I am wondering if a Qubes member can have a look at this. I have a problem with Krusader not working properly on a Fedora appVM. In short, if I open Krusader from cli and then I open a file in Krusader the file does not open, instead a dialog window is given in which I must choose which program to use to open the file. This is an endless loop. Error messages I see on cli that I think is the problem is,

"warning kf.service.services unknown@0 # KServiceFactory: unexpected object entry in KSycoca database (type= 305 )"

After some digging I found this [article](https://userbase.kde.org/KDE_System_Administration/Caches) that tells me the KSysoca database is built using "kbuildsycoca5" which is provided by the already installed package "kf5-kservice".

However, when I manually try and build the database using "kbuildsysoca5" I get an error,

"[user@fedora-xx ~]$ kbuildsycoca5 --noincremental
kbuildsycoca5 running...
"applications.menu"  not found in  ("/etc/xdg/menus")" <--------------------

What does this complaint about "applications.menu" not found in "/etc/xdg/menus" mean?

If I compare the folder contents of /etc/xdg/menus between Fedora-37 and Debian-11, the Fedora template has everything the Debian template has with a few more entries. And neither Fedora nor Debian has "applications.menu".

The command completes without errors on Debian-11, and Krusader on Debian works as expected.

"user@debian-11:~$ kbuildsycoca5 --noincremental
kbuildsycoca5 running...
user@debian-11:~$"


For anybody else perhaps struggling with Krusader on Fedora, to fix this really annoying issue is to create a applications.menu ymbolic link from /etc/xdg/menus/ (in the template).

sudo ln -s /etc/xdg/menus/kf5-applications.menu /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu
