Host Chromium won't show in Junction flatpak #3

Closed sonnyp closed 2 years ago

sonnyp commented 2 years ago

When running Junction as a flatpak, Chromium is listed if it's installed as a flatpak but not if it's installed on the host.

The problem doesn't appear to be related to Exec or TryExec.

This is also reproducible with Firefox, in which it will only be listed if it's installed as a Flatpak. If installed on the host, it won't appear in Junction's selection menu.

Only Firefox won't show up or both Firefox and Firefox Developer Edition ?

Could you share the .desktop files?

/usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop and /usr/share/applications/firefox-developer-edition.desktop

sonnyp commented 2 years ago

Do you have Firefox / Firefox Developer Edition installed as flatpaks as well?

Junction de-duplicates apps if they have the same id - that would be the cause of your issue.

Nevermind - I found the problem with Firefox / Firefox Develper Edition on Arch. Exec points to /usr/lib/firefox/firefox which isn't available in the sandbox.

$ cat /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Firefox
...
Exec=/usr/lib/firefox/firefox %u
...
$ cat /usr/bin/firefox
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/lib/firefox/firefox "$@"

Fixed in Junction 1.1.0 - should be available on flathub shortly.
