launcher won't run
I have tried with the super key, I have tried from the terminal, I can get it to output -h and -V, but it never opens a graphical window.
I am using the sysext version of cosmic.
You are probably missing https://github.com/pop-os/launcher on your system, which is a required (and separate) binary for the cosmic-launcher. What distro are you on?
I am on Manjaro.
If this is required then I believe one of two things should be done.
A) this should be a required dependency by cosmic-launcher (assuming you can't just plug any other launcher into this) B) If you don't have pop-os/launcher installed it should pop up a graphical error message explaining what it is missing. (or at the very least a terminal error if someone tries to debug by launching in the terminal.
I was under the assumption that this was incompatible with my system or some bug was causing it to silently fail. I am compiling the launcher right now.

I second that!
Is this still an issue?
Probably not. I forget what context I had this issue in but whatever my setup is now works flawlessly.
Edit: nvm expanded the chat history. Sounds like it was a dependency issue so idk.
I think the issue can be closed for now?
