Bug ID: 488193
Summary: Cannot create or launch dynamic launchers created with
Flatpak portal
Classification: Plasma
Product: xdg-desktop-portal-kde
Version: 5.27.11
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: eye...@codelogistics.net
CC: aleix...@kde.org, jgrul...@redhat.com, n...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
In Flatpak applications which can install custom desktop launchers at run time
using the Dynamic Launcher portal, trying to install a launcher using the
portal fails, and a notification saying 'Portal closed unexpectedly' appears.
Specifically, the call to dynamic_launcher_prepare_install_finish() fails.
Launchers created in GNOME fail to launch as well, with a notification saying
'you are not authorised to execute this file.' The launcher, located at
~/.local/share/applications/name.desktop, is a symlink to
~/.local/share/xdg-desktop-portal/applications/name.desktop which is not
executable by when created by the portal in GNOME. Making this file executable
solves the problem.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install https://flathub.org/apps/net.codelogistics.webapps
2. Click on add new web app and install any website
OBSERVED RESULT
The dialog to install the launcher does not appear, the launcher is not
installed and a notification saying 'Portal closed unexpectedly' appears.
EXPECTED RESULT
The portal's inerface asks to install the launcher and the launcher gets
installed.
