Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

i am using with 5.14, still not clearly understand how to update application and stuff

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

Looks like Angelfish has been updated in the repos.

To update:

Follow the questions and respond to them accordingly. Usually, just Y is sufficient.

To remove unused runtimes

If you are using Angelfish only and had it before as well, that should remove KDE 5.12

With 5.14 KDE and new Angelfish, install also

For new keyboard plugin, install

Tonight I plan to release Flatpak Runner which would drop the support for older Maliit plugin and will configure environment for better WebEngine support.

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

I probably have misunderstood you. I thought you were in contact with the Flatpak developers.
I'll try to do my best to find out where the error was coming from and then we will see the further options. Thanks.

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

Yes, I did reboot. I have tried to strace it but in that case I got another error and the angelfish didn't even start. I'll play with it more once I am at home with pc.

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

Then it's hard to say what's wrong. You can try to run

flatpak run --command=sh org.kde.Platform

and see if you get the prompt inside flatpak. It could be a manifestation of using old kernel, but I am speculating here.

Note that neochapay started working on Qt 5.12 builds for Nemo. If he pulls it off, assuming that we can install it in parallel with Qt 5.6, we can probably run 5.12 apps via similar solution as Flatpak Runner even without Silica support. Maybe its more realistic to wait for this solution than trying to fight requirements with old kernels.

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

I have ran that (flatpak run --command=sh org.kde.Platform) on my S2 and got:It seems this is a no go for the S2. :(
How good could have been, if it worked. Anyway, thanks for your hard work.

On the Nexus 5, I got:and it didn't give the cursor back until I terminated with a CTRL+C

You are probably right when saying better to wait for the newer Qt.
With that (Qt 5.12) we might will be able to install/compile Linphone. And with that finally we can have video calls on Sailfish. That would be so :cool:

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

btw, where is "Usage: gpg-connect-agent [options] (-h for help)" come from? can it be suppressed?

about angelfish - is there way to change video quality in youtube?

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

Flatpak Runner 0.6.0 is released with the environment variables set for Qt WebEngine. As its SFOS app, update with zypper or any other tool you prefer, as usual. Not in OpenRepos yet, probably should upload soon.

Please also uninstall flatpak-maliit-plugin-qt (SFOS package) and install org.kde.PlatformInputContexts.MaliitSailfishOS (Flatpak package) instead.

As Angelfish has been updated as well, you can update that as well (some of you probably did already). Please note it will pull KDE 5.14, you can remove 5.12 after.

For keyboard install, ffmpeg install (required for video playback), uninstall of unused packages, see http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...6&postcount=82

If you are short in storage, instead of update, remove Angelfish and other flatpak packages (unused ones), and install Angelfish with the new runtime.


Re gpg messages: as far as I remember, its due to old GPG used in SFOS. Seems you can ignore it.

Re Youtube video quality, other select actions: Select action on most websites lead to opening overlayed window. As the composer implemented in Flatpak Runner is properly primitive, its not able to do so. I would prefer not to spend time on it and wait till we get newer QtWayland on SFOS. As we use QtWayland 5.4, whatever we do, is very temporary. Before that Qt update it makes more sense to spend time on making the browser and other projects. Just remember that limitation and stay away from those drop down comboboxes on such sites as TMO.

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

have we had anything from Jolla to indicate when the Qt update for SFOS is coming? It has been coming 'soon' for years now.

and are we presuming that a new qt-wayland version will arrive with a new Qt version?

thank you for all your work on this, would love to see it made official.

Re: Flatpak on Sailfish OS
 

They mentioned it in one of the last IRC meetings, but are afraid of setting the date for it. Not sure whether the work on 5.12 has started yet. In the public branches, we have https://git.sailfishos.org/mer-core/qtbase/tree/mer-5.9 , but it stalled about a year ago.

I would expect that Qt Wayland will be updated as well. But your guess is as good as mine.
