Unable to get tangram flatpak to work at all

dupr0n commented 2 years ago

Ever since my first install of Tangram about 2 weeks ago, I've been unable to open it. Here's what I get when running it from the terminal.

 ~  flatpak install flathub re.sonny.Tangram             Mon 18 Apr 2022 11:15:53 AM IST

However, when I run the same command again from another terminal while this is still open, I finally get a window that opens up, and this terminal output.

Here's the window I get.

Nothing happens when I click the add button, but I do get a log from the first terminal everytime I click it.

When I click the reload button, I get this.

Some of the things I've tried, but was unsuccessful:

Uninstall and reinstall (with and without deleting ~/.var/app/re.sonny.Tangram).
Updating everything and restarting.
Giving tangram all the permissions I could using flatseal.
Cloning the repository and following the instructions there to run the application, but get a different error there.

Output for the last thing I tried.

I found a similar problem right after installation. In my case this looks like a bug in the app not creating a couple of needed directories:

mkdir ~/.var/app/re.sonny.Tangram/data/Tangram/
mkdir ~/.var/app/re.sonny.Tangram/cache/Tangram/

After that, the application started but the window only shows an address bar and a Done button.

Anyway I don't think I can use this for now.

I just tried this and it works now. Thanks!

For you're situation, I'd suggest maybe trying . flatpak repair re.sonny.Tangram

Or worst case scenario, just install another browser and use that instead. That's what I did till your suggestion. Once again. Thanks!

I'm on Fedora 35 as well, had the same issue. In my case it seems like I already had the ~/.var/app/re.sonny.Tangram/cache/Tangram/ directory after installation already, I just needed to create the ~/.var/app/re.sonny.Tangram/data/Tangram/ and it works now. Thanks!

Alright then. The issue has been resolved for me, so I'm closing this issue
