No, it doesn't

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

what does it say? In watching the video this morning I'm pretty sure it mentioned gcc and flatpak...

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

It doesn't suggest that 3.3 has moved to QT 5.9.x. Still 5.6.
But newer gcc and flatpak support it's present in 3.3.0.14.

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

apologies for misunderstanding, thank you.

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

As we are getting to more widespread use, I have added 'App tips' section in
https://github.com/sailfishos-flatpa...-specific-tips

Currently it addresses scaling issues with the apps (too large fonts in Angelfish, for example). Feel free to extend via PRs to add your tips.

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

thanks, done: https://github.com/sailfishos-flatpa...ODeRUS:patch-1

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

merge request created and merged. Thanks!

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

So what is the scaling or dpi normal in a sony xperia x, now is looking zoomed Angelfish.

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

https://lmgtfy.com/?q=sony+xperia+x+dpi&s=d

and look into recommended settings for Angelfish in the README referred before :)

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

Thank you. It is possible be translated the qml-Flatpak-runner app to be easy for end user?

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

Is this useful for any apps besides angelfish and telegram?

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

Excellent and important question!

In my eyes, no, it is not.

I am using it with Angelfish mainly. I have tried Mirage (https://github.com/mirukana/mirage, have to compile flatpak yourself until its published on Flathub), but it has some touch screen issues - although is usable. However, I hope that SFOS Matrix client will show up and I don't need Mirage on SFOS.

The whole project was started to get access to current libs and web browser. The best bet, taking into account QtWayland situation (no Gtk apps possible), turned out to be QtWebengine and corresponding web browser. Hence my participation in Angelfish development and its use.

Good thing about Angelfish is that it should be relatively simple to convert it to SFOS native app iff we get Qt updates. So, I consider it as an investment and it makes sense to join forces in browser development.

As for other apps, we are in rather good state with the apps when you compare with the others. In theory (haven't tried), its possible to package ubuntu touch apps to flatpaks as well. But it takes effort and someone has to be interested enough to make it.

My own plans, with the respect of Flatpak support, are modest. I don't plan to work on it much as it does what I need. Others are very welcome to join and fix issues as they find them. For example, if you wish to get ability to upload/download files via Angelfish, Flatpak would need to get support for the corresponding portals (file system access). So, you would have to read up on it, figure out used API, and implement it.

There are bugs, those that I know of are listed at https://github.com/sailfishos-flatpak/main/issues . Again, feel free to work on them and I will help as much as I can.

Flatpak will be able to make more if we get access to the newer Qt libs and corresponding QtWayland update. That would allow to use/write/adapt better composer in Flatpak Runner and get ability to run Gtk apps developed by Purism folks. Ironically, at the same time, we will be able to use newer Qt libs natively reducing the need of flatpak on SFOS. So, let's see what will be the situation when/if Qt update happens. Or, we all move on to somewhere else due to the inability to develop/run current software.

As for my time, I'd prefer to allocate it to the apps development (maps, browser, maybe something else) and ensuring that Sony Tama port is up to date.

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

Sure, I should look into it. Issue opened: https://github.com/sailfishos-flatpa...nner/issues/18

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

hi ringius.
i successfully installed flatpak on my xperia f53121.
but no icon of angelfish is appearing.
is there a fix which i can manage myselfon my jolla c
i have the icons but angelfish is not working because i think it is only working on sony devices?
or is therr a simple workaround too?

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

Have you installed Angelfish? After installation you have to run Flatpak Runner (desktop icon should be there) and it will create an icon for you for all installed flatpak apps

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

yes i did i perform a new clean install.

no icon

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

To be sure that we speak about the same things:

* do you have flatpak-runner command available?

* did you install using * please paste the output of from ssh/terminal.

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

I install new.

here a screenshot

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

Afer installation the device performed a reboot itself.

Flatpak list.

shows

But no starter with angelfish :o

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

First, it should not reboot itself, you will have to figure out what's going on. But looks like it managed to install all what's needed.

Second:

have you installed flatpak-runner? You are expected to install that as well, its Sailfish app. Now start in terminal (or from launcher)

flatpak-runner

It will show you the list of installed apps. Angelfish should be recognized and in that list. After that, Angelfish will be available in the icon list of the launcher

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

PS: You are on SFOS 3.3.xxx, right?

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

yes installed it

it is very funny that i dont get an icon
:p

yes

when i install flatpak and flatpak-runner how much
packages i get 2?

in a screenshot in this thread from another user there where 12 packages:;)

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

You will pull few dependencies, sure. Don't remember the count though.

OK, then let's try differently. Try to run

flatpak-runner org.kde.mobile.angelfish

from terminal. Something feels amiss and I don't get what

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

So i find the package i meant here:

http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...8&postcount=41

So i removed the package disable your repo.
pkcon refresh
all right
then enable your repo.
and maked a clean install of flatpak-runner and flatpak.

and now this :

:o

here the packages with repo info:

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

There is a reason README is written. Please follow installation guide at https://github.com/sailfishos-flatpak/main . These dependencies are needed for what makes flatpak tick.

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

okay so i ignore the warning i install it
;)

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

Looks like warning is coming from new package in 3.3 SFOS. as I compiled all for SFOS 3.2 and haven't updated yet, you can either ignore or not install and wait for few weeks (until Sony Tama is updated and flatpak packages will move to 3.3)

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

Here evtl. an error with .svg pictures icons?

Attachment 41048

otherwise succes with terminal.
but no icon on desktop :o

Attachment 41049

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

What happens if you run flatpak-runner without any arguments? does it show Angelfish? Did it create icon in launcher then?

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

Installing flatpak on XA2 and X gave me the following package conflict:
Seems like Jolla is using an older version of libjson vs. Rinigus repository. I'm not sure if this will break OS stuff that depends on the Jolla provided json-glib or is it safe (having future OS updates in mind) to override this conflict?

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

I think its the same version (difference is in the last digits). As for whether it will break anything, I don't know. As stated above, I will be able to work on SFOS 3.3. only in few weeks

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

No icon :o

evtl. these helps?

Attachment 41050

otherwise i can start angelfish from terminal.

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

Looks like sfos 3.3 is not at OBS yet. So, will have to wait with conflict resolution for it. As for absent icon, no idea why is it.

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

I tried installing flatpak on my spare Jolla C running 3.3.0.14 by following these instructions: https://github.com/sailfishos-flatpak/main

But it fails after running: devel-su zypper in flatpak flatpak-runner[

I can't seem to find libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0 compiled for Sailfish neither in the repos nor on openrepos.

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

Sounds like incompatibility between 3.2 and 3.3 SFOS. You'll better wait till 3.3 lands at OBS and we can build packages against it.

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

Interesting because I installed flatpak-runner on my Jolla C without any problems.
When you install flatpak-runner remember to enlarge your root partition because it's too small to install angelfish with all dependecies.

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

I got reboot itself on installing Flatpak dependecies. About sf-3.3 @mosen showed sf-3.3 in fixtec pro device, also i have problem with Angelfish icon.

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

When you use --user you install at your home folder, not root partition

The icon issues could be due to some error or some assumption that I made which is not valid for other cases.

But note: it is assumed that you use --user while install flatpak packages.

PS: don't like those reboots, something is wrong. Maybe that's what EA is for...

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

Seems that the flatpak icons issues is to sf-rokua.

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

I do this is a size issue. As stated flatpak refuse to install due to "libgdk_pixbuf" not being available. Do you have a package named something like "libgdk_pixbuf" to be present on your Jolla C?
