virt-manager is the name of a binary on disk? Yes. It is a desktop application for managing virtual machines. http://virt-manager.et.redhat.com/ It works running it from konsole. And I'm able to tab-complete the name in bash. This issue partly still exists in 4.2RC1 (installed from kubuntu-experimental):
Typing "virt" in Krunner gives you virt-manager and some other apps containing the keyword (like VirtualBox or virtual desktop kcm-modul).
If I type further and enter the hyphen ("virt-"), all hits, including virt-manager, disappear. This is not the case in kickoffs search form. Also "virt-manager" is in PATH and therefore can be launched if I enter the full name "virt-manager" into Krunner.
The command-line runner does not return partial matches i.e. it will not give a result unless you type in the whole command to obtain a result. As for the virt/virt- issue, the match for "virt" is probably done by the Services runner, which performs partial matches for the _name_ of the application (not the name of the binary file). The name is stored in the corresponding .desktop file usually in /usr/share/applications and it is probably "virtual manager" or something. That's why the match disappears when you type "virt-" This would explain the reported behaviour. *** Bug 173257 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I think this bug can be closed. The binary name is "virt-manager" The desktop file entry is "Virtual Machine Manager" So IMHO no reason to show a match for 'virt-manage' Please re-open if you think different. I think it's silly not getting the result "virt-manager" when explicitly typing "virt-ma" or something like it. But I'm not the person to decide whether this report should be open or not. SVN commit 1016090 by aseigo: match against the Exec= line; let's see how that goes.
