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

🤔

autumn (CIPG)OP•3mo ago

it works fine when opening it from the terminal

🎄 Asterisk•3mo ago

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

autumn (CIPG)OP•3mo ago

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

🎄 Asterisk•3mo ago

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

autumn (CIPG)OP•3mo 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?

autumn (CIPG)OP•3mo 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)

autumn (CIPG)OP•3mo 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
