I also tried building from source but found that the diorite
library isn't readily available without building from source it doesn't seem like Ubuntu was a dev target that y'all had in mind -- vala-lint
isn't provided by any package in Ubuntu.
I realize that the above is a diorite
problem but I'm posting it here to point out that Ubuntu users have no reasonable fallback if they can't make Flatpak work.
Hello @jnovek. It seems like a Flatpak issue rather than a problem caused by Nuvola. Not sure whether it is a general problem of Flatpak or an integration bug in Ubuntu or PopOS. Has the issue been reported to the respective bug trackers (Flatpak/Ubuntu/PopOS)?
The development target for Nuvola is Flatpak. Nuvola depends on libraries that are not available in common distributions. A notable example is a custom version of Chromium Embedded Framework, which we hope to replace in #583.
You may also try this:
flatpak remote-add --system --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
flatpak remote-add --system --if-not-exists nuvola https://dl.tiliado.eu/flatpak/nuvola.flatpakrepo
flatpak update --system
flatpak install --system flathub org.gnome.Platform/x86_64/3.38
flatpak install --system nuvola eu.tiliado.Nuvola
I 95% agree that it’s a Flatpak issue. This is actually the version of Flatpak distributed via Ubuntu 20.04 — PopOS is a distro layered on top of Ubuntu.
In addition to your noted solutions I’m also going to try uninstalling the Ubuntu Flatpak and installing the latest stock version provided by flatpak.org. I was just trying to avoid that because I don’t want to reinstall all my packages. :-P
Hopefully today? I will report back.
I’m mostly interested in helping you avoid any silent attrition that you may get from wonky FlatPak issues. That’s why I mentioned compiling from source, I was just observing that users have no easy fallback. :-). Sorry if that came out cranky-sounding.
If I find a solution is there a place in the docs for troubleshooting? I’d be happy to update and open a PR.
If you find any way to overcome the issue, you can post it here and then we can decide the proper final place.
Hi! I added the Flatpak repo on PopOS and it claims that the Gnome 3.38 flatpak runtime is missing when it is actually installed.
I am following the instructions here: https://nuvola.tiliado.eu/nuvola/ubuntu/focal/
I've confirmed that the runtime is installed:
It seems (according to Google) like this happens from time to time with various Flatpak packages but the resolution is not clear. I've tried running
flatpak update
andflatpak repair
(just throwing stuff at the wall, here) but neither changed anything.How do I resolve this?
