Programs in containers won't launch from .desktop file

I don't think I've changed anything, but programs in containers now won't launch from their .desktop file. I can still run them from my shell. .desktop file:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Visual Studio Code (container fedora)
Comment=Code Editing. Redefined.
GenericName=Text Editor
Exec=blend enter -cn fedora -- /usr/share/code/code %F
Icon=./code.
Type=Application
StartupNotify=false
StartupWMClass=Code
Categories=TextEditor;Development;IDE;
MimeType=application/x-code-workspace;
Actions=new-empty-window;
Keywords=vscode;

[Desktop Action new-empty-window]
Name=New Empty Window (container fedora)
Name[de]=Neues leeres Fenster (container fedora)
Name[es]=Nueva ventana vacía (container fedora)
Name[fr]=Nouvelle fenêtre vide (container fedora)
Name[it]=Nuova finestra vuota (container fedora)
Name[ja]=新しい空のウィンドウ (container fedora)
Name[ko]=새 빈 창 (container fedora)
Name[ru]=Новое пустое окно (container fedora)
Name[zh_CN]=新建空窗口 (container fedora)
Name[zh_TW]=開新空視窗 (container fedora)
Exec=blend enter -cn fedora -- /usr/share/code/code --new-window %F
Icon=./code.

Nothing is displayed when opening it via rofi, but opening the .desktop file with xdg-open displays the attached error message: ("Unable to connect to libvirt with URI: [none].")

Solution:

Remember vscode installs to /opt?

this is in a fedora container

🤔

hanna (password generator)OP•2mo ago

it works fine when opening it from the terminal

🎄 Asterisk•2mo ago

Try changing the command to code.fedora Code. Whatever the name of the container is

hanna (password generator)OP•2mo ago

ope, sorry, had to go and forgot to check back in i tried that too, safe thing

🎄 Asterisk•2mo ago

idk what libvirt has to do with this try removing the capital letters from StartupWMClass and idk why ./code. is the icon

hanna (password generator)OP•2mo ago

alright, i'll give it a try in a bit @ﾑ丂ｲ乇尺ﾉ丂ズ alright, so apparently i'm a slight idiot xdg-open thinks it's something libvirt related opening it with gtk-launch works properly doing it via rofi fails and via rofi, code.fedora isn't in the PATH oh this might be related to another issue i forgot to report when running code, or anything in the container, in bash, i get this:

[askiiart@blend ~]$ code.fedora
Error: crun: error opening file `/run/user/10002/crun/c671e873577b7a5c08f1a24cd8a348e5eea99ed55b8465340bbc0aad0ace3c1d/status`: No such file or directory: OCI runtime attempted to invoke a command that was not found

it works fine in fish, though

That’s odd It is in your PATH though Wayland can use xdg-open?

hanna (password generator)OP•2mo ago

yeah afaik maybe something else is symlinked to it i know some xdg-open replacements do that i haven't looked yep, it's xdg-open (this also happens with user shell $container)

hanna (password generator)OP•2mo ago

i just don't update that often since it takes half an hour and makes it nigh unusable for a decent chunk of it since my chromebook is too weak to do it well lol i should probably run blendos on a different computer, for now at least
