Double Google Chrome Entry

SethStorm666

Hello,

A minor nuisance, but it nag my perfectionism 😛
When installing Google Chrome from SC's third party selection, I get two entries in both Gnome and KDE. I know how to remove entries in KDE but not in Gnome. Here's a picture of what I'm talking about:

As you see Chrome is listed twice. I have been looking in /opt and in /bin to see if there was a duplicate, but couldn't find any.

The question: How do I remove the an entry in Gnome, particular Chrome?

I use it as flatpak, and don't have it double.
I think it's an Solus package issue

I avoid the third-party repo because I thought it was going to be discontinued.
So I only use packages from the stable repo and everything else from Flathub

Found two in /usr/share/applications

They seem identically when opening them with a text editor. Which one to keep?

That is how it comes packaged from google. Third party system just has a recipe your machine follows to download the .deb provided upstream and repackage it in real time on your system to an .eopkg

https://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/pool/main/g/google-chrome-stable/google-chrome-stable_139.0.7258.127-1_amd64.deb contains the following:
{google-deb-archive?}

An yes, third party will be going away.

I guess I just delete one of them, doesn't matter which one?

I wouldn't think so. I would probably delete the google-chrome.desktop one. Most follow the other convention today, not entirely sure what its about tbh.

Comment in the com.google.Chrome.desktop file:

 [Desktop Entry]
# This is the same as google-chrome.desktop except NoDisplay=true prevents
# duplicate menu entries. This is required to match the application ID
# used by XDG desktop portal, which has stricter naming requirements.
# The old desktop file is kept to preserve default browser settings.

I guess the NoDisplay setting doesn't apply everywhere
