Weird issues trying to boot up gtkcord4

[Vrtgs]

Trying to boot up from the .desktop file fails and gives me a: The name so.libdb.gtkcord4 was not provided by any .service files although using it from the comand line works

installed from gtkcord4-git on the AUR

Same issue, came here from the AUR as a request to put this upstream. It was suggested to me to rename /usr/share/applications/so.libdb.gtkcord4.desktopto /usr/share/applications/gtkcord4.desktop; that caused the error popup to go away but gtkcord4 still doesn't open.

Calling gtkcord4 from the command line works fine regardless of the name of that folder, though.

KDE versions are the same as yours except Qt is at 5.15.11, and since I'm on Manjaro my kernel is 6.1.55-1-MANJARO.

gtkcord4-git appears to be out of date on this line?

@diamondburned That's how the AUR's -git packages are. The pkgver is not bumped until there is a breaking change. It builds the latest version and updates the $pkgver when installing correctly.

I was hoping you would know what that KDE based error is, because I'm unable to find how to rectify it. Launching from the desktop file works fine in other DEs.

Worth noting that I'm having the issue with all three AUR packages, not just gtkcord4-git. Currently I'm using just gtkcord4.

[txtsd]

That's why I suggested reporting upstream (here). The arch packages just (build and) package the provided files. And this issue seems exclusive to KDE.

[diamondburned]

Oh, I didn't notice the KDE. We have a KDE-related issue in #119, maybe that's related? I don't really know what's going on in KDE either.

[Vrtgs]

Yeah I really don't get what KDE is waffling. and even trying to get around this with this desktop file, causes plasma to crash and restart

I'm closing the issue here and opening on upstream to plasma
