Flatpak support #81

Open barnscott opened 4 years ago

barnscott commented 4 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently, it appears flatpaks are not supported and is installed without any remotes. Input: flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo Output: error: Unable to connect to system bus

Currently using 2004+WSL2, Fedora-Remix release 32.

Describe the solution you'd like It would be ideal for Fedora-Remix to ship with support for registry.fedoraproject.com remote and enable flatpak development via WSL/Fedora-Remix.

WSLUser commented 4 years ago

You need to start dbus. The newest release version contains some dbus fixes to get it working correctly.

crramirez commented 4 years ago

Have you tried:

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

It works for me

barnscott commented 4 years ago

Due to the error i received, and the fact that i hadn't got dbus to launch successfully, i incorrectly assumed that the flatpak repo could not be added.

But yes, @crramirez, using sudo did let me add the repo.

However, i still cant install flatpak application as im receiving similar dbus errors:

$ flatpak install flathub org.gabmus.notorious -y

Are dbus errors a known issue with a fix coming as @WSLUser suggests? Or do i just have something misconfigured?

crramirez commented 4 years ago

May sound repetitive but use sudo again. It worked for me this way.

It looks like flatpak is trying to use dbus to gain administrative privileges.

The fixes are already in place. Simply the system bus is not as reliable in WSL due to the lack of all the configurations and daemons present in a full Linux installation.

barnscott commented 4 years ago

I must have a mis-configuration then, because I had received the issues below. I'll keep poking around.

$ sudo flatpak install flathub org.gabmus.notorious -y

crramirez commented 4 years ago

Ok, this means that it is not supported yet. I tested until the installation because right now I don't have handy WSL2 I thought it could work in WSL2. I can make a full test but in some days. We have a similar case with pods. These containers like things don't work yet.

I will investigate this "bwrap must be installed setuid on such systems."

I'll keep you informed

Croydon commented 4 years ago

I have similar problems

I can run Flatpak only with sudo, otherwise I'm getting error along the line of

Warning: Failed to get revokefs-fuse socket from system-helper: Unable to connect to system bus

TezieG commented 3 years ago

I don't know what operating system you guys are working on but for me it worked (on windows) to start Ubuntu as an Administrator and used sudo before the command, hope that helps.

mdegans commented 3 years ago

I just used --user and it worked. so flatpak --user remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo. No sudo needed.

starvsion commented 2 years ago

it works in WSL2 in Win11 ( you need to install flatpak, and maybe genie?)
