Flatseal does not start without an error message #550

ckeller · 2023-07-18T12:26:07Z

Hi
I installed Flatseal (flatpak install flathub com.github.tchx84.Flatseal), but running it (flatpak run com.github.tchx84.Flatseal) does not display anything and does not output any message.
Below is the output of flatpak run -v com.github.tchx84.Flatseal.
Thanks for your help!

If you run flatpak run com.github.tchx84.Flatseal --help does it show something?
Do you have other working flatpaks or is flatseal your only flatpak? It might be a problem with your flatpak installation.
Can you name some system informations like flatpak version, distribution, desktop environment, x11 or wayland, ...

ckeller · 2023-07-18T12:40:09Z

If you run flatpak run com.github.tchx84.Flatseal --help does it show something?

It does not output anything.

* Do you have other working flatpaks or is flatseal your only flatpak? It might be a problem with your flatpak installation.

I run Steam without problem.

* Can you name some system informations like flatpak version, distribution, desktop environment, x11 or wayland, ...

I use Debian sid with kernel 6.1.0-8-amd64, openbox, x11, and flatpak 1.14.4.

rusty-snake · 2023-07-18T12:46:28Z

I don't have any real idea except of reboot and flatpak repair.

ckeller · 2023-07-18T13:16:38Z

I still have the same symptoms :-(

tchx84 · 2023-07-18T15:39:34Z

Very strange... have you ever ran Flatseal before?

Just in case, do this from the terminal:

$ flatpak kill com.github.tchx84.Flatseal
$ flatpak -y uninstall com.github.tchx84.Flatseal
$ rm -rf ~/.var/app/com.github.tchx84.Flatseal/
$ rm -rf ~/.local/share/flatpak/overrides/com.github.tchx84.Flatseal
$ flatpak --user -y install flathub com.github.tchx84.Flatseal
$ flatpak run com.github.tchx84.Flatseal

And re-try...

ckeller · 2023-07-18T15:50:00Z

Same problem... I never used Flatseal before.
As expected, flatpak kill com.github.tchx84.Flatseal returned that it was not running. Also, the directory ~/.local/share/flatpak/overrides/com.github.tchx84.Flatseal did not exist.

hmm, does this show any error message?

$ flatpak run --command=bash com.github.tchx84.Flatseal
$ cd /app/bin/
$ com.github.tchx84.Flatseal

ckeller · 2023-07-18T16:02:09Z

Yes, that /app/bin does not exist.

tchx84 · 2023-07-18T16:06:16Z

Yes, that /app/bin does not exist.

That's very strange, it means the previous command, to go in the flatpak container, did not work. This means, something is failing way before Flatseal even runs.

ckeller · 2023-07-18T16:07:21Z

Ok, I can report to Flatpak

dnet890 · 2023-10-05T05:28:26Z

me too flatseal does not start on Ubuntu 22.04 and downgrade it does not worked

tchx84 · 2023-10-05T12:12:31Z

Can you try this from the terminal ?

$ flatpak kill com.github.tchx84.Flatseal

$ rm -rf ~/.var/app/com.github.tchx84.Flatseal/
$ rm ~/.local/share/flatpak/overrides/global
$ rm ~/.local/share/flatpak/overrides/com.github.tchx84.Flatseal

$ flatpak run com.github.tchx84.Flatseal

@tchx84 Hi
I got this message and it just stuck. What do you think?

Issue #550

tchx84 · 2023-10-08T15:03:46Z

@tchx84 Hi I got this message and it just stuck. What do you think?

This is quite strange... it seems to suggest your setup does not support file monitoring.

Can you try this branch #608 , follow these instructions #608 ?

dnet890 · 2023-10-08T23:52:27Z

Sorry do you mean I need to modify the file src/models/applications.js?

tchx84 · 2023-10-09T09:18:53Z

Sorry do you mean I need to modify the file src/models/applications.js?

Nope, what I meant is that you should build Flatseal with a fix I am trying (in the blind, because I can't reproduce this), by following these commands:

git clone https://github.com/tchx84/Flatseal.git
cd Flatseal
git checkout exploring-issue-550
flatpak --user install org.gnome.{Platform,Sdk}//45
flatpak-builder --user --force-clean --install build com.github.tchx84.Flatseal.json
flatpak --user run --branch=master com.github.tchx84.Flatseal

dnet890 · 2023-10-09T09:28:04Z

Hi
I already installed org.gnome.{Platform,Sdk}//45. But, the thing that is not found on the flathub. What do you think?

koriit-kontakt · 2023-10-30T19:01:25Z

Hi, I'm experiencing the same issue as @dtantono . I was already running flatseal just fine in my setup, the only thing that really changed since I last opened it is that I have encrypted my home dir with ecryptfs. Could it be the root cause?

rusty-snake · 2023-10-30T19:15:44Z

If other flatpaks Start fine I don't think so.

HI @koriit-kontakt, Sadly, I can't reproduce this and therefore I am in the dark here, can you test this fix?

Just run the following commands on your terminal:

git clone https://github.com/tchx84/Flatseal.git
cd Flatseal
git checkout exploring-issue-550
flatpak --user install org.gnome.{Platform,Sdk}//45
flatpak-builder --user --force-clean --install build com.github.tchx84.Flatseal.json
flatpak --user run --branch=master com.github.tchx84.Flatseal

koriit-kontakt · 2023-10-30T19:31:04Z

@tchx84 Good news! I was able to run it from the branch and it works! Thanks!

Though the commands I had to run were:

git clone https://github.com/tchx84/Flatseal.git
cd Flatseal 
git checkout exploring-issue-550
flatpak install flathub 'org.gnome.Platform//45'
flatpak install flathub 'org.gnome.Sdk//45' 
flatpak install flathub org.flatpak.Builder
sudo apt install flatpak-builder
flatpak-builder --user --force-clean --install build com.github.tchx84.Flatseal.json
flatpak --user run --branch=master com.github.tchx84.Flatseal

This is the full console output:
