Description Pascal d'Hermilly 2008-06-26 14:33:01 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.0.83)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

krunner can't find virt-manager with string "virt-manage" unless you typed it before.
Comment 1 Aaron J. Seigo 2008-06-26 21:39:10 UTC 
virt-manager is the name of a binary on disk?
Comment 2 Pascal d'Hermilly 2008-06-27 11:15:44 UTC 
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.
Comment 3 Dominik Tritscher 2009-01-24 18:32:11 UTC 
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.
Comment 4 Jacopo De Simoi 2009-03-19 18:51:13 UTC 
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.

Comment 6 Elias Probst 2009-08-27 00:23:41 UTC 
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.
Comment 7 Pascal d'Hermilly 2009-08-27 01:53:37 UTC 
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.

match against the Exec= line; let's see how that goes.
