I made a lot of desktop shortcuts already, but mullvad vpn just not opens from the shortcut, does the exec value is wrong?
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Mullvad VPN
Exec=/usr/bin/mullvad
Icon=/usr/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps/mullvad-vpn.png
Type=Application
Is mullvad
a GUI app? Or does it need to run in a Terminal?
If it needs to be in a Terminal, something like gnome-terminal -- /usr/bin/mullvad
could work.
May also need a PATH
set to run from (I think there’s a Desktop
option for it but could also be done with bash -c
vgaetera

They provide a native RPM package that includes the launcher:

i want to make a shortcut to the mullvad GUI
That is the CLI app and not the GUI one
How did you install MullvadVPN? It has its own desktop entry, that should just work?
There are install steps. For dnf Fedora just install it with dnf instead of rpm-ostree

How did you install the app?
The desktop entry is installed to /usr/share/applications
So this should not happen

i followed this this from the link Vladislav gave:
sudo dnf config-manager addrepo --from-repofile=https://repository.mullvad.net/rpm/stable/mullvad.repo
sudo dnf install mullvad-vpn

And what did you do before that you had the CLI utility but no entry?

Strange. Yeah I opened the issue back then and luckily they made repos. But they should not allow downloading .rpms manually
