[SOLVED] Rofi drun list is empty when run with keybindings.

Hi,

This is my first post so go hard on me so I can fit here. Just kidding

I have been using xfce4  DE with Arch. I have recently switched to qtile WM.
Then, when removing xfce4 package group using pacman, I had a need for a filemanager, so I installed pcmanfm.
While using that I have accidently deleted shortcuts from menu://applications/  <= Stupid mistake

Now my problem is when I use rofi -show drun with keybinding used inside qtile it shows an empty rofi menu prompt.
However when launching via terminal like alacritty it shows everything perfectly

I thought that maybe removing xfce was the reason for this so I resinstalled xfce4 again, but only those entries came in the keybinded rofi which installed newly with xfce4.

So i have understood that rofi running via qtile is taking some other source than when running via terminal.
my qtile config.

I just want to know which folder rofi takes input from when it runs with qtile so I can paste the previously installed programs desktop file there. Or if there is a menu generator which can take desktop entries from /usr/share/applications or ~/.local/share/applications and show in rofi that would be perfect.

1) I have searched the internet for this solution but did not find anything relevant.
2) I have tried using 'alacritty -e rofi -show drun' but rofi menu is blank as it was before.
3) I have used rofi output errors to a file but the file is empty
4) I have tried and applied a delay using sleep but that didn't work either.

All types of  criticism are appreciated.

Best,
dinodroid

Re: [SOLVED] Rofi drun list is empty when run with keybindings.

Could you run  

G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=Dialogs.DRun rofi -show drun

Re: [SOLVED] Rofi drun list is empty when run with keybindings.

Hello,

With this command, the rofi drun works meaning it shows desktop entries

Re: [SOLVED] Rofi drun list is empty when run with keybindings.

Before anyone asks here are my locale entries

 locale -a
C
en_US.utf8
POSIX
 localectl
 System Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
       VC Keymap: n/a
      X11 Layout: n/a

I have tried below command in qtile it didn't work either

rofi -show drun -drun-reload-desktop-cache

I have tried reinstalling rofi but no hope.

Re: [SOLVED] Rofi drun list is empty when run with keybindings.

Your locale entries don't matter for this and as seen running it from the terminal it shows the ' menu'  and gets is input. I would have expected 

~/.local/share/applications

instead of 

~/applications

but that seems okay.

you noted that 

alacritty -e rofi -show drun

does not sow any entry.

When you edit this to run rofi without any config does it work then?

alacritty -e rofi -show drun -no-config

btw any reason why your not using "dqtile-cmd"?

Re: [SOLVED] Rofi drun list is empty when run with keybindings.

Thanks for quick response.

Every command I mentioned works when  running in terminal but not when passed in qtile as keybinding. 
Same answer for 

alacritty -e rofi -show drun -no-config

As a qtile keybinding -show run and -show window works but -show drun shows no entry.
This happened recently as I mentioned, it was working before.

I prefer rofi over dqtile-cmd.

Re: [SOLVED] Rofi drun list is empty when run with keybindings.

This might help in figuring out the cause.

I just installed vlc just to get a new desktop entry.
now when using with qtile keybindings for 

rofi -show drun

only vlc appears.

and when using the same command in terminal "alacritty"  all desktop files appears in the list.

This concludes that new entries are shown in qtile keybinded environment not old at least for me.

Re: [SOLVED] Rofi drun list is empty when run with keybindings.

With this command, the rofi drun works meaning it shows desktop entries

But you ran it from the interactive shell, where stuff works anyway - did you?
What are the outputs of

printenv | grep XDG
tr '\0' '\n' < /proc/$(pgrep qtile)/environ | grep XDG

?

Also

ls -l ~/.local/share/applications ~/applications

Re: [SOLVED] Rofi drun list is empty when run with keybindings.

I ran the earlier mentioned command from the terminal "alacritty".

printenv | grep XDG

gives below output 

XDG_SESSION_PATH=/org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Session0
XDG_DATA_HOME=/home/dinodroid/
XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/home/dinodroid/.config
XDG_SEAT=seat0
XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP=qtile
XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11
XDG_GREETER_DATA_DIR=/var/lib/lightdm-data/dinodroid
XDG_SEAT_PATH=/org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Seat0
XDG_CACHE_HOME=/home/dinodroid/.cache
XDG_SESSION_CLASS=user
XDG_VTNR=7
XDG_SESSION_ID=2
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000
tr '\0' '\n' < /proc/$(\pgrep qtile)/environ | grep XDG

gives

bash: /proc//environ: No such file or directory

Result of 

ls -l ~/.local/share/applications ~/applications

is

Re: [SOLVED] Rofi drun list is empty when run with keybindings.

bash: /proc//environ: No such file or directory

Not \pgrep …
Is the output of

pgrep qtile

a number?

$XDG_DATA_HOME is set to your $HOME in the interactive shell. I assume it's ~/.local/share (or empty, defaulting to that location) in qtile and that's where you created overrides from pcmanfm that shadow and hide the desktop services.
The "ls" outputs support that theory.

Re: [SOLVED] Rofi drun list is empty when run with keybindings.

Hello Sir,
Thanks for quick response.
pgrep has an alias in my bashrc  

alias pgrep='pgrep --color=auto'

\pgrep runs original command instead of an alias since alias was giving me error.

as you wanted the result of 

pgrep qtile

is blank like with earlier command.

Re: [SOLVED] Rofi drun list is empty when run with keybindings.

I thought you're running a qtile session?

loginctl session-status

Re: [SOLVED] Rofi drun list is empty when run with keybindings.

Ah, qtile is a python script.
Try to user the actual PID 

tr '\0' '\n' < /proc/640/environ | grep XDG

or you could also use $(pgrep pcmanfm)

Re: [SOLVED] Rofi drun list is empty when run with keybindings.

The output is 

XDG_SESSION_PATH=/org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Session0
XDG_SEAT=seat0
XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP=qtile
XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11
XDG_GREETER_DATA_DIR=/var/lib/lightdm-data/dinodroid
XDG_SEAT_PATH=/org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Seat0
XDG_SESSION_CLASS=user
XDG_VTNR=7
XDG_SESSION_ID=2
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000

This output is same for pid of pcmanfm

Re: [SOLVED] Rofi drun list is empty when run with keybindings.

top-posting...

So as predicted, there's no XDG_DATA_HOME, the file in ~/.local/share/applications will hide the applications, the ones in ~/applications won't.
Move the former away, consider to replace the w/ the latter and figure why your interactive shell has that weird XDG_DATA_HOME export - it should probably apply to the session or not at all.

Re: [SOLVED] Rofi drun list is empty when run with keybindings.

Thanks for responding so quickly,

I have renamed ~/.local/share/applications to ~/.local/share/applications
Whoever have the same issue please move or delete ~/.local/share/applications  folder and rofi should work like mine.

And now the rofi drun menu is pointing to ~/applications for input

Now everything works as expected.
Thank you  @Archlin and @seth  for helping me through this. Much appreciated (y).
I am marking this post as solved.

This is a remaining issue you should address.

Also it's no general fix to simply delete ~/.local/share/applications - the files there augment the global /usr/share/applications and may contain custom settings for individual apps.
It's just that in your case the custom setting was: "hide this".
