Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Sounds like might be user permissions related. If run as a certain user may only have sufficient access rights for that user? Flatpak-ed Dolphin may be run either as root or as user Dolphin : in both situations no data is shown when entering mount-points of other partitions. I've tested that this d...

Installing a Linux distribution on a virtual machine (VM from now on) on EasyOS is for sure less useful for working than installing MS Windows on it, since all the advantages of a powerful Linux distribution are already available on the host. But this is anyway interesting and useful for testing pur...

I am suggesting the flatpack is configured to work/interact with the KDE desktop, so a default or mostly "blank" config might work better https://userbase.kde.org/Dolphin Maybe, even though I don't think so, since it even shows non-existent data on certain folders. I'll have a look anyway...

If I understand correctly, your dolphin built from debs is configured better than the dolphin run from a flatpak? I dunno where in /root the configuration is stored in the install made from debs, but if you find it, you might be able copy it to the configs for the flatpak install https://unix.stack...

the flatpack was built by the KDE project, most likely with KDE desktop defaults. maybe there is a config file from your deb install you can use in the flatpak? As far as I understood, pre-packaged apps have all dependencies buit-in --> they do not interact with packages installed on the system (wo...

nice to see you have the flatpacks working, Federico. fwiw, I migrated to Easy from fedora29 KDE a few years back. I liked KDE in general, but Dolphin, in spite of being full featured, was troublesome in similar ways when run as a user, and seemed to only be useful when run as root. There must have...

@ everyone

Hi all, remember to activate Time from Internet on QuickSetup, and also the qsync daemon, otherwise Flapi won't work correctly. It would be appropriate to add a warning for this on Flapi, imho.

Try running dolphin as root: # dolphin.bin I am planning to include a simple way to set the default for apps to be run as either their own user or as root. Oh, good morning! Ehm... good afternoon! For sure! I was thinking about that, but I was so tired yesterday, ehm... in the morning, that I didn'...

Non-working features on flatpak-ed Okular: - PDFs located on other partitions cannot be accessed. Even drag and drop does not work. The only way is to copy them locally first. This may be very annoying for people using EasyOS on USB sticks. Non-working features on flatpak-ed Dolphin: - The program ...

just curious if you have the "Hardware Clock set to UTC" check box ticked? are you saying you can see the contents of the ntfs partition with ROX but not Dolphin? Try clicking on the icon in the lower left and making sure the partition is mounted before trying to access with Dolphin 1) No...

@ Barry I have good and bad news. I have found the reason for the malfunction. In order to accept the TLS certificate Internet time must be activated in the system . Therefore, if Internet time is not activated Flapi cannot work correctly. One could add a warning for that. This would be appropriate ...

So, I did Quick Setup once again and I restarted Flapi. But this time the Dolphin flatpak was not removed and all settings remained. So I manually deleted the Dolphin file on /usr/local/flatpak/custom and added it once again by pressing the Customize button. But unfortunately no luck: the download d...

dunno if this makes a difference, but I recently installed easy on a usb and @ first boot Quick setup, the default keyboard was set to turkish and I did not change it. I could not log on to the forum hmmm........... went back and ran Quick setup again with the approiate values and logged on as norm...

If I type on Sakura: # flatpak search dolphin the program is found on the repository. But, if I type: flatpak install Dolphin or: flatpak install org.kde.dolphin I do not only get the error message concerning the TLS certificate, but also another one, stating that The application org.kde.dolphin/x86...

I just followed step by step the istructions, entered the flathub url, flappi does its check and then it downloads and install the apps. The Okular custom file somehow disappeared, but the Dolphin one reads: cCATEGORY='system' cURL='https://flathub.org/apps/org.kde.dolphin' cTRIPLET='org.kde.dolphi...

Fearing to be doing anything wrong, I also repeated the procedure by using the .flatpakref file, and I always get the same unacceptable TLS certificate error:

Could this maybe be related to translations?

but when I try to install it I still get immediately the message stating that "The Flatpak was not installed". Is the information I added correct? May anybody help? There was one other person reporting the tls certificate problem when trying to register with flathub. I don't know why that...

Out of curiosity I tried installing Okular and Dolphin using the method described in Barry's blog here (including the GUI for customized entries) https://bkhome.org/news/202305/user-customization-added-to-flapi.html and they seems to work well OOTB although it was a huge download (by Puppy standard...

Found this page: https://bkhome.org/news/202305/user-customization-added-to-flapi.html I didn't read it. So I apologize for my ignorance. Barry please accept my apologies. Even though no one has directed me there, even after more than 200 visualizations. Anyway, I managed to add Dolphin to Flapi wit...

So, I did some checks: I installed a new blank Easy 5.4.3 image on another USB stick and I tried to install these flatpaks on it, so that no library conflicts may arise because of other non official packages already installed by me. I discovered that the problem is not that Okular doesn't work after...

have you tried to run a fully configured KDE distro in Qemu? if I recall correctly, SUSE does KDE well Ugh... of course there are distros which run the KDE perfectly, and of course QEmu may also be used to emulate any other distro (I have to try this, also for testing the added 9P functionality. I ...

If I remember well I've already tested that Okular flatpak and it doesn't work (after the installation the program does not start). Anyway, I hope that any solution is found as soon as possible. @ all - Can anyone re-test the Okular flatpak please? - Does anyone know if there's a way to add further ...

@Federico guess I need to read closer :oops: @all is there a way to try out new flatpacks that have not been added by barry to the flappi list/repo? you have probably seen this one? https://flathub.org/apps/org.kde.dolphin I don't know if it can be installed on Easy in any way because, as already n...

I think so. Not very expert about this. Flatpaks and App-Images are a new thing. I've already read on another thread about people adding flatpaks to installers. Barry is also testing a new installer, as far as I've understood. https://www.forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=8248 But the point is th...

Therefore, we are still running Dolphin and Okular without problems . And, the reason why I opened this thread is that since Barry has begun to develop own versions of these packages, I think that it would be beautiful and useful if he directly adds to EasyOS the possibility to install and run (som...

Just tried SpaceFM. The version for Bookworm doesn't work, requiring GLIBCXX_3.4.30, so you can forget it. The Bullseye version is useable, needing also libffmpegthumbnailer4v5_2.1.1-0.2+b1_amd64 . Screenshot(14).png This was born as a fork from PCmanFM-QT. It is in fact very similar to PCmanFM-QT. ...

I think Dolphin and Okular are too big and too heavy to easy. I use spacefm on easy ,it is small,fast and powerful. Hi, thank you very much for your answer. I can assure you that they're neither too big nor too heavy. We have been using them more than 2 years long now, without any single problem. T...

Didn't you already do this? See this post by you: https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=92583#p92583 I would agree it would be better to not try and have the programs preinstalled, but a good how to on adding them, after you get EasyOS up and running. Hi, thank you for your answer. I have pe...

Barry, I get asked by people using Easy for working about the possibility to add Dolphin and Okular from KDE to EasyOS. Okular is more refined than Evince. It adds functionalities for: - Adding bookmarks - Adding annotations - Highlighting text and this is so much more comfortable than Evince for pe...

I also solved the non-working desktop and tray shortcuts!

I just added the export QT_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/lib/qt5/plugins line to /etc/profile.d/qt5

So everything is fine for us.
Thanks again, Barry.
