Hello everybody,
A presentation of PanWriter is here : https://panwriter.com/
An appimage file is available there : https://github.com/mb21/panwriter/relea ... 3.AppImage
I downloaded it, I made it executable with
Code: Select all
chmod a+x PanWriter-0.8.3.AppImage
The --no-sandbox option is necessary.
I typed in a terminal :
Code: Select all
./PanWriter-0.8.3.AppImage --no-sandbox
Then,Then, I got the following error message :
[6691:0211/112609.479953:ERROR:bus.cc(393)] Failed to connect to the bus: Could not parse server address: Unknown address type (examples of valid types are "tcp" and on UNIX "unix")
[6691:0211/112609.480209:ERROR:bus.cc(393)] Failed to connect to the bus: Could not parse server address: Unknown address type (examples of valid types are "tcp" and on UNIX "unix")
Error loading or parsing YAML file.ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/root/.config/PanWriterUserData/settings.yaml'
Checking for update
Update for version 0.8.3 is not available (latest version: 0.8.3, downgrade is disallowed).
checkForUpdatesAndNotify called, downloadPromise is null
[6758:0211/112615.667508:ERROR:sandbox_linux.cc(376)] InitializeSandbox() called with multiple threads in process gpu-process.
I don't understand it.
But I saw that the '/root/.config/PanWriterUserData/settings.yaml' file did not exist in the tree.
Can somebody to help me ?
Friendly.

Other than noting the dbus errors --which I don't know how to overcome-- I don't know why it doesn't run. I do know that you didn't tell us which Puppy you are running. If you did tell us which Puppy in a previous post (a) you have an unrealistic opinion of your importance thinking we'd remember; and (b) you may now be using a different Puppy.
Not all AppImages will run in all Puppies. AppImages are supposed to be 'self-contained': include all dependencies. But there are thousands of LInux versions, all built slightly differently. Creators of AppImages only test against Ubuntu, and a couple of the 'major players'. Puppy is not among those; and Puppy comes in many flavors, each built somewhat differently.
FYI, for a 'distraction-free' word-processor, you might want to try focuswriter, https://gottcode.org/focuswriter/ which is available for many Linuxes, and runs OOTB under many Puppys. Older versions can be found for older Puppys, for example, https://oldforum.puppylinux.com/viewtop ... 7f#p896941

TU for your reply mikeslr.
I'm sorry, I forgot to specify the Linux distribution used :
EasyOs Dunfell64 3.3.
you have an unrealistic opinion of your importance
No need to be hurtful .
Okay about focuswriter, i'll try.
Salutations.

Uh. that's your problem, right there.
From what I understand, no official packages from anywhere will actually run under 'Dunfell'.....other than those Barry has compiled specifically for Dunfell's dedicated repo. I don't pretend to understand why this is so, but I DO know you're not the first to come up against this issue....
