Missing Entry for Steam on Gnome

[SethStormR]

Greetings,

By installing Steam via moss, no entry/link/icon is made on Gnome DE, but it works if you launch it via terminal.

Normally the package provides /usr/share/applications/steam.desktop which should create several entries ...

Yes, it's there in the directory, but somehow it doesn't show up in Gnome's "Show Apps".

Does it show up if you log out and back in?

Yes. After I logged out. It appear on my system.

OK. This is already tracked as an issue that we are aware of then.

For context, from what we can tell, this issue is related to the interaction between how moss works and how GNOME checks for updated files via Linux kernel facilities FWIW.

@ermo I think we need to refresh the desktop database after installing in post: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Desktop_entries#Update_database_of_desktop_entries

Re-opening for tracking.
