Flatpak

[ghost]

Hi, i included flatpak the install...it seems to run, but it doesn't save the apps anywhere or populate apps in pcmanfm. Also, is there a work around for getting sudo working (not sure it needs as regular user).

Thanks.

Hi,

it seems to run, but it doesn't save the apps anywhere or populate apps in pcmanfm.

It does not add them to menus, but you can list all installed apps with ./conty.sh flatpak --user list.

Also, is there a work around for getting sudo working (not sure it needs as regular user).

You can replace sudo binary with a simple shell script like:

#!/bin/bash

exec "$@"

This may fool some applications, but won't give you root rights if you don't have them already.

i mean it runs, but it doesn't seem to actually save it anywhere. I don't know if it needs be modded to behave like it acts in an immutable filesystem similar to fedora blue or similar since / read-only and only ~/ is writeable. I looked in the root fs in the host (batocera) and it saved it in /var/lib/flatpak (which is the overlay)

Maybe i can symlink conti's /home/root/flatpak --> in the host /var/lib/flatpak

Disregard, realized i needs to use the --user flag, otherwise it defaults to system. Still weird it installed it to host's fs as root and didn't just fail trying to the container's root.
