Changing permissions doesn't work #8

Closed luni3359 closed 4 years ago

luni3359 commented 4 years ago

If you toggle or change anything the changes aren't saved. I suspect the flatpak doesn't have permissions to change other permissions.

TingPing commented 4 years ago

It has "--filesystem=~/.local/share/flatpak/overrides:create"

Do you see anything in that directory?

luni3359 commented 4 years ago

The ~/.local/share/flatpak/overrides/ directory exists but it's empty.

tchx84 commented 4 years ago

Hi @luni3359 , can you provide more information about your system ? e.g. linux distribution and version, flatpak version and flatseal version?

luni3359 commented 4 years ago

KDE neon User Edition 5.18 Flatpak 1.6.2 Flatseal version 1.4.1

tchx84 commented 4 years ago

I tested a close approximation of your settings:

I can't reproduce what you describe. Flatseal creates overrides correctly, and these overrides are applied properly (e.g. installed org.gnome.gedit and removed all permissions, and of course it didn't launch afterwards).

Are there any other customizations you might have done to your system, that you can think of?

A few ideas:

I run Flatseal from a shortcut, but I tried running flatpak run com.github.tchx84.Flatseal to see the output:

luni3359@laptop:~$  flatpak run com.github.tchx84.Flatseal

Broken permissions, chown as your user and hope nothing else has the same problem.

Yeah, that will solve the issue.

@luni3359 Did you create that directory manually by any chance?

I've been t hinking about whether or not I would, but I didn't even know it existed. I will say though that I have changed permissions manually before with flatpak. I don't remember what I exactly ran though... but in the end I reseted everything with this here believe.

It works now, thank you! @TingPing @tchx84

luni3359 commented 4 years ago

Just out of curiosity, is it possible for flatseal to know the folder cannot be changed?

tarbaII commented 2 years ago

For anyone coming here with a similar issue, install Flatseal with Flatpak if you didn't. I installed it via the AUR and had this issue, and I resolved it by installing with Flatpak.
