Gnome Terminal Not Available Even Though Indexed Via Applications Extension

[davidjmeier]

Description New install of Linux Mint 20.2 (UMA) with new installation of Albert 0.17.2. Albert seems to index the Gnome Terminal application but it is not available to launch.

Expected behavior Other Gnome applications (Screenshot, Calculator) are available via the Albert launcher, there seems to be something preventing Gnome Terminal (terminal) from being available. Expected behavior is such that when typing terminal the Gnome Terminal application is the first option. Moving over from Synapse on new installation where this previously worked.

Steps to reproduce Enabled Applications including Additionally use keywords for lookup. Albert states 100 applications indexed, however gnome-terminal (default terminal application) is not available for launch. From the desktop entry keywords should also include: Keywords=shell;prompt;command;commandline;cmd;. None are available to launch the application. Deleted ~/.config/albert and modified /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Terminal.desktop to include Terminal=false, however upon restart and reconfiguration Gnome Terminal still fails to be indexed. Validated permissions are identical to other desktop entries. When running albert from CLI the output states 09:37:38 [debg:apps] Indexing desktop file: org.gnome.Terminal.desktop was indexed.

[ManuelSchneid3r]

So gnome terminal does not show up if you type "term"?

[davidjmeier]

That is correct @ManuelSchneid3r.

[davidjmeier]

@ManuelSchneid3r no. It's my understanding that Albert should give Gnome Terminal as an option to launch based on the name and/or keywords that I have setup. I cannot get Gnome Terminal to be available regardless of what I input into Albert. Albert seems to index the desktop file, however I cannot get it to present it as an option. Is there any way I can gather additional debug?

[davidjmeier]

Here's a screencap of the behavior @ManuelSchneid3r:

[ManuelSchneid3r]

Did you check the ignore NoDisplay Box?

[davidjmeier]

I deleted ~/.config/albert again to validate nothing I had changed was impacting the results. I've never checked the Ignore OnlyShowIn/NotShowIn keys option. However, when doing that Gnome-Terminal now becomes an option. I hadn't made any other changes - this is a completely fresh installation of the OS and Albert, so I'm not entirely sure what that option is really even doing - I'll have to look into it. Is this expected behavior?

And to clarify - the Ignore OnlyShowIn/NotShowIn keys is not checked by default. I had to check it for Gnome-Terminal to show up as an option.

[ManuelSchneid3r]

This is indeed intended behavior. Conform to the freedesktop desktop entry specification.
