Can't access file storage #24

Closed 12people closed 3 months ago

12people commented 5 years ago

When I install the flathub version of Anki and try to import a file, it gives me access only to a virtual 4 GB drive, not to my actual 1 TB drive with the files I want to import.

Using Ubuntu 19.04. What can I do?

jurf commented 5 years ago

This shouldn’t be happening, file access is done by the portal. Have you completed the steps in https://flatpak.org/setup/Ubuntu/?

12people commented 5 years ago

@jurf Yup, to the letter.

I initially thought it was a settings matter, but the Application settings panel in GNOME lists only network access as a built-in permission for the Anki app and tells me that the permissions cannot be changed.

jurf commented 5 years ago

Well, I cannot reproduce this on my system, I can access my external drives just fine. Is there anything interesting in the logs?

@jurf Here are the logs:

I've noticed that for the "Import" operation my home directory appears empty. My workaround is to allow full access to the host filesystem as described in the ticket about "Export": https://github.com/flathub/net.ankiweb.Anki/issues/26#issuecomment-504334187

flatpak override --user net.ankiweb.Anki --filesystem=host

Same issue here (Flatpak 1.10.2, Anki 2.1.44). Anki also shows the plain Qt file picker rather than the Plasma one, which I think would be expected since I run Anki under Plasma.

12people commented 2 years ago

The solution here might be to use the official (and recommended) Flatpak portals — see xdg-desktop-portal for more info.

That should not only solve this issue, but also increase the security of the Flatpak app.

12people commented 2 years ago

According to the official Flatpak documentation, using QFileDialog (but NOT QFileDialog::DontUseNativeDialog) should give you access to file portals for free. In Qt, this apparently only works for browsing for files, not for folders.

It would at least be a start.

novahahn commented 2 years ago

Anki does use QFileDialog. But the flatpak currently uses the upstream binaries, which bundle their own Qt. Perhaps portals only work if you use the Flatpak-provided Qt.

njam commented 2 years ago

I think this has been fixed by Anki. I can import/export decks from the local filesystem by default.

(Anki ⁨2.1.49)

ingemarberg commented 2 years ago

I've tested this in Anki 2.1.50 and I can import and export decks as expected.

Wemmy0 commented 1 year ago

Still broken for me I'm installing the AUR version instead (but needs support for the new version of python)

rayes0 commented 3 months ago

Closing as this is an old issue, I cannot reproduce this, and nothing can be done to fix this in the flatpak.

This should work correctly provided that you have the correct xdg-desktop-portal-* package installed, and that it is running. If you do not want to set up the portal, then the other solution would be allowing filesystem=host as suggested earlier.
