None of my apps are showing after freshly installing Garuda Dragonized

AviTheTiger108 · 27 June 2024 00:52

I just installed Garuda Dragonized onto my computer for the first time, and after going through the whole process of setup and installing the apps I want, none of them are showing up on my applications menu–not even the default apps such as FireDragon (I’m posting this from another device since I can’t use any browsers).

I’m able to attach various widgets to the bottom bar, oddly enough. One such widget being the Konsole, so I’m able to use terminal commands at least. I tried to install one of the apps I chose from the menu, but the terminal told me that that app was already up to date.

I tried looking online for answers, but all I found were posts from three years ago talking about how their apps disappeared after installing a “DashToPanel” package.

Have you tried launching firedragon from the terminal? Should be able to do that just by typing it in to the window.

filo · 27 June 2024 04:35

Just for completeness, if konsole works, to provide your specs you can use

garuda-inxi | tb

and copy the generated URL here or take the info from the other device and copy them here.

SGS · 27 June 2024 05:16

Fresh install and update with garuda-update in terminal?
Sometimes on KDE just a restart solve this problems.

AviTheTiger108 · 28 June 2024 04:25

I tried that and it said “Your FireDragon profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible.”

AviTheTiger108 · 28 June 2024 04:27

I don’t know how to edit my post, so I’ll just post the url here, if that’s okay

https://termbin.com/jkrw

I should add that every time I type a command into the terminal, while the command works, I get an error afterwards that reads

For this maybe it could help

But i’m afraid there might be something else behind.
Additionally, a reboot is pending after the latest update.

Just in case…

AviTheTiger108 · 28 June 2024 13:56

Ok, I’ll try updating it again and then reboot it

Edit: Ok, I updated it via the terminal and I restarted the computer after it finished updating, and my apps are still not showing. If I try to manually install, say FireFox, it would tell me “FireFox is already installed” and when I try to run it form the terminal, it tells me “Your FireFox profile cannot be loaded.”

SGS · 28 June 2024 16:12

Please, post as text, how do you install the apps in terminal

Please post also log from

find $HOME ! -user $USER -type f

as text.

Did you look under 1/2 or 3?

AviTheTiger108 · 29 June 2024 01:20

The log from that command is as follows:

/home/garuda/.cache/mirrorstatus.json

(I had named the user profile “Garuda”)

And on that menu, I’m not seeing anything in area 3. I assume area 2 should list apps organized by area 1 and 3, but nothing is shown in area 2. “Favorites” doesn’t show anything in area 2 and neither does “All Apps”

Should I try redownloading Garuda and making another bootable drive? What settings should I use in Rufus for the best possible outcome?

Edit: I had forgotten this, but I’d install my apps from the terminal via

pacman install [app name]

I tried using

sudo pacman -S [app name]

Before I posted this, but it went through the whole process of downloading (I used firefox again) and then overwriting the package.

nepti · 29 June 2024 13:15

How did you install the apps, with the “Garuda Setup Assistant”? Which apps did you install?

That means the application is already installed.

You only write that firedragon and firefox don’t open, what about other apps?
Can you open kate using the terminal?

kate

Can you open dolphin using krunner (Alt+Space/Alt+F2)?

Can you open other apps (apart from the console) from the bottom bar?

Right-click on the Application Launcher icon → Edit Applications. Is anything displayed there? For example:

AviTheTiger108 · 29 June 2024 15:06

I installed the apps through the “Garuda Setup Assisstant”. I can’t remember all the apps I downloaded, but I do remember I downloaded librewolf, firefox, and wine.

Typing ‘wine’ into the terminal brings up the ‘Usage: wine PROGRAM [ARGUMENTS…]’ menu, at least.

Typing ‘kate’ into the terminal brings up a “Kate” window, so I guess it works?

I don’t know what krunner is, so I don’t have anything to use as a point of reference, but pressing that key combination brings up search bar that hovers over everything else on the desktop. On the very left of this dialogue, there is a settings button that, when I hover over it, displays the text “KRunner”. Is that it?

I did type “dolphin” into that search bar and an option labeled “Command Line >= Run dolphin” popped up. When I clicked it, a window labeled “/home/garuda – Dolphin” appeared.

I also played around with that search bar a little. I type in a random phrase until it wanted to search the Internet for it. Once I clicked the prompt to open DuckDuckGo, however, a windows labeled “Choose Application – KIO Client” appeared and… there was nothing for me to choose from in that dialogue’s drop-down…

After the install finished and I booted up Garuda and was going through the setup, all the icons on the bottom bar were just weird little [?] icons that did nothing when I clicked them. I right clicked each one and removed them from that area.

Clicking on “Edit Applications” after right-clicking the Application Launcher does absolutely nothing–it doesn’t even bring up that windows you showed.

FGD · 29 June 2024 15:38

There is bug on some installations about that, not too sure yet where that bug belongs, I think KDE.
However being super small should not prevent them from launching apps.

That’s a problem.

nepti · 29 June 2024 16:22

The applications are all installed, can be started via terminal and krunner and seem to work (except for the browser).

This is krunner
Try switching the global theme to Breeze, use kruner:

Then reboot and test whether the application launcher is working correctly.

AviTheTiger108 · 30 June 2024 01:36

I changed the theme to Breeze via KRunner and rebooted my system as you had instructed, and nothing changed.

SGS · 30 June 2024 07:19

You did not answer

But

Linux is case-sensitive and in your log it is not garuda it was named gardua.

Just check if the live ISO works out of the box. Make a fresh install and check the apps (firedragon) and menus without using or installing other apps.
I have best results with ventoy.net

AviTheTiger108 · 30 June 2024 16:51

The log from that is

/home/garuda/.cache/mirrorstatus.json

That was a mistake on my part when I was copying the log to the forum, since I have to type everything manually. The correct message is

Unable to create log dir “/home/garuda/.cache/starship/”: 0s { code: 13, kind: PermissionDenied, message: “Permission Denied” }!

My apologies.

The Live ISO works out of the box. I was able to open up FireDragon and search up images and even watch some anime. I did not know what that website was though so I made the bootable drive through Rufus and I only realize what you meant when you suggested that site when I opened it in FireDragon.

I did a fresh install as you said and the first thing I noticed is that all the icons at the bottoms weren’t replaced with weird [?] symbols like before. I immediately checked the application menu, and not only were there app categories other than “Favorites” and “All Applications”, each one was populated with different apps. I was able to open FireDragon and browse like normal. At this point, I removed the bootable usb and I restarted the computer. Upon boot up, everything was fine. I was able to browse the Internet via FireDragon, all the apps were there. I even used the setup assistant to install wine and bottles.

Thanks for your help!
