Research direction

Start by inspecting linux-setup.sh and reproducing its behavior on Ubuntu 22.04, focusing on the missing dbus-launch message and binaryninja.desktop. Done means the setup no longer reports this condition misleadingly and the desktop file's launchability behavior is addressed or clearly handled.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Component: Installation Impact: Low

The script prints an error message because dbus-launch doesn't exist by default on Ubuntu 22.04, but this only causes the binaryninja.desktop file to not be marked as launchable.

The easy workaround for this is right clicking on the file and choosing Allow Launching
