Created attachment 158116 [details] Can't launch Peek on Fedora STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. On a system without Peek, install it from Discover 2. (Notice the quoted size is a few hundred KB, but if you install it on a fresh system, the installation will take far longer that would be warranted for a few hundred KB; I guess this is due to installing Flatpak?) 3. Attempt to launch Peek from the Application Launcher SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 37 KDE spin, Wayland KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.104.0 Qt Version: 5.15.8
Cannot reproduce with Peek when installed from Flatpak, but I can reproduce with Peek when installed from Fedora packages. I can also reproduce the issue with Gedit when installed from distro packages. In both cases, when I launch the app from Kickoff or KRunner, I see the same error message you do. When I launch the app in a terminal window, either directly or with `kstart`, it launches. In Discover when I try to launch the app, I see an error message: QString::arg: 2 argument(s) missing in com.uploadedlobster.peek [for Peek] QString::arg: 2 argument(s) missing in org.gnome.gedit [for Gedit] Focusing on Peek for a moment, the .desktop files for the app installed via both methods are almost identical: diff /usr/share/applications/com.uploadedlobster.peek.desktop /var/lib/flatpak/app/com.uploadedlobster.peek/current/active/export/share/applications/com.uploadedlobster.peek.desktop 30c30 < Exec=peek --- > Exec=/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=peek com.uploadedlobster.peek 112a113 > X-Flatpak=com.uploadedlobster.peek This is feeling like a KIO ApplicationLaunchJob bug; moving there.
Can't reproduce this at all. The error message suggests it happens while trying to launch the apps via DBus activation, which both Peek and Gedit say they support in their desktop file
Now that Bug 468298 is fixed for me, I can't reproduce the issue here anymore. I suspect that Dan is suffering from a similar local configuration issue. Dan, have you by any chance ever compiled KDE software from source? Does the folder /opt/kde-dbus-scripts/ exist on disk? Also, can you run `grep -ri XDG_DATA_DIRS ~` in a terminal window and paste the output here?
