shortcut icon on Fedora 24 not launching VB 5.1.6, CLI command does

Code: Select all
vboxmanage --version
5.1.6r110634
cat /etc/redhat-release
Fedora release 24 (Twenty Four)
Any idea why the shortcut icon in the left launch apps area does not work but typing
at the command line Terminal works to launch VB?
The only thing in VBox.log are logs about resolv.conf, DHCP, and DNS.
I do see in VBoxSVC.log
Code: Select all
00:00:03.446544 nspr-6 Load [/usr/lib/virtualbox/ExtensionPacks/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack/linux.amd64/VBoxHostWebcam.so] rc VINF_SUCCESS

But is that helpful?

Can we assume you are using the gnome DT? What is the actual property of the shortcut? What does the main icon do if different?

Yes Gnome Desktop and same thing happens when using the actual app launcher icon (not just the left side shortcut). Are there any logs we can check?

I only see options like remove, launch, history and website. Is there a way to recreate the shortcut?

Only way I know of with gnome3 is to remove and install it again. I use cinnamon DT and it provides a way to edit the icon command ( should be VirtualBox %U ). You can always ask the Fedora folks or maybe someone here that uses gnome will pop by.

That is exactly what mine shows. However as I said other than the original install I don't use gnome, hate it and install cinnamon as soon as I get the install settled down. I would really do the install again because something must be missing.

Hm but we use DNF and the reinstall option doesn't take. Since we have a huge Windows 7 VDI I didn't want to risk losing association with it by uninstalling and then fixing the permissions with /sbin/rcvboxdrv setup

Those are rmpfision builds and you would need to ask them. If that is what you installed in the first place that could answer why you are having issues. We only support the official version from virtualbox.org.
