App launching only from terminal not launcher

I have a app named Compiz Config Settings Manager. I can't launch it from the launcher. But the command used in the .desktop entry can launch just fine from the terminal. Here's the ccsm.desktop

Re: App launching only from terminal not launcher

What's the output of

pacman -Ql | grep ccsm

(given that you've installed it with pacman/makepkg)?

Re: App launching only from terminal not launcher

I would try and copy

/usr/share/applications/ccsm.desktop

to

~/.local/share/applications/ccsm.desktop

and remove/comment

Path=

sudo cp /usr/share/applications/ccsm.desktop ~/.local/share/applications

Still, can't launch from the launcher.

You don't need elevated privileges to copy to your $HOME - Did you comment the Path array inside the copied file?

Re: App launching only from terminal not launcher

Try the full path

Exec=/usr/bin/ccsm

Logout/Login again...

Same issue, there's no error when I launch from the terminal, though.

Re: App launching only from terminal not launcher

Try with a cleaned up 'ccsm.desktop'

Make sure to paste it cleanly

TIDE

One last thing you could try

Exec=/usr/bin/python /usr/bin/ccsm

Apart from that I've run out of ideas atm...

This didn't worked either. I've no idea where to look for now.

Check xorg's logs...

EDIT: Create a new

~/.local/share/applications/ccsm.desktop

with your user (not root) and squeaky clean contents...

I wish that would worked.

Re: App launching only from terminal not launcher

What if you disable the shipped .desktop file...

sudo mv -vi /usr/share/applications/ccsm.desktop /usr/share/applications/ccsm.desktop.orig

If nothing works, maybe ask the maintainer of the AUR package for support...
EDIT: or summon @seth

Re: App launching only from terminal not launcher

I can't launch it from the launcher.

Let's first establish what that actually means: does the entry not show up in the launcher or does it just fail to launch ccsm?

If it's there but doesn't launch, it's probably some environment thing:
Compare

printenv # environment of the interactive shell where ccsm starts
tr '\0' '\n' < /proc/$(pidof xfce4-session)/environ # environment of xfce4-session
