tough laurel It's shipped with executable shell script

I don't understand but any way to fix it?

Cuz when I run the app with the gearbox, the other instance has proper logo and stuff

Same issue I have with godot engine as well, installed it from website

tough laurel Dec 14, 2024, 3:07 PM

#

Wait let me check for godot

tough laurel Dec 14, 2024, 3:45 PM

#

@acoustic quail hey there

#

Godot3 is available in apt/software manager

#

Sadly godot4 is not avaiable in apt

#

I guess need to have distro like fedora or endeavour that provides latest packages

#

Ubuntu and debian provide older packages sadly

acoustic quail Dec 14, 2024, 3:47 PM

#

Ahh

#

But godot 4.3 I installed it runs

#

Properly

#

It's just the icon that's the problem

tough laurel Dec 14, 2024, 3:50 PM

#

Does that bothers you that much?

Ok, I figured it out. When you auto-create a menu entry (either through right-clicking on a portable app icon or after creating a desktop launcher") if you go to .local/share/applications in your home folder you see the created entry (screenshot 1) for some reason it is marked as executable.

If you remove the executable bit, it'll change it's name to <app name>.cinnamon-generated.desktop (screenshot 2)

if you rename it to <app name>.desktop (Waterfox.desktop in this case) it will stop spawning a new icon if you pin it to taskbar.

But it will show as <app name>.desktop in the menu (screenshot 3)

Might be a bug, or leftover from an earlier versions.
