Bug Description

Ubuntu 13.10
ubuntu tweak 0.8.6-1~saucy1

in /usr/share/pyshared/ubuntutweak/admins/scripts.py line 39:

    if system.CODENAME == 'raring':
        user_dir = os.path.expanduser('~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts')
    else:
        user_dir = os.path.join(os.getenv('HOME'), '.gnome2', 'nautilus-scripts')

This is obviously a bug...which will make nautilus scripts setting with ubuntu tweak on 13.10 not working

it doesn't work i installed ubuntu 14.04 on vmware and installed ubuntu tweak 0.8.7 and it doesn't open at all when i try to open it so the add support to ubuntu 14.04 is not good enaf i guess.

@aviramof
Hi, could you please try to open ubuntu-tweak from terminal with command rather than from the launcher? Then copy the output in the terminal and paste it here. Let's see what happens.
For me it works well on my 14.04 (not in virtual machine).

it's weird. Seems a problem with the desktop file.
Try:
sudo rm /usr/share/applications/ubuntu-tweak.desktop OR sudo rm /usr/local/share/applications/ubuntu-tweak.desktop
sudo apt-get purge ubuntu-tweak
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-tweak

This is really weird...can be something related to the desktop file, if this just happens to ubuntu-tweak not to other apps in the launcher.

I think this might not be a problem of ubuntu-tweak.

check where is the desktop file, find all of them if there are multiple ones, they can be:
/usr/share/applications/ubuntu-tweak.desktop
/usr/local/share/applications/ubuntu-tweak.desktop
~/.local/share/applications/ubuntu-tweak.desktop
......

In terminal:
ls -hl PATH_TO_YOUR_DESKTOP_FILE
paste the output here.

Then:
sudo chmod a+x PATH_TO_YOUR_DESKTOP_FILE
see if the problem still exist.

Attach your desktop file here.

The first line: #!/usr/bin/env xdg-open should not be there. Simply remove it, then you can run it with the dedault 644 permission.

How excally am i suppose to delete it and then recreate a new desktop file?

since it works now, you can just left it there.
otherwise:
gksu gedit PATH_TO_YOUR_DESKTOP_FILE
modify it and save.
