 |
|
Hello!
What is necessary dependencies for appimages ? I have several appimages that run without any problems on other distributions. But not on Gentoo.
Installed Librewolf with flatpak.
root otput of "flatpak list"
| Code: | LibreWolf io.gitlab.librewolf-community 109.0-1 stable user
Freedesktop P… org.freedesktop.Platform 22.08.5 22.08 user
Mesa …eedesktop.Platform.GL.default 22.3.2 22.08 user
Mesa (Extra) …eedesktop.Platform.GL.default 22.3.2 22.08-extra user
ffmpeg-full …edesktop.Platform.ffmpeg-full 22.08 user
openh264 …freedesktop.Platform.openh264 2.1.0 2.2.0 user
|
No Librewolf in menu.
"Flatpak list" from terminal of regular user, no any otput. |

Hey,
there's a differnect between appimage https://appimage.org/ and a flatpak version of an app https://www.flatpak.org/ but i think you know that already.
For both it is important that the user who wants to use them has the right to access the files and the app which means:
if you install a flatpak app as user root => only root and all who can access root's home can access those apps/files.
You want to install them as your main user or as system app.
Same goes for appimages while you need to set the execute bit like described in the link above. |

Okay, I know that.
Problem is why is flatpak not showing as regular user ?
On flatpak list is showing "user" and ond regular user "flatpak list" there is nothing ?
I know about appimages, I have been using them regulary on other distributions.
Checked and marked as executable.
On other distributions appimage failed to load because I didn't have fuse2 as dependency.
Is it same problem on Gentoo ? |

For flatpak it is as simple as i said:
| Quote: |
You want to install them as your main user or as system app.
|
A) INSTALL as user
So if your main user is ria77 then:
1) login as user ria77
2) open a shell
| Code: |
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists --user flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
flatpak install librewolf --user
flatpak list
|
DO NOT install it as user root or with sudo or sth.
B) INSTALL as system app
as root run install without the "--user" flag like
| Code: | | flatpak install librewolf |
after installation you can run "flatpak list" again.

Generally: yes appimage requires fuse. Read more about it here: https://docs.appimage.org/user-guide/troubleshooting/index.html |

| Flatpak solved. In case someone is interested, I didn't add flathub for user, but only for root. So flathub needs to be added for user as well. |

I have installed fuse. But appimages won't work.
| Code: | ./LibreWolf.x86_64.AppImage
XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /tmp/.mount_LibreWl3CuKS/libxul.so:
/tmp/.mount_LibreWl3CuKS/libxul.so: undefined symbol: gdk_wayland_window_get_wl_surface
Couldn't load XPCOM.
|
I have been using XFCE and Xorg. |

That's not an easy one since firefox itself has a lot of requirements. You can look at the ebuild of firefox to get the idea. It's located at
| Code: | | /var/db/repos/gentoo/www-client/firefox-bin/firefox-bin-109.0.ebuild |
.
My first idea is that gtk+ isn't compiled with the use flag "wayland" but there might be more to do. |

Problem is: to solve issues it is necessary to have information to get it done. You're just making small talk and expect others to find out what the issue might be. Like telling the doctor weather is fine when he asks you for symptoms.
Back on topic: all app images have the same error?
I recommend to close this thread and open a new one with a specific error message and some info about the image and what you have done to solve it till now. Further the subject should be more specific like
