            Bug ID: 436632
           Summary: Error "Could not find an interactive shell to start."
                    when running a .desktop file; one works, another not
           Product: konsole
           Version: 21.04.0
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: konsole-devel at kde.org

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
I have two .desktop files in folder Desktop which have the same content
considering keywords. Both have "Terminal=true". Clicking in the Desktop on one
works OK. Clicking on the other gives the error message (in Dutch):

Waarschuwing: Kon geen interactieve shell om te starten vinden.

which is a translation from:

Warning: Could not find an interactive shell to start.

Which is present in the language translation file konsole.pot.

This behavior started after a recent update of openSUSE Tumbleweed.

So I believe this is application konsole related.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Put a .desktop file with Terminal=true in the Desktop folder.
2. Click on the icon of this file.
3. The konsole window appears showing this error message.

OBSERVED RESULT


EXPECTED RESULT

The execution of the command(s) after Exec=
