Cannot run GUI on PureOS 9 #227

Open ghost opened 4 years ago

ghost commented 4 years ago

I know PureOS is not a supported Linux distro for Kite. It is a Debian-derived distro so I am posting this in case anyone else has seen a similar problem.

I happily use Kite on my Mac. I was hoping things would go the same way with a Linux install.

The install goes fine. Everything is where the installer says it should be. However, when I try to launch it from the Applications menu, nothing happens.

If I right click the Application image and select details it shows the following error: Unable to find 'kite.desktop'.

kite.desktop is installed under /home/rick/.local/share/applications

The exec line is correct in kite.desktop. Exec=/home/rick/.local/share/kite/kited

I don't know much about GUIs or Gnome. I was hoping to find a properties file where I could specify the path to kite.desktop.

I uninstalled kite and re-installed it and the problem still exists.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you.

Given that PureOS is based on Debian, the fix for #233 may fix this as well.
