Upgraded to 20.04. Much software is now snaps. I installed both FreeCAD and GnuCash as snaps from the software center, and neither has created a .desktop launcher that can be found, launched, or added to favorites in GNOME.

I know I could make them by hand, but am I doing something wrong? I removed the snaps and installed via apt, and the .desktop launchers are now present. Shouldn't snaps also create .desktop launchers?

  • Confirmed the bug in the gnucash-jz snap. Use `snap info gnucash-jz` to discover the author's contact information so you can file the bug report. ` – user535733 Jun 10 '20 at 02:37

  • Please [edit] your question and add the output of the following commands: `ls /var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/` and `echo $XDG_DATA_DIRS` – pomsky Jun 10 '20 at 15:15
