Icon created by --register-app is non-functional
🐞 Bug Report
Reproduction steps
- On a supported Chromebook, enable the Linux (Crostini) environment.
- Download the latest official Tor Browser for Linux (.tar.xz package).
- Extract the archive in the user's home directory.
- Navigate into the
tor-browser
directory in the terminal. - Run the command
./start-tor-browser.desktop --register-app
.
Expected behaviour
- Clicking the icon created by --register-app in the ChromeOS launcher should successfully start Tor Browser.
Actual behaviour
- An icon for "Tor Browser" correctly appears in the ChromeOS app launcher.
- However, clicking this icon does nothing. No process appears to start, and no UI feedback is given (no loading spinner).
- The application can be started successfully by running
./start-tor-browser.desktop
directly from the terminal.
