Hiring for Flatpak Automation
The desktop team in Red Hat has another open position. We’re looking for someone to work on Flatpak automation, for someone who enjoys working on infrastructure. Although the job description states 2+ years of experience, it’s suitable for juniors. Formal experience can be replaced by relevant open source contributions. Being onsite in Brno, Czech Republic is preferred, but not required. We’re open to hiring good candidates elsewhere, too.
If you’d like to know more about the job before formally applying, don’t hesitate to contact me on Mastodon, Signal, Matrix (@eischmann at fedora.im), or email.
Hmmm. Seems like most of the bugs I'm encountering are with the #Flatpak version of Filezilla.
Which hasn't been updated in two years
https://github.com/flathub/org.filezillaproject.Filezilla
That's the problem with community Flatpaks - no one is incentivised to keep them up to date.
The History of Flatpak
Quick poll for GNU/Linux users : what do you think about @ubuntu #snap
#packages (compared to #flatpak
and also #DEB
packages) ?

Need some #Kubuntu 24.04 help. I was playing an old windows game using the #wine #flatpak and this game changes the resolution. This game has worked using the wine PPA for me for the past 10 years. Then the game froze and brought up "Input Not Supported" on a blank screen as that window moved across the screen. Reboots did not help and the guest account works.

Hello guys, I released Serigy, an app to pin information from the clipboard.
The idea came about to solve the problem of copying multiple items at once and pasting them in different places. I was hesitant to use a clipboard manager because it felt invasive. After months of development and use, I decided to publish it.

In the wee small hours i decided to give #GnomeBoxes another chance as a possible alternative. Chose to install via #flatpak, coz my Host is
#ArchLinux #KDEPlasma & i did not wish to risk possible gnome vs plasma file conflicts.
It did a fine job of installing an #ArchLinux VM [which i completed using the latest #ArchInstall v3.0.3], so then in an act of gross stupidity i ridiculously chose to see if it could handle a win10 VM via a 3-yr old ISO i have lying around. As i abandoned windoze "for real" in 2014, i had forgotten the many hours of time-wasting bullshit involved, at the end of which instead of getting something decent, you just get... windoze, ugh.
Anyway, so far it seems that GnomeBoxes is going ok, which makes a nice change as all prior tests of older versions failed to work properly. Doubt though atm that it'll persuade me to give up on #qemu / #kvm / #libvirt / #VirtManager. GB has no facility to Suspend VMs, so they need to be fully shutdown, which is a drag. Also, the FP version does not support USB transfer, which is a bugger, & so far i've not made #SharedFolders work [but think i know why].
I am using #gnome48 with #wayland on #manjaro #linux (kernel 6.14) and have the problem that in #bitwigstudio (#flatpak) to rename a Cue Marker, it takes two clicks on the respective Cue Marker to accept keyboard input for renaming.
Bitwig support says this does not happen on their officially supported platform, Ubuntu. What could possibly be causing this?

I have been quite happy with /e/os on my #fairphone #FP3 the last few years - but it is beginning to deteriorate lately, with more and more apps not being able to run. #mobilepay for one, but now also #garmin #navionics #boating - since last update it will not show my location, it keeps asking for permission - which it already have. I can downgrade for now, but it is not really a viable solution I believe. So what to do? I really dislike the idea of having to install #googleplay services :(
I believe we really need an alternative #mobile os. A truely google free android would be fine with me for now, while a more navtive #linux becomes feasible and commercial/public app providers realizes that there is a need for #flatpak releases.
Meanwhile, could #e_os (#microG) be fixed somehow?
UPDATE: downgrading to version 2.22 of garmin boating fixed the issue for now.
The Future of Linux Software: Will Flatpak and Snap Replace Native Desktop Apps?
After wondering why the screen reader wasn't working with Flatpak versions of Chromium and GNOME Web, I figured I should document this somewhere
https://axel.leroy.sh/blog/how-to-fix-screen-reader-chromium-gnome-web
Finally got @kiwix installed on #LinuxMint & spent a couple weeks downloading #Wikipedia & #Gutenberg via slomo torrent. Total of about 200gb all browsable offline!
I ended up using Mint's slightly older repository version bc the up to date #flatpak was a little too much for this older computer I'm using.
Pretty happy with it! Recommended.
The Gnome Development Team always believes it is everyone else that is doing it wrong, and that we all need to conform to them.
