Firefox does not start on 4.2-rc3 after upgrading template #8571

feskehau · 2023-10-06T21:28:37Z

Qubes OS release

4.2-rc3

Brief summary

As of October 6th:
Firefox on Fedora-38-xfce does not start when selecting from app menu, works if started directly in VM terminal with command $ firefox. Noticed earlier today, had to reinstall to verify.

Suspect its the dbus or .desktop change:

In fact the changelog entries you cited are about fix for this issue. Unfortunately, the version 118.0.1-6 or 118.0.1-7 isn't in the repository yet. It's still building: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=2302654

Fedora bug report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2242454
Workaround in Qubes: QubesOS/qubes-core-agent-linux#463

GWeck · 2023-10-07T11:15:16Z

Thias also happens with qubes based on Fedora 38 under Qubes R4.1.2. Qubes based on Fedora 37 still start Firefox correctly via the menu.

Repost from the forum:

To fix the launcher problem right now, people can remove the line DBusActivatable=true in /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop on their Fedora TemplateVM.

Recent Fedora broke firefox.desktop, by setting DBusActivatable=true, while having invalid dbus name. Fallback to a classic launch if loading dbus object fails. Workaround for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2242454 Fixes QubesOS/qubes-issues#8571 Co-developed-with: Tobias Neitzel <tobias.neitzel@code-white.com> (cherry picked from commit 3c2c33e)
