Bug ID: 488232
Summary: local x-window app that still works from command line
no longer launches
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Application Launcher (Kickoff)
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: ga...@teledyn.com
CC: mikel5...@gmail.com, noaha...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
This is very new behaviour as of within the past few days. Clicking a launcher
for a local app will animate on click, but the app does not launch and no error
is reported.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. create a launcher with ~/.local/bin/xwin-prog given environment
XPROG=~/.xprog and parameters "--this='that'"
2. drag and drop the launcher on to the Panel
3. click the panel icon or the launcher icon to launch
OBSERVED RESULT
the icon on hover identifies the program, blue dots spin around it when it is
clicked, but the program no longer appears.
EXPECTED RESULT
this particular application opens a shell window and another graphic chart
display; interacting with the chart displays data in the shell.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows:
macOS:
Linux/KDE Plasma: Ubuntu Studio 24.04 X11 (not Wayland)
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.11
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.115.0
Qt Version:
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
when bash is given the command line
> XPROG=~/.xprog ~/.local/bin/xwin-prog --this='that'
the program displays as expected. to be fair, I haven't yet tested using a
different xwindows program, but this particular application is one I would
query frequently from the panel.
Editing the launcher, I noticed the environment variable assignment had been
quoted; I removed these, saved, but re-editing shows they were put back in. The
program parameters however are not shown as quoted.
