bOSKEhi, i have problems with desktop icons when i click icons on desktop, it open it with kate i don't know how to change it to start apps?12:14
kirvesAxeWell that sounds strange12:17
kirvesAxebOSKE, have you tried right-clicking the app icons and seeing what options are in the menu?12:17
bOSKE@kirvesAxe, yes i clicked in desktop right click on properties12:19
bOSKEand it writes Open With: Kate12:19
BluesKajHi all12:19
bOSKEwhen i try to start some desktop icons it just shows some icon and nothing happens12:20
diogenes_Vx15bOSKE, what is the output of: xdg-mime query filetype ~/Desktop/Launcher.desktop12:21
bOSKE@diogenes_Vx15, xdg-mime: file '/home/boske/Desktop/Launcher.desktop' does not exist12:22
diogenes_Vx15bOSKE, instead of Launcher.desktop you need to specify the icon that doesn't work.12:23
diogenes_Vx15run: ls /home/boske/Desktop12:23
diogenes_Vx15and you will see those files.12:23
bOSKEboske@boske-komp:~$ xdg-mime query filetype ~/Desktop/discord_discord.desktop12:23
bOSKEapplication/x-desktop12:23
diogenes_Vx15and now: xdg-mime query default application/x-desktop12:25
bOSKE@diogenes_Vx15, i dont get output from that command12:27
bOSKEbut again it doesn't work12:27
diogenes_Vx15bOSKE, if you don't get output from that command that's bad.12:27
diogenes_Vx15you don't have a mimetype set up for desktop files.12:28
bOSKEwhat should i do?12:28
bOSKEboske@boske-komp:~$ xdg-mime query default application/x-desktop12:28

diogenes_Vx15run: update-mime-database /opt/kde/share/mime12:33
bOSKEDirectory '/opt/kde/share/mime/packages' does not exist!12:33
BluesKajxdg-open is a snap and flatpak app12:33
diogenes_Vx15update-mime-database /usr/share/mime12:33

diogenes_Vx15bOSKE, don't paste here in the chat12:51
diogenes_Vx15run: cat ~/.config/mimeapps.list | nc termbin.com 999912:51

diogenes_Vx15run: mv ~/.config/mimeapps.list ~/.config/mimeapps.list.bak12:56
diogenes_Vx15then: mv ~/.config/kiorc ~/.config/kiorc.bak12:56
diogenes_Vx15the log out12:56
bOSKE@diogenes_Vx15, its the same12:59
diogenes_Vx15bOSKE, ok that's an anomaly, is such cases i go with an atomic approach, i create a brand new user and login as the new user and if everything works there, then the problem is definitely somewhere in your /home/username, if not, then something is broken in system libraries.13:01
diogenes_Vx15if you want you can create a new user and try it.13:02
bOSKEi will try it now13:02
bOSKEon other user its the same13:06
bOSKEcant start desktop icons13:06
bOSKEtnx anyway13:07
diogenes_Vx15then something is broken on your system, run: ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/13:08
diogenes_Vx15it's there are many lines don't paste them here13:08
bOSKEdont get output13:08
diogenes_Vx15ok then you didn't add any PPAs which might break something, but can you rememember after what actions/updates it stopped working?13:10
bOSKEi just installed new system13:10
bOSKEand did update after install13:10
bOSKEi think it worked before update13:10
diogenes_Vx15did you reboot after update?13:11
bOSKEyes13:11
diogenes_Vx15then i suppose it's a bug unfortunately :*13:12
diogenes_Vx15:(13:12
bOSKE:/13:12
bOSKEyeah13:12
bOSKEi will wait maybe they fix it on next update13:12
diogenes_Vx15maybe you can file a bug if you want13:13

dreamhawkHello! In gnome, there's a "sharing" option, where you can activate a VNC connection (or rdp) . But there isnt in Kubuntu? Or am i blind? I found KRFB, but that connection was very slow...18:43
