I have three .desktop entries in /usr/share/applications for browsers: > ls -al /usr/share/applications/chromium-browser.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12559 Jun 2 20:39 /usr/share/applications/chromium-browser.desktop > ls -al /usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8445 Jul 18 21:23 /usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop > ls -al /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9177 Jun 6 07:37 /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop Firefox and Chrome appear perfectly well in the application menu. Chromium does not, and cannot be searched for; I can only launch it from the terminal. It shows up in gnome and unity's menus. Reproducible: Always
Can you paste the chromium-browser.desktop file? Perhaps it's marked as "not show in kde" or something like that.
Created attachment 100523 [details] Chromium desktop file Thanks for looking into this. I've attached it.
Thanks. Interesting, my /usr/share/applications/chromium-browser.desktop is identical to yours and mine shows up in both Kickoff and KRunner just fine :/ Can you check whether it shows up in (right click Application Launcher) → Edit Applications and there in the "Internet" category? Also, can you check whether you don't (somehow) created a chromium-browser.desktop in ~/.local/share/applications, files in there take precedence over system-wide installed ones?
Chromium shows fine for me in Middle click on Desktop menu and in Kickoff in: Distribution: KDE neon Developer Edition Unstable Branches KDE Plasma Version: 5.10.90 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.37.0 Qt Version: 5.9.1 Kernel Version: 4.10.0-32-generic
Issue still exists for me with fresh install. Chromium shows for me in: Unity Gnome i3/dmenu i3/roti Chromium does not show in plasma launcher, either by search or looking in the internet section. The relevant section of /usr/share/applications/chromium-browser.desktop is: ``` Exec=chromium-browser %U Terminal=false X-MultipleArgs=false Type=Application Icon=chromium-browser Categories=Network;WebBrowser; MimeType=text/html;text/xml;application/xhtml_xml;x-scheme-handler/http;x-scheme-handler/https; StartupNotify=true Actions=NewWindow;Incognito;TempProfile; X-AppInstall-Package=chromium-browser ```
Here is mine /usr/share/applications/chromium-browser.desktop file: [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Name=Chromium Web Browser GenericName=Web Browser Comment=Access the Internet Exec=chromium-browser %U Terminal=false X-MultipleArgs=false Type=Application Icon=chromium-browser Categories=Network;WebBrowser; MimeType=text/html;text/xml;application/xhtml_xml;x-scheme-handler/http;x-scheme-handler/https; StartupNotify=true Actions=NewWindow;Incognito;TempProfile; X-AppInstall-Package=chromium-browser [Desktop Action NewWindow] Name=Open a New Window Exec=chromium-browser [Desktop Action Incognito] Name=Open a New Window in incognito mode Exec=chromium-browser --incognito [Desktop Action TempProfile] Name=Open a New Window with a temporary profile Exec=chromium-browser --temp-profile
Chromium has now moved to a snap for Ubuntu based distributions so that's what I've installed and it's showing in my menu with latest Plasma from git master. Can you please test and confirm if this is still an issue, thanks.
