential: none, since it won't even start now.
This does not need to be fixed in Maverick, since the autosyncer will automatically fix it.
** Description changed:
- /usr/lib/R/site-library/Rcmdr/etc/linux/Rcmdr.sh is installed with mode 644, which makes the link from Apps|Science fail complaining about its being unable to create the child process for the console window.
- A simple
- sudo chmod +x /usr/lib/R/site-library/Rcmdr/etc/linux/Rcmdr.sh
- solves this.
