Sorry, couldn't confirm. Just installed gnome-chess and launched it from nwg-drawer with no issue.
This may be a distribution problem. I am running debian and gnome chess is installed to /usr/games. The problem seems to be around games so things installed to /usr/games. However /usr/games is in my path
The drawer takes the exec name (or full path) from the .desktop file. Check your /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Chess.desktop
file.
[Desktop Entry]
(...)
Exec=gnome-chess %U
On my side it's just the name, w/o path. This means that the gnome-chess
binary location must be included in your $PATH
environment variable.
Check the binary location:
$ command -v gnome-chess
/usr/bin/gnome-chess
And then if it's on your path:
$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl
The question is whether you .desktop file specifies just the name, w/o a path different from /usr/games/
.
on my side it is just the path gnome-chess as well
[Desktop Entry]
(...)
Exec=gnome-chess %U
Path for excuteable
$ command -v gnome-chess
/usr/games/gnome-chess
My path
$ echo $PATH
/home/matuck/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
However, if I put a sysmlink from /usr/games/gnome-chess to /usr/local/bin/gnome-chess, it works fine.
Strange. I haven't seen Ubuntu for years. Can't install to check it myself, as I'm on vacation, with an ancient laptop and a slow Internet connection only. :/
will keep working at it to see if i find a solution and will post here if i do.
Excellent.
looks to be a problem with gdm. If I stop gdm and login to console then run sway it works fine some something in the way gdm is launching sway
Looks like a step forward. For sway and Hyprland sddm is a decent choice. Or you may just start with sway
from the command line.
Works fine with sddm. Just in case anyone else runs across a similar problem.
When lauching certain apps the the app doesnt launch for excample if I launch gnome-chess it will not launch if loading from sway config use either alt+f1 or the icon on the panel. If I kill all nwg-drawer applications and launch nwg-drawer from terminal it works as expected.
