Description Adenauer Prange 2024-03-22 04:56:37 UTC
Created attachment 873720 [details]
Info on icon.

I made a lot of tries to install a suit of apps (firefox, tokenadmin, safesignidentityclient) to work with digital signatures of Giesecke/Dreviant, and after a several times going wrong (proprietary software that is imposed to me by law on Brazil [for lawyers]), this software finally works and find Firefox. 

However, after run distrobox-export for firefox, this app doesn't start, and there are some conflicting info on icons (screenshots).

Finaly, the app is working on backgroud, as the system monitor shows.

How to solve that?

What happens when you manually enter the distrobox, and launch firefox from the terminal?

The result is: 

[adenauer@Ubuntu-22-04 ~]$ firefox

Command '/usr/bin/firefox' requires the firefox snap to be installed.
Please install it with:

snap install firefox

However, Ubuntu 22.04 installing is snap by standart.

This isn't a Kalpa bug, Snaps are not supported inside of distrobox, Please see:  https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox/issues/324#issuecomment-1179794085
