Trying to start ProjectCenter

[FreeCare]

I have used Adept to install ProjectCenter and all the required GNUStep items and it reports it is all installed OK.

The KMenu does not show and entry for ProjectCenter even if I open the menu editor and select Save.

I have tried to add and entry for ProjectCenter.app and have also pressed Alt-F2 and entered ProjectCenter.app but this gives me an error: Unknown Host ProjectCenter.app

Could someone give me a pointer in how I start it?

Thanks

Re: Trying to start ProjectCenter

Hi,

I tried that and I got a message saying 'ProjectCenter' is currently not installed. Run sudo apt-get install projectcenter.app

When I did this I get a message saying projectcenter.app is already the newest version 0 upgraded, 0 installed, 0 to remove and 102 not upgrade.

So I type projectcenter and I get the it is not installed error?

Confused?

Re: Trying to start ProjectCenter

Since installing it, have you performed a normal shutdown/restart yet?

Re: Trying to start ProjectCenter

I just restarted and now get this:

for Alt-F2 typing projectcenter I get the error Service '/home/paul/.local/share/applications/ProjectCenter.desktop' is malformatted

And from a terminal bash: projectcenter not found

I am completely stumped?

Re: Trying to start ProjectCenter

that is where i stared. i dowloaded the files and followed the install help file and it would not do anything. then i found it could be installed from adept manager which i did and it reports to me it is installed?

Re: Trying to start ProjectCenter

Re: Trying to start ProjectCenter

Installed projectcenter.app from Adept Manager myself, just to "see" what happens. It installed, but I too, can't seem to figure out how to start it. I've done some Googleing and have not yet found any real help.

Try installing (via Adept Manager) the application gnustep.
Introduction to GNUstep

Re: Trying to start ProjectCenter

Try a spring (well, autumn ) clean first:

sudo apt-get remove -- purge projectcenter

sudo apt-get install projectcenter

If that does not work I'd update my database after the purge (sudo updatedb) and then search for all projectcenter related files (locate projectcenter). That might get you going...

Re: Trying to start ProjectCenter

Hi Snowhog, the first thing I installed was GNUStep and that too is reported by adept manager as being installed along with its requirements. I also have GORM installed.

Hi Toad, here is the output from trying what you suggested. I am confused with what results I get back?

Re: Trying to start ProjectCenter

Okay, make sure your universe repository is enabled. If not sure about it please post the output of

cat /etc/apt/sources.list

You updated your database so have a look for any remnants of projectcenter doing a

locate projectcenter

Another path open to you is

sudo apt-get check projectcenter.app

From man apt-get:

check
check is a diagnostic tool; it updates the package cache and checks for broken
dependencies.

You may also run a normal fix on your packages to see whether anything is amiss:

sudo apt-get install -f

Report back if you get anything interesting out of those.
