I've recently set up a new computer running Kubuntu 25.04 (KDE 6.3.4), and I have a few .desktop files I've brought over from my previous computer (which was using Gnome), where they worked fine. However, now I can't get them to be launchable. They're basically just designed to launch Chrome with a few specific settings.
For example:
[Desktop Entry]
Categories=Network;Chat;
Comment[en_US]=A shortcut for Disney+
Comment=A shortcut for Disney+
Exec=/home/ross/scripts/disneyplus.sh
GenericName[en_US]=
GenericName=
Icon=/home/ross/Pictures/icons/disney-plus-logo.png
MimeType=
Name[en_US]=Disney+
Name=Disney+
NoDisplay=false
Path=/home/ross/scripts/
StartupNotify=true
Terminal=false
Type=Application
X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false
X-KDE-Username=
which points to a script with the contents:
google-chrome --disable-extensions -url http://disneyplus.com -start-fullscreen &
The script works fine from the command line.
The .desktop file is set to be executable, but the Allow Launching option doesn't appear on the right click menu.
context menu for the .desktop file
$ desktop-file-validate disneyplus.desktop
reports no errors.
Most of what I've found online so far suggests using gio to set the trusted flag from CLI, but that isn't working:
$ gio set disneyplus.desktop metadata::trusted true
gio: Setting attribute metadata::trusted not supported
I don't know what else I can try. Does anyone have any ideas?
