Configuration using flatpak frescobaldi on Linux

[silvain]

I am using LO 7.3.03. I have been using the extension sucessfully for a long time. Now I have a Flatpak Frescobaldi installation 3.1.3 using Lilypond 2.22.1 (Ubuntu Mate 20.04) The extension does not function, I think because I cannot find a correct for lllypond For the editor, I had to indicate flatpak run org.frescobaldi.Frescobaldi But for the Lilypond executable, I put home/silvain/lilypond/usr/bin/lilypond, whcih correspond to an older version (2.22), and I cannot find the executable Frescobaldi is using (it indicates /app/bin/lilypond, but I cannot find such a location). As a result, I get the error Avertissement : « (gs -q -dNODISPLAY -dNOSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dEPSCrop -dAutoRotatePages=/None -dPrinted=false /tmp/lilypond-tmp-1378956) » a échoué (139) Do you have any indication as how to configure the extension correctly

Salut Silvain,

recently there has been a similar issue: https://github.com/OOoLilyPond/OOoLilyPond/issues/4 (Please note that the current development has moved to that new repository.)

As far as I know, "gs" at the beginning of the error message is the ghostscript executable which is called by lilypond after creating a ps file.

Unfortunately I have absolutely no knowledge of flatpak, but I've read that every application is executed in its own sandbox, and not every application has access to every folder. That might be a problem.

This has nothing to do with Frescobaldi, since your installation of LilyPond is independent from Frescobaldi. It isn't related to OOOly either. The actual problem is that you used /.../usr/bin/lilypond while the correct path was /.../bin/lilypond. This type of problem does not exist with LilyPond 2.24, where usr/ does not exist, so I'm closing this issue.

Regarding how to use custom LilyPond versions in Flatpak Frescobaldi, see
