Addendum: I forgot to mention that this issue persists relogging and even restarting the machine post-reconfiguration. ________________________________ From: Mateus Oliveira <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, February 28, 2026 9:44 AM To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: KDE unable to update desktop entries and no icons for new applications
Hello help-guix, I just finished my first installation of GNU Guix and am currently experimenting with my setup, learning the ins and outs and such. However I am having some issues with KDE, which I picked in the guided installer to be my DE for the time being. It has become completely unable to show new application entries, with any new applications I install, be they added to my config.scm, my home configuration, or with `guix install'. Only a few apps are listed, that I think I added before I started experimenting with guix home. This wouldn't be that much of an issue as I plan to move from KDE to Niri or Sway later, which I'm more familiar with. That said, I have noticed that application launchers such as Fuzzel are able to show all the desktop entries in XDG_DATA_DIRS properly, but are unable to show icons for them. KDE is also unable to show icons for them in the task bar. What could be causing this? This is my first time using a mailing list too, so if I need to provide anything more, I can. Mateus
