Describe the bug
Qutebrowser does not launch.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open Browsers
  2. Click on Qutebrowser in the list of options
  3. Browsers closes and nothing happens

Expected behavior
I expected Qutebrowser to open

Screenshots
Not really applicable here because nothing opens.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: ArcoLinux (i3)
  • Browser: Qutebrowser (all other browser launch
  • Version: 2.5.4 I don't know how to find out the Browsers version number, I just installed it 2 days ago.

Additional context
Qutebrowser launches just fine from the command line, from Rofi, and is located in the same folder as Vivaldi (which launches just fine from within Browsers), /usr/bin/.

Hey there. I tested qutebrowser in debian and it seems to work alright.
Please check and report back what's in the Exec value of the qutebrowser .desktop file.

I might need to handle more complex commands better (Browsers doesn't accept a command actually and assumes there's only a binary path (or just a binary name inside PATH, except the suffix %u.)

There are 3, one under [Desktop Entry]
Exec=qutebrowser --untrusted-args %u

One under [Desktop Action new-window]
Exec=qutebrowser

One under [Desktop Action preferences]
Exec=qutebrowser "qute://settings"

I don't know which one is being executed by Browsers.

This should be fixed now in 0.3.4, released today. You can see the version in ⋮->About.

Let me know if that solved it for you.
