I’m really confused here and I’m sure it’s a really easy explanation.
I got this starter:
When I click on it in the menu, it just bounces the logo next to the cursor but then nothing happens. The program doesn’t start.
But when I open Konsole and type distrobox-enter -n opensuse -- planmaker24free the program starts! I don’t get why it’s any different.
go to the advanced tap and check run in terminal to get any additional feedback… be sure to save before you launch it.
does that terminal show anything different?
That doesn’t do anything, in fact no terminal window pops up. I saved it before trying.
Also I saw in Advanced it says “Work path: /usr/share/freeoffice2024”. Is that relevant in any way? (The app itself is only installed in the Distrobox container as I’m on Kinoite which only natively supports Flatpaks.)
the work path for my natively installed libre office spreadsheet app has that text box empty.
in fact, back on the general tab the program name is just the executable, no path info at all… if that sheds any light.
when i check the entry for my onlyoffice flatpak i do see a path listed in the program name text field as /usr/bin/flatpak
and then in the command line field
run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=desktopeditors --file-forwarding org.onlyoffice.desktopeditors @@u %U @@
what i’m hearing is that you are trying to run a flatpack in opensuse running in a guest VM on a kinoite host, is that right?
not familiar with opensuse, but i believe they use the discover software store as a font end to their package manager… in there you should be able to find a flatpack backend for discover that integrates flatpaks in with the native apps.
installing flatpaks that way has never caused a problem for me on kubuntu, they all show up and launch just fine from the application menu, like a native app.
you may also need flatseal to adjust flatpak permissions if some hardware can’t be reached with the default settings.
Hi, no it’s the normal RPM version in OpenSUSE in Distrobox, not a Flatpak. What I meant is that I couldn’t install the Fedora RPM as Kinoite discourages installing RPMs (only Flatpaks).
Indeed! I managed to solve it by removing the “Work path” in the advanced tab. Now it’s starting!
