So I have been asking over at the Softmaker forum and so far nothing has been figured out, I was wondering if someone here had maybe a similar problem with an unrelated app and perhaps a fix, so whenever I install Softmaker Office and launch one of the applications, all the terminals launch in usr/share/softmakeroffice2021, unless opened from a folder in caja, I don't think it is very serious, but it is a very annoying bug, so just wondering if anybody had any ideas
Did you check your bash config files (~/.bash*
), eg. I'd look for a change made by Softmaker's office in ~./bashrc
etc (such as the inclusion of a cd /usr/share/softmakeroffice2021
type command)
I'd likely look for changes made at the time of the install of your softmaker office package too if it wasn't a setting in ~/.bash* somwhere.
So far I can't find anything in bash, where would I look for changes made at the time of install, i have uninstalled and reinstalling including purging and it's the same results
You didn't provide release details, which may have caused me to grab an ISO of a like release & explore using defaults in a live session (my setup is heavily modified & wasn't even a Ubuntu-MATE install; Ubuntu MATE being the 4th desktop I added to it, so I avoid looking at my box as to what is expected if I can help it). I mentioned ~/.bashrc
as it's what existed on my current system, but is one of 5 like files I'd look for, thus the .bash*
I used (though my .bash*
included .profile
in my mind so you'd likely have never have guessed that sorry!).
By searching for files modified by install, I was thinking of find -mtime
, as whilst you can look at what files are located within a deb package, what changes are made by the post-installation script require you to generally examine the script itself (which maybe as easy as the find -mtime
anyway).
I have no experience with Softmaker Office sorry, so what I provided was my thoughts only (ie. where I'd probably look first).
