Problem description

When I start lvim with the desktop file it is erroring.

I have no issues starting lvim with the desktop file using Xterm.

I have no issues starting lvim by running it in xfce4-terminal.

Steps to reproduce

Unsure how reproducible this is.

1. Clone the repo.
2. Run the install script.
3. Opt in to missing dependencies.
4. Add the install folder to path.
5. Set default terminal in i3wm in .profile.
6. Reboot.
7. Comment TryExec line in the .desktop file to have it show in Rofi.
8. Run lvim from Rofi.

when did you last install the desktop file? it might be worth it re-executing create_desktop_file() from the installer, or at least checking that xdg-desktop-menu works fine for you.

LunarVim/utils/installer/install.sh

Lines 455 to 467 in e85637c

	function create_desktop_file() {
	# TODO: Any other OSes that use desktop files?
	([ "$OS" != "Linux" ] || ! command -v xdg-desktop-menu &>/dev/null) && return
	echo "Creating desktop file"
	for d in "$LUNARVIM_BASE_DIR"/utils/desktop/*/; do
	size_folder=$(basename "$d")
	mkdir -p "$XDG_DATA_HOME/icons/hicolor/$size_folder/apps/"
	cp "$LUNARVIM_BASE_DIR/utils/desktop/$size_folder/lvim.svg" "$XDG_DATA_HOME/icons/hicolor/$size_folder/apps"
	done
	xdg-desktop-menu install --novendor "$LUNARVIM_BASE_DIR/utils/desktop/lvim.desktop" || true
	}

I installed it on Tuesday and it did not show up in Rofi, so I had to comment out the TryExec line.

Looks like xdg-desktop-menu is working fine for me:

~ $: xdg-desktop-menu
   xdg-desktop-menu -- command line tool for (un)installing
   desktop menu items

Synopsis

   xdg-desktop-menu install [--noupdate] [--novendor] [--mode
   mode] directory-file(s) desktop-file(s)

   xdg-desktop-menu uninstall [--noupdate] [--mode mode]
   directory-file(s) desktop-file(s)

   xdg-desktop-menu forceupdate [--mode mode]

   xdg-desktop-menu { --help | --manual | --version }

Use 'man xdg-desktop-menu' or 'xdg-desktop-menu --manual' for additional info.

did you resolve this? otherwise, it might a problem with your rofi'e config/environment.
