Flatpak release #86

alfureu · 2023-03-18T22:49:31Z

Would it be please possible to provide a flatpak release please? Quite interested, but does not run on Fedora 37

dweymouth · 2023-03-18T23:31:55Z

I'm guessing it's not running on Fedora because of libmpv being installed in a different location or different .so file name. Building from source would probably get it running.

I don't know much at all about Linux packaging (other than installing things via apt and snap), so I'm hoping someone from the community would be able to step up and volunteer for this! Though I'll look into it eventually if not

anarcat · 2023-04-05T15:22:37Z

I posted a flatpak request to their forum, see https://discourse.flathub.org/t/supersonic-lightweight-cross-platform-desktop-client-for-subsonic-music-servers/3984

dweymouth · 2023-04-05T15:30:38Z

Thanks! I am not too familiar with flatpaks, do you know if there are any git branching/tagging conventions I need to follow as a developer to play nicely with flatpak?

anarcat · 2023-04-05T15:44:57Z

I'm not sure, but I don't think so? As long as you tag releases, you should be fine.

If you want to just jump into this, there's a good first steps tutorial. I doubt it will get you going though, because you'll probably need some permissions to access the network, graphical interface and so on. They also have guides for specific environments but Golang is unfortunately not in there. You'll probably need to go through at least parts of the full build guide.

In any case, it looks like it's pretty well documented... I haven't gone through this process myself yet, but I've been considering it for this project considering how exciting it is. :)

dweymouth · 2023-04-05T15:56:45Z

That would be awesome if you or someone else could volunteer to look into the Flatpak build guide, since I have some new features I'd like to focus on implementing and also I have my day job too :)

dweymouth · 2023-04-05T16:07:48Z

Especially someone who uses Fedora, since it looks like the build steps should be simple enough to translate over (you'd probably want to omit the make package_linux step though since at least for apt the package itself is responsible for installing the executable to /usr/bin, and the .desktop file to /usr/share/applications, etc.

I think the biggest thing to figure out is what are the names of the dependency packages to install in the Flatpak environment

it's horrible in many ways, coming from debian packaging (#129):

because I need mpv, i need to not only download and build mpv, but also all its dependencies... which seems to be what everyone is (re)doing all over the place: https://github.com/search?q=org%3Aflathub+mpv&type=code
fyne is built on the fly there, without any cryptographic checks, which is Bad (unfortunately, i couldn't find another way, it seems this is the first Fyne app being flatpak'd: https://github.com/search?q=org%3Aflathub+fyne&type=code)
i'm not sure the finish-args will work
this fails to build with:

/usr/lib/sdk/golang/pkg/tool/linux_amd64/link: running gcc failed: exit status 1
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/12.2.0/../../../../x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lmpv: No such file or directory
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

so it looks like the mpv headers are there, but not the shared library, ugh.

anarcat · 2023-04-13T19:55:03Z

this almost works now, so i pushed it to a repo:

https://github.com/anarcat/com.github.dweymouth.supersonic

anarcat · 2023-04-14T00:55:37Z

this almost works now, so i pushed it to a repo:

"almost" as in: it doesn't actually work. the app compiles, and i can relink it with the Fyne command, but then it crashes on startup with:

panic: NotInitialized: The GLFW library is not initialized

@dweymouth any idea what could be missing in there?

you mentioned something about a fork of Fyne somewhere in #129, i don't think i see that in the README instructions... what are you refering to there?

The flatpak metadata file is here:

https://github.com/anarcat/com.github.dweymouth.supersonic/blob/main/com.github.dweymouth.supersonic.yml

it should be relatively readable, can you see if I am missing anything?

anarcat · 2023-04-14T01:46:25Z

ah, i simply needed to expose the normal x11 socket (not fallback). any chance this runs under wayland natively btw? :)

dweymouth · 2023-04-14T01:56:32Z

The go build command pulls dependencies listed in the go.mod file, which will pull down my fork of Fyne. If it compiles, that's not your problem. Does Flatpack disable OpenGL access by default? If so you need to enable it. The error message looks like it failed to initialize OpenGL

anarcat · 2023-04-14T02:00:28Z

i think i got past the graphical problems, i'm stuck at playing audio (e.g. #112) now. i suspect i might have hit the same bug i hit when i was running the beta release. i tried applying the patch (see #130 for the actual patch i did) and i don't get any output, so it fails before that step.

dweymouth · 2023-04-14T02:13:18Z

What subsonic server are you using? Does it work with the Navidrome demo server? #112 seems to be that MPV itself chokes on some playback URLs from airsonic, but I have never seen it with Navidrome

anarcat · 2023-04-14T02:19:16Z

What subsonic server are you using?

