p.s. I also get this command line when I enter vlc mode.
VLC media player 0.8.6d Janus
[00000256] main interface: creating VLM
vlc[1328] : GLIB CRITICAL ** default - gtk_pizza_set_size
: assertion 'pizza != NULL' failed
Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Code:
nano /usr/share/applications/vlc.desktop
If you use vi type
Code:
vi /usr/share/applications/vlc.desktop
Type
Code:
:wq!
I don't know why that message is displaying, so I'll have to look into it more, but you should be able to run VLC from the launcher under Extras

bdogg64,
I loaded nano typed in: nano /usr/share/applications/vlc.desktop
can see Exec-vlc %U.
Now how do I edit it to remove '%U' ?
Like I said I'm new to command line editing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. lol Dan

Just go down to that line and backspace out the %U and save
After that, go back to the command line and type
Code:
cd /usr/share/applications
Code:
mv vlc.desktop hildon

bdogg64,
I've tried backspace and it just sends the pointer to another line way above the Exec=%U. Strange huh? O now can get curser to highlight 'E" in 'Exec=vlc %U'. It highlights the 'E' in 'Exec=vlc %U' but when I place the curser behind 'U' or any other letter for that matter the highlighted'E' in 'Exec=%U' is the letter that moves
Am I doing something wrong or did I miss a step?
Appreciate your help and patience. lol

dblank,
What is D-Pad? lol
Too funny.
I will be quite familiar with x-terminal by end of this edit.
Thanks for everyone's help. Hope others can learn from my experience. lol, Dan
P.S. Found D-Pad( for newbies like me it's the big button to left of screen on N800)!
Will now try to finish the changes that bdogg64 suggested. lol, Dan
