Hangs on "Installing..." forever

[probonopd]

Hanging on "Installing..." forever. Probably because it assumes ~/.local/share/applications to be there, but it isn't always. Need to create the directory before using it.

Cam you please share the last lines of log file? You can find it from the main manu

[probonopd]

I don't have that system around anymore but it clearly showed a Python error trying to write to the non-existent directory ~/.local/share/applications. The directory ~/.local does not exist on my machine.

[mijorus]

thanks

I'm having this problem too with "Zen Browser", but unlike OP, ~/.local/share/applications exists on my computer.

I had the same bug and in my case, the root cause of the issue was that the owner of the ~/.local/share/applications directory and everything inside was set to root for some reason. Running sudo chown -R $(id -u):$(id -g) ~/.local/share/applications fixed the issue for me.
