[gentoo-user] xfce4 Filed to execute default File Manager

[Joseph]

I'm running xfce4.
When I try to click on Home folder I get: 

Filed to execute default File Manager
gutenprint (Permission denied).

Can you open a text console and try to start " gutenprint" from there?

If that works it's possibly something in xfce and someone else who uses that might be able to help.

If it doesn't. Can you give the results of the following 2 commands:
# which gutenprint
# ls -lsa <result of previous command>

It could be file permissions.

For some reason or another, during upgrade, setting in:
Application Menu --> Setting --> Preferred Applications
FileManger got changed to "gutenprint"

How did it happened, don't ask me.

In any case, Gutenprint is just a collection of drivers for printers (in
many cases used by Cups). Set that back to thunar or whatever file
manager you normally use.
