Description Dan Dascalescu 2023-01-23 04:11:20 UTC
I've just installed Krusader in Kubuntu 22 using "an Appstream store" per https://krusader.org/. Discover shows a "▶ Launch" button, but clicking it doesn't launch Krusader

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In Discover, find Krusader
2. Click the ▶Launch button

OBSERVED RESULT
The mouse cursor gets the Krusader tooltip, the taskbar shows a spinner around the Krusader icon for ~3 seconds, then the icon disappears. Krusader does not launch.

EXPECTED RESULT
Launch Krusader. I can do this via the Super menu. The command in the applications menu is `krusader -qwindowtitle %c %u`.

That means Discover did actually try to launch the app, but either it crashed on launch, or was already running in the background, so the attempt to launch it again failed with no ui (boo). Moving to Krusader for further investigation.

Tried to reproduce, Krusader doesn't even show up in Discover, so I can't even try.

Operating System: Kubuntu 23.10
