Can’t open flatpak software

English Applications
1

As the title said I can’t open any software and I don’t know why since this is a fresh installed of openSUSE Tumbleweed. Where flatpak just works no problem nor need any configuration. And every app I opened will give me the same error.

On Sober:

> flatpak run org.vinegarhq.Sober

Hope someone could help on this. And thank you!

@projectmirai39 Hi, SELinux perhaps, did you install selinux-policy-targeted-gaming?

3

Yup I already have it.

What desktop environment?

Edit, I install via the command line and as my user, not system.

XFCE and how can I know if I install a software as user and how can I do it?

@projectmirai39 how did you add flathub?

I use (only verified flatpaks);

flatpak --user remote-add --if-not-exists --subset=verified flathub-verified https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
flatpak --user install <some flatpak>

Likewise, I add Faltseal flatpak --user install --noninteractive com.github.tchx84.Flatseal to tweak permissions.

7

Doing this command flatpak --user remote-add --if-not-exists --subset=verified flathub-verified https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo got me this error: Creating repo: fstatat(/home/miku/.local/share/flatpak/repo/objects): Permission denied

8

I just add this.

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

Sounds like your file system is read only….

10

How can I change this?

11

How about this directory? Seem like this folder is only owned by root. What if I change the owner of this directory? Will it fix my problem?

Since all folder on ~/.local/share/ are owed by miku and not root but only flatpak is owned by root. maybe thats why all me software aren’t able to launch since it’s being denied.

13

@projectmirai39 yes, you installed as root/system not user…

So remove all the flatpak stuff and start again as your user.

14

So what I’m gonna do is uninstall flatpak, then remove/delete that flatpak folder, reinstall flatpak, copy this commands flatpak --user remote-add --if-not-exists --subset=verified flathub-verified https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo flatpak --user install <some flatpak> and it will fix my problem?

15

Update all my Flatpak software are working now thanks to @malcolmlewis ! Thank you so much, sir!

16

@projectmirai39 good deal :smile: I always recommend installing flatpak as your user, avoids issues like that and also borking the underlying OS :wink:
