Description of problem: After installing BlueFish in Fedora Gnome, it doesn't appear in the list of applications with GUI: typing "bluef" in the field "Type to search..." gives no result. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.2.5 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Click on "Activities". 2. Click on "Type to search..." and type "bluef". Actual results: The only proposal is "Search the web for bluef". Expected results: Bluefish icon should appear. Additional info:
Strange. This works for me in both Gnome and KDE, with "Bluefish Editor" showing up when typing "bluef" in the search box.
I had the same problem, just installed Fedora, and tried to install Bluefish. Other programs (like codeblock, or openarena) installed just fine and their icon appeared in the list, but launching bluefish through a console gave me following error: bash: /usr/share/applications/bluefish.desktop: Permission denied My user is an administrator, part of group wheel.

Can you check the permissions of the installed desktop file? $ ls -ld /usr/share/applications/bluefish.desktop /usr/share/applications /usr/share /usr / drwxr-xr-x. 19 root root 4096 Jun 17 20:03 / drwxr-xr-x. 12 root root 4096 Dec 22 2013 /usr drwxr-xr-x. 314 root root 12288 May 17 01:24 /usr/share drwxr-xr-x. 4 root root 12288 Jun 21 09:02 /usr/share/applications -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 3266 Jun 8 11:29 /usr/share/applications/bluefish.desktop

Having tried this myself, I think I've tracked down the issue. The desktop file, icon, appdata etc. are in the bluefish-shared-data package, which is required by the bluefish package, and hence gets pulled in if you install bluefish via the command line. However, if you install it via gnome-software, it installs the bluefish-shared-data package (which is where the appdata is), and that doesn't pull in the bluefish package that actually contains the program, hence it doesn't work. The fix will be to make the two packages depend on each other, so it doesn't matter which one you try to install. FWIW, there are two packages because the program is arch-specific and the data isn't.
