[Question] Does it work on X11? #8

Closed pizzadude closed 4 years ago

pizzadude commented 4 years ago

Does this app work on X11 DE's, like KDE Plasma 5?

Or do I have to use wayland?

@pizzadude I tested with Kubuntu in VirtualBox and it can render the GUI properly. Haven't tested with webcam because by some reason, my webcam cannot be shared to VM (the webcam doesn't appear in the list of "can-be-shared"). Other DE, like Xfce, LxQt, the GUI cannot be rendered, but I'm suspecting it is VirtualBox issue, not DE. I may need to install those OS on real machine to test again.

Ok. Thanks for replying. Looking forward to flathub release, because I don't use Ubuntu.

Just tested with Kubuntu again, after fixing "device-sharing" with VirtualBox. The webcam doesn't work, due to other bug (my lack of testing on non-OpenGL environment). Will fix and test again.

The FlatHub submission is on progress. Based on some issues found out when testing with Flatpak, it seems that I will have to disable one feature for the app running from Flatpak.

I finished testing on Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu. All work with CoBang.

Flatpak version confirmed working in Fedora 32 KDE. Thanks!
