Can't open file in certain kde runtime based apps #1276

eszlari · 2017-12-24T01:10:42Z

I can't open a file in the following kde runtime based apps:

io.mgba.mGBA (File -> Load ROM)
org.fedoraproject.MediaWriter (Custom image)
org.subsurface_divelog.Subsurface (File -> Open logbook)

It works in the following apps:

net.mediaarea.MediaInfo (wxwidgets, gnome runtime)
org.gnome.gedit (gnome runtime)
org.videolan.VLC (freedesktop runtime)
org.musescore.MuseScore (also kde runtime based, but working!)

Tested on Ubuntu 17.10 and Fedora 27.

I can't reproduce this in Subsurface. Was there a runtime update in the meantime?

eszlari · 2018-01-08T04:24:47Z

I think, I found the cause. If you run:

$ flatpak run --command=sh org.subsurface_divelog.Subsurface

Then inside the sandbox:

$ rm /run/run/user/1000/flatpak-info
$ subsurface

Now the file open dialog pops up again normally.

#if QT_CONFIG(dbus)
    return !QStandardPaths::locate(QStandardPaths::RuntimeLocation, QLatin1String("flatpak-info")).isEmpty();
#else
    return false;
#endif // QT_CONFIG(dbus)
}

Should be fixed with the next KDE runtime update.

eszlari · 2018-01-10T17:26:49Z

With the updated runtime all apps I tested worked, except one: org.fedoraproject.MediaWriter

julianrichen · 2018-01-10T18:31:27Z

@eszlari it should have been fixed with the KDE runtime update. You might want to notify @MartinBriza if that's the case here:
FedoraQt/MediaWriter#144

eszlari · 2018-01-10T23:59:33Z

Maybe org.fedoraproject.MediaWriter needs to be rebuild against the updated runtime, I don't know. But since the trick to $ rm /run/user/1000/flatpak-info still works, I think its not the app's fault.

grulja · 2018-01-15T06:42:34Z

Can you please now verify with latest runtime? There should be an update with a fix which hopefully fixes this issue.

eszlari · 2018-01-15T14:58:44Z

It works now.

eszlari · 2018-02-07T22:30:47Z

@grulja After the rebuild of the kde runtime (flatpak/freedesktop-sdk-base#15), it seems, this bug is back again in a specific circumstance: Running https://github.com/flathub/org.kde.krita under KDE. Other Qt apps are not affected (as far as I tested) and under GNOME there's no problem.

Hello,

I am still suffering this issue with while trying to prepare package for my application and the workaround still works for me.

Could you please reopen this?

grulja · 2018-07-26T09:14:05Z

Can you share your application? Which desktop do you use?

matwey · 2018-07-26T09:19:30Z

I am running org.kde.Platform//5.9
The same happens for 5.11.

Package is here https://transfer.sh/NjxWC/space.fips.Fips.flatpak
Normally, the application raises open dialog at start.

grulja · 2018-07-26T10:42:53Z

It works for me. When I start it, it immediately opens a dialog.

matwey · 2018-07-26T10:48:55Z

What flatpak version do you use? In my distro there is Flatpak 0.10.4

grulja · 2018-07-26T11:15:14Z

I use flatpak-0.99.3 at this moment, which will be future 1.0 release. Previously we had flatpak-0.11.x in Fedora and I'm pretty sure it worked with this version as well.

grulja · 2018-07-26T11:33:17Z

Actually, this is more related to xdg-desktop-portal and backend implementation of portals. What versions of xdg-desktop-portal and backend (xdg-desktop-portals-kde or xdg-desktop-portal-gtk) do you have?

matwey · 2018-07-26T11:48:42Z

xdg-desktop-portal 0.10
xdg-desktop-portal-kde 5.12.5

Would be interesting to see DBus communication. Can you run "dbus-monitor --session" in a terminal and open your app? Then attach output from dbus-monitor here.

It looks like xdg-desktop-portal is not running, can you verify that? It should be started automatically, but you might have it installed in a wrong location and given that, it fails to autostart.

matwey · 2018-07-27T19:36:30Z

There is one process running. ```

Hi,

I've restarted my user systemd session, and now the dialog is opened. I cannot reproduce the issue anymore. Sorry for disturbing.

matthiasclasen · 2018-11-23T23:02:21Z

Maybe org.fedoraproject.MediaWriter needs to be rebuild against the updated runtime, I don't know. But since the trick to $ rm /run/user/1000/flatpak-info still works, I think its not the app's fault.

Its not a 'trick', its just breaking the sandbox plumbing. But the fact that it is possible is a bug.
That file should be immutable inside the sandbox.
