gnome-search-tool

[majnam2002]

I get this when I try to run teh search tool in gnome:

Cannot execute 'gnome-search-tool'

Details: Failed to execute child process "gnome-search-tool" (No such file or directory)

I also get it when I try to run other gnome utilities like:

Cannot execute 'gnome-screenshot'

Details: Failed to execute child process "gnome-screenshot" (No such file or directory)

Gnome-search-tool is not on the install list and is not on the remove list for yumex, so what is wrong with gnome and fc4 64?

Thanks in advance,

John

In the "Places" menu you should have a search for files item.

If you are trying to run this from a terminal, try using /sbin/ in front of the command, although in this case you would be better off using slocate.

Actually it was not there like it normally is, so I right clicked on the menu bar and selected "Add to Panel" then I went down the list and found the magnifying glass that represents gnome-search-tool and added it to the menu bar/panel. But when I click on it I get the error as I said above. Otherwise Gnome seems to work just some tools don't work.

Any ideas...?

Due to the handy -f query option for rpm I found that both these are in the gnome-utils package, which you should be sure you have.

Thanks for this tip. I had the same problem with gnome-screenshot and was solved after installation of the gnome-utils