Navidrome.

Does it work with the Navidrome demo server?

Untested, but I did manage to make Supersonic work outside of the flatpak, remember, by compiling from git directly.

#112 seems to be that MPV itself chokes on some playback URLs from airsonic, but I have never seen it with Navidrome

After recompiling from the latest HEAD, I do get more debug output:

2023/04/13 22:15:30 Adding playback URL: https://sonic.anarc.at/rest/stream?c=supersonic&f=xml&id=REDACTED&s=REDACTED&t=REDACTED&u=REDACTED&v=1.8.0

but still no sound, and the "play" button turns back off after playing, so it doesn'T really work.

playing the above file in mpv itself on the commandline (outside of the flatpak, not sure how to do it inside) works fine.

i'm recompiling again with the latest latest (after your merge) to make sure i have the latest goods. :)

after recompiling with the latest head (440dee1), i see the same behavior: the play button turns to pause momentarily and then back to "play" again and no audio comes out.

anarcat · 2023-04-14T02:30:20Z

running out of ideas on this one... if you want to reproduce the issue, install flatpak and flatpak-builder on your platform of choice and follow the instructions in the README in https://github.com/anarcat/com.github.dweymouth.supersonic

i'm at the step where i run supersonic through strace and get way too much noise, i assume because of the golang concurrency stuff. you can get a shell in the sandbox with:

flatpak run --command=sh --devel com.github.dweymouth.supersonic

anarcat · 2023-04-14T13:51:30Z

Progress! I've been able to fix the mpv build to provide me with a mpv binary and, lo and behold, it can't play the file on its own!

anarcat · 2023-04-14T15:07:52Z

submitted this as a PR to flathub: flathub/flathub#4073

audio plays now, and the thing just generally works! the challenge now is to remove the --share=network at build time, which basically means bundling all the golang dependencies (!) in the manifest. i haven't figured out a clean way to do this just yet.

dweymouth · 2023-04-14T17:21:38Z

Go typically builds all the Golang dependencies into the binary statically, so makes sense.

anarcat · 2023-04-14T20:11:04Z

the flatpak PR is now ready to be merged, i believe i've done everything i could on that end. so if all goes well, you should end up on flathub shortly, whoohoo!

and, again, good job on this awesome client. :)

anarcat · 2023-04-14T20:18:32Z

@dweymouth the build fails because I haven't set an appstream data file... do you have one handy? see:

https://www.freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/chap-Quickstart.html

the automated flathub build failed because of that:

https://buildbot.flathub.org/#/builders/6/builds/35000

anarcat · 2023-04-18T13:20:49Z

the PR was merged and is now available on flathub! see https://github.com/flathub/io.github.dweymouth.supersonic for the repository and of course this page for installation instructions!

https://flathub.org/apps/details/io.github.dweymouth.supersonic

@dweymouth let me know if you want access to the flathub repository so you can make changes there yourself. generally, i'll make sure there's a bot that makes PRs when there are new changes upstream, but please do let me know the next time there's a release as i had to package the git version for now...

thanks!

anarcat · 2023-04-18T13:21:07Z

oh and this ticket can be closed of course, although I cannot do that myself...

dweymouth · 2023-04-18T16:37:55Z

Added the Flathub link to the readme. Thanks @anarcat!

dweymouth · 2023-04-22T19:09:12Z

@anarcat I released a new version today. I'm not sure what is the procedure to update the Flatpak. I did update the appstream metadata file.

Normally, Flathun should issue me a PR automatically, I'll wait a few days to see if it happens, otherwise i'll just do it myself. Feel free to remind me if i forget! :)

anarcat · 2023-05-02T14:42:13Z

i timed out on the bot, not sure it is supposed to pick it up because i don't actually have the tag in there yet. i made flathub/io.github.dweymouth.supersonic#8 to update to v0.1.0, but i see you already have a bunch of fixes on top of that... i guess i could make a beta branch for that as well?

UltraBlackLinux · 2024-01-26T21:51:06Z

ah, i simply needed to expose the normal x11 socket (not fallback). any chance this runs under wayland natively btw? :)

what did you do to make this work? After switching to fedora for better overall arm support, I sadly lost access to a repo package of supersonic, meaning I have to rely on flatpak.
I'm facing the crash you mentioned and I have no idea how you made this work on wayland - could you tell me how?
