App Fails to Launch unless I create the directory /media #7

Closed d-air1 closed 5 months ago

I have tried both your obs appimage as well ass your handbrake one and one thing I noticed is that they will fail to launch with the error message bwrap: Can't find source path /media: No such file or directory. If I create that directory then everything works fine. Any reason it is looking for a non default directory?

P.S.: thanks for the cool project.

Yes, the app runs into a container into an AppImage, many distributions (nomrally those based on systemd) have /mnt and /media in the root to mount external drives. I'm not sure on how many distros have not a /media directory in the root of the file system. What is your?

I've moved /media as an optional directory, if it does not exists, the next release will work without it

Ok, thanks that was quick. As for my distro, I am on EndeavourOS / Arch. I was under the impression that most distros had moved to using /run/media/your-username/ as the default directory for mounting external drives.

I found the reference I was looking for in the arch wiki. Any program, distro that uses udisks2 to mount will auto mount in /run/media/[your username]. I think this is one of the paths you should be looking for. Screenshot_20240220_205951

As you can see by this screenshot from the relevant section in the arch wiki. Reverting to the older /media directory would require people to setup their own udev rule.

I'm patching all my Archimages right now, in case they have the same issue, just reinstall from the next update.

For now I've started workflows for obs, handbrake and spacedadet. Normally I've not this kind of feedback.

I have already download the build you released about 20 minutes ago and it works. Thanks for such a fast resolution.
