[Live-demo] FW: GeoNetwork and LiveDVD

[Alex Mandel]

Simon,

Simply put, double clicking on the desktop icon just doesn't work. I
just built beta4 12 hours ago. The hmm, if it still says launchhelp that
might be the problem, it's launchassist which is actually a wrapper to a
sudo command in a file. Happens to be the only way I could get deegree
to launch too. It's not an issue with the command you had, it seems to
be a bug in the way desktop icons execute in xfce.

I'll test some more today, with beta4,

Alex

Also I don't really see the need to run with sudo as the installer script changes ownership of everything in /usr/lib/geonetwork to username user, group user - all of this makes me wonder whether wildintellect (Alex?) was running a version which did not contain these changes?

I assume launchhelp displays something helpful for the user before launching the start/stop scrips? Can someone point me at these?
