hello folks, so, i use fedora, and i have steam installed as flatpak, i tried this suggestion
i relaxed the flatpak, and log out, but the .desktop files are still in the /home/${USER}/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/applications/ how i “force” the steam to re-create the .desktop files?
thank you!
(btw i just want the start-menu icons, i don’t put shortcuts in the desktop :)
I believe its an option when you right click the game in steam.
If you don’t want the desktop icons, you don’t need to relax the flatpak permissions for the xdg-desktop. Just the first two for allowing steam to see the icons and the applications folders.
If the right click option isn’t there in steam, there might be a way to regenerate the icon, but off the top of my head I’m not sure. Reinstalling the game should do it but that’s a pain for larger games.
oh, i can just generate a .desktop file in my desktop, and copy it to the correctly location, anyway, thank you for answering!
No worries. Yeah I ran into this same issue with flatpak steam and got it mostly working about a year ago and then distro hopped. Lost the changes for some reason and just didn’t bother fixing it lol. Glad you got it working!!
yeah reinstaling it resolved, but, i mean i don’t want to reinstall every one😅, and repair the game files didn’t changed anything, even after deleting the one from the .var/steam
