flatpak

Post by djemos »

I tried to install the tuner app with flatpak in salix-xfce 64
First to install the app

Code: Select all

flatpak install flathub com.github.louis77.tuner
and then to run tuner

Code: Select all

flatpak run com.github.louis77.tuner
and i get
error: ldconfig failed, exit status 33792

This happens with every app i try to run
Can anyone tell me how i can run flatpak apps?
Thanks.

Works fine here. What system are you running this exactly? Could it be that you are out of space?

I run salix-xfce 64 installed in external usb 32GB stick. I use a lenovo i3 g510 8GB RAM laptop.

Code: Select all

Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb2        25G   11G   13G  45% /
Same happened on slackel in internal disk.
There is plenty of space.
I cannot figure out what is wrong.
I am writing this message from this salix-xfce 64 on usb stick. system works fine.
I never manage to run flatpak apps :-)

Is that an installation from the live iso or the standard one?

It is from live iso.
But in vmware also where it is an installation from the standard iso, i get the same message. flatpak app don't run.
Also in both installation there is no flatpak user and group.
In another partition of my disk i have ubuntu 16.0.4 and i installed there flatpak. tuner run there. I saw that a flatpak user and group created by apt when installing the flatpak.
The test to be done is do a new installation of standard and live iso in vmware to be fast and install a flatpak app and try to run it.

Flatpak runs fine in every system I have, bare metal or VM. There's something else that is probably wrong. There is no need for the flatpak user/group in salix as in ubuntu.

What is wrong here? It is the hardware? The laptop? I have to find another laptop to use flatpak.
It is strange.
This ldconfig message, maybe is the cpu.

No, I don't think it's the hardware. Unless you have a faulty HD or RAM.

Also i saw that 1.5 GB installed in /var/lib/flatpak for tuner. If installing one app take so much space then flatpak is not useful. this is a con of flatpak.
what is yours du -sh /var/lib/flatpak

Yes, that's how it is. But it won't be 1.5GB for the next flatpak you install, since it will reuse the runtime (if it's using the same runtime).
