Re: [PLUG] Fixing broken link on Ubuntu (Gnome) desktop |
I don't know the answer, but maybe logout and log back in to the desktop (no reboot).

I've done that. Now the actual symlink works fine, but on the desktop the icon still has the X and doesn't open the spreadsheet. I don't see any obvious way in the UI to tell it to retry.I'm sure I could delete it and recreate it and it would be fine. I also feel confident that it will be fixed the next time I reboot. But seems like there must be some way to fix this short of doing that. Is this a bug, or am I missing something obvious?Walt___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug___________________________________________________________________________Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.orgAnnouncements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announceGeneral Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
