WezTerm version

20220408.101518.b908e2dd~232-1.1

Did you try the latest nightly build to see if the issue is better (or worse!) than your current version?

No, and I'll explain why below

Describe the bug

I have installed the wezterm application from the opensuse repository. When I open the application, two applications appear on my task manager, WezTerm and wezterm-gui.

Also, the opensuse repository is not up to date. Thank you!

To Reproduce

No response

Configuration

-- WezTerm
-- https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/

local wezterm = require 'wezterm'

return {
default_prog = {"/usr/bin/zsh", "-l"},

check_for_updates = false,

color_scheme= "nord",

window_background_opacity = 0.90,
initial_rows = 30,
initial_cols = 130,

font = wezterm.font("MonoLisa Nerd Font"),
font_size=12,

-- Cursor style
default_cursor_style = 'BlinkingBar',

-- Enable CSI u mode
-- https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/config/lua/config/enable_csi_u_key_encoding.html
enable_csi_u_key_encoding = true

Expected Behavior

When I open my application it should say just WezTerm is running instead of opening a separate application called wezterm-gui

No response

Anything else?

Thank you so much for the help! Love the terminal otherwise though :)

I think you may have multiple versions of wezterm installed. The icon on the left is a icon from an older version of wezterm.

I think that's just the icon from my papirus icon theme. There is not set icon for "Wezterm-gui" so it uses the standard one by default

I don't have an opensuse system so you're going to need to do some more legwork to figure out why the WM shows two icons. If you're unsure how to proceed I would suggest that you first uninstall the wezterm rpm and see if both icons go away. Then see if they both come back just by installing it (not even running it).

The package version you shared looks like it was built by the distro from this source: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/openSUSE:Factory/wezterm
That's not maintained by me; @uncomfyhalomacro is this something you can look into?

I think @epswims , you forgot to add enable_wayland though that is not the problem right now. It is the icons. I am going to ask someone who has more knowledge with Wayland related stuff

found out it isnt related to Wayland. did you have a previous installation of wezterm?

Yes, I initially installed the RPM for tumbleweed but then I was prompted to switch to the OpenSUSE official repo one when I was doing "sudo zypper dup".

I started getting double icons when the OpenSUSE one installed. When I uninstall it and reinstall the RPM, I no longer get this issue however I keep getting prompted to switch to the one in the OpenSUSE repo when I update my packages.

I get double icons only when I install the OpenSUSE official repo one

seems like it resulted duplicated icons during installation. i wonder. nvm that. i was having trouble sleeping lately that i skipped read a lot

Thank you for your response! When I click on WezTerm's application, it opens a separate application called "Wezterm-gui", so I'm not sure it's a duplicate icons issue.

When I just try to pin the wezterm-gui application, it results in a question mark I on once it closes, and does not allow me to open the application from that point

I cannot replicate my issue on KDE Plasma on openSUSE Tumbleweed. I wonder if zypper failed to clean remnants of the previous rpm installation or the spec file for the previous rpm may have noreplace or something. Nothing wrong with my spec file here:

@uncomfyhalomacro unfortunately it did not. Ultimately what I have been doing was that I just unpinned the application from my dock and have been simply running it from my application launcher so that way I do not get double icons. I enabled wayland in the config and all that did was change the logo from the wezterm logo to the wayland application one for the 'wezterm-gui'. This is something I'll just live with until I distro hop again haha

@epswims you can actually test the latest nightly. wezterm's github CI also builds a nightly for openSUSE.

Download it here.
https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/install/linux.html#installing-on-fedora-and-rpm-based-systems

Please let me know if the behavior is the same (after removing all previous wezterm rpms). I am not sure if the spec files are the same but I know for a fact that the OBS and Github processes are not exactly the same.

You can lock the wezterm package so zypper won't mess with it.

after further testing, it seems this might be an icon pack issue and not from wezterm's. What Icon pack/theme are you using? breeze dark seems to return to the new logo. it might be that the icon pack is shipping an older icon

I am using the Papirus icon pack. I'll check out different icons to see if it resolves the issue

Seems Breeze, and other Breeze variants and Adwaita are the only ones showing the correct icon. Removing the icons given from Papirus as a test resolves the issue

After removing (see pinned wezterm app on taskbar):

we might need to update the icons shipped from Papirus or remove them or I will check if openSUSE is using an older version of papirus. going to check if latest papirus theme is shipping the latest wezterm icon. if it is an older version and there is a newer icon in the latest papirus icon theme pack, expect an SR to openSUSE build service tomorrow

Stylizing icons to give them a certain look is kind of what icon pack designers do. Though they might not be aware of a new icon and be open to incorporating that without change. Failing that here's another option, from their github page:

Hardcoded icons

Some software uses an absolute path instead of the icon name in a .desktop file or in the source code which makes them unthemable.

EDIT: I noticed their image filenames are all appimagekit-org.wezfurlong.wezterm.svg which to me sounds like it's the icon for the appimage version but I don't know how the configs work. I don't see why icons would be duplicated anyway even if there were multiples of them. One can also override the icon on most WMs and it works fine.

Can we get them to stop shipping an icon? It doesn't seem useful to have them duplicate the icon that's already part of the application

I guess since you are the owner, you can request them to remove wezterm icons from their icon pack. The icon they are shipping isn't even a customized wezterm icon but just a duplicate from the original (though old version).

The icon has been updated . We don't think we are duplicating the icon. We have our own style and features that we try to adhere to. But you have the right to use what you like. This is the power of free software.

Also i say about StartupWMClass , try it.

i apologize for my lack of knowledge of the desktop file spec. I didn't know we can add that section. I will check if it works later 😄
