I have an issue with opening the links in Qt based applications, like `lxqt-panel`, `qterminal` and I think all of the Qt based application. I mean, I can't open the `file:///home/hamzeh/` in these applications. I get the following error:
``` Launch failed (/gnu/store/bi4m86lripz4fhhi4c34ylg5ckxsrqzs-xdg-utils-1.1.3/bin/xdg-open ....) ``` As you can see, it wants to run `xdg-open` from `/gnu/store/bi4m86lripz4fhhi4c34ylg5ckxsrqzs-xdg-utils-1.1.3/` path and this path isn't available. This `xdg-open` path has patched here: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/qt.scm?id=f868ed2a75b55400107b80fcc1e41dcfb6b3c28c#n447 So all of the application that are using `QDesktopServices::openUrl()` have this issue, since this path has filled with wrong value in the `qtbase` package. Also the `xdg-utils` is installed but in the different path, the correct and current installed path is: ``` /gnu/store/0zdclmgw5gnpifwb7jyrmplrk13wp0yz-xdg-utils-1.1.3/ ``` The workaround is installing the `xdg-utils` manually, but it's a temporary solution since after running the `guix gc`, again I'll face with this issue. Some details: 1. In the fresh install I have the `xdg-utils` in the store at this path: ``` $ ll /gnu/store/ | grep xdg-utils dr-xr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jan 1 1970 0zdclmgw5gnpifwb7jyrmplrk13wp0yz-xdg-utils-1.1.3/ ``` and I can't open the links in Qt applications. 2. After installing the `xdg-utils` manually, two `xdg-utils` paths were added to store: ``` $ ll /gnu/store/ | grep xdg-utils dr-xr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jan 1 1970 0zdclmgw5gnpifwb7jyrmplrk13wp0yz-xdg-utils-1.1.3/ -r--r--r-- 2 root root 1120 Jan 1 1970 35m23zhgbc4rrjrf36dag9abx7r6fnji-xdg-utils-1.1.3-guile-builder dr-xr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jan 1 1970 3g26il93p23p4fcg1hfn797n4blqh0f6-xdg-utils-1.1.3/ dr-xr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jan 1 1970 bi4m86lripz4fhhi4c34ylg5ckxsrqzs-xdg-utils-1.1.3/ -r--r--r-- 2 root root 3739 Jan 1 1970 makz45834k44dg1x1h1v91nqib41wd91-xdg-utils-1.1.3.drv -r--r--r-- 2 root root 5706 Jan 1 1970 mix35kkjk3prj2kwi96qx74biwqbmxx7-xdg-utils-1.1.3-guile-builder -r--r--r-- 2 root root 1269 Jan 1 1970 sz8s218fxvq8hr1ikn4m8g1z3ydbprbs-xdg-utils-1.1.3.drv -r--r--r-- 2 root root 909 Jan 1 1970 zbvwka7a27baz22w8k78jyjkrqaxcc4v-xdg-utils-1.1.3.tar.gz.drv ``` there is no issue with opening the links at this state. 3. After running the `guix gc` the `xdg-utils` path are: ``` $ ll /gnu/store/ | grep xdg-utils dr-xr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jan 1 1970 0zdclmgw5gnpifwb7jyrmplrk13wp0yz-xdg-utils-1.1.3/ -r--r--r-- 2 root root 1120 Jan 1 1970 35m23zhgbc4rrjrf36dag9abx7r6fnji-xdg-utils-1.1.3-guile-builder dr-xr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jan 1 1970 3g26il93p23p4fcg1hfn797n4blqh0f6-xdg-utils-1.1.3/ -r--r--r-- 2 root root 3739 Jan 1 1970 makz45834k44dg1x1h1v91nqib41wd91-xdg-utils-1.1.3.drv -r--r--r-- 2 root root 5706 Jan 1 1970 mix35kkjk3prj2kwi96qx74biwqbmxx7-xdg-utils-1.1.3-guile-builder -r--r--r-- 2 root root 1269 Jan 1 1970 sz8s218fxvq8hr1ikn4m8g1z3ydbprbs-xdg-utils-1.1.3.drv -r--r--r-- 2 root root 909 Jan 1 1970 zbvwka7a27baz22w8k78jyjkrqaxcc4v-xdg-utils-1.1.3.tar.gz.drv ``` And in this state, again, there is an issue with opening the links: ``` Launch failed (/gnu/store/bi4m86lripz4fhhi4c34ylg5ckxsrqzs-xdg-utils-1.1.3/bin/xdg-open ....) ``` And again I can install `xdg-utils`, it cause to adding `bi4m86lripz4fhhi4c34ylg5ckxsrqzs-xdg-utils-1.1.3/` to store and the issue will be fixed but after each `guix gc`, again I have the issue. (1). I need to fix the issue permanently and also without installing `xdg-utils` manually. How? (2). Seems that `qtbase` are referring to a wrong path (`bi4m86lripz4fhhi4c34ylg5ckxsrqzs-xdg-utils-1.1.3/`) here: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/qt.scm?id=f868ed2a75b55400107b80fcc1e41dcfb6b3c28c#n447 Why? and where does this wrong path come from? (3) Why after installing the `xdg-utils` I have those new paths in my store? And why after `guix gc` they will be deleted? Regards, -- Hamzeh Nasajpour PantherX Team
