Desktop entry fails to get created on Arch AUR install #2534

Closed croots closed 2 weeks ago

croots commented 3 weeks ago

Describe the bug

After stalling Spacedrive on AUR, no spacedrive.desktop file is created on the filesystem. sudo find . -name spacedrive.desktop from / fails to return anything. This prevents launchers from finding the program.

I may just be bad at using github's search functionality, but I can't find an example of the desktop file so I can't manually drop it in either.

I'm running Arch Linux and paru which would be the relevant software. I think the desktop file should be getting created regardless of my environment, but currently I'm on hyprland with no desktop environment as this is a recent distro hop.

Similar to #1475 except no file actually exists

Reproduction

  1. Install Spacedrive via paru -S spacedrive
  2. Observe missing spacedrive.desktop file

Expected behavior

spacedrive.desktop is created in ./usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop during installation. An example file exists in the documentation for manual workarounds.

Platform and versions

9.1.4

rustc 1.78.0 (9b00956e5 2024-04-29) (Arch Linux rust 1:1.78.0-1)

Hey @croots, the AUR release of Spacedrive is made by a third party and not official. I ask that you report this issue to the maintainer of the package. Currently, only Debian-based Linux distros are officially supported. We are currently working on a flatpak release and an official release for Arch Linux based distros is planned, but not a priority.
