So I installed Signal messenger and later needed pulse audio and lsp plugins. Now the search in the menu no longer finds Signal in search. :-( I have to go to “Internet -> Signal” to open it.
How to fix this?
Firefox: is linux stupid?

i needed pulse audio and those plugins to get some shitty monitor to work and not sound too bad. lsp plugins was the only thing that worked.

Hey OP, any reason you’re not using Pipewire?
only saving time…which it didnt in the end…so, yeah…could have tried that.
I would uninstall and use the flatpak. Way easier than solving dependencie issues
Installing an optional dependency for an optional feature is hard? What happened to Linux users?
I didn’t say it was hard just said flatpaks are easy. Also why don’t you post a solution?

nobody should use flatpak,snap (lennart poettering is an idiot!) and other abominations that break the only relevant dogma. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_philosophy
also: the snapd idiot is also responsible for many of the troubles with pulse audio! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lennart_Poettering

That’s why I use flatpak
