System level flatpaks are not shown in "installed" (Fedora, all dependencies installed)

[ryanabx]

Fedora doesn't have any information on installed system-level flatpaks.

[mmstick]

Do you have packagekit packages installed? Flatpak only needs libflatpak.

[ryanabx]

I think I'm just missing the PackageKit package in the rpm spec, so I'll reopen this if that wasn't it.

@ryanabx I'm still building from source for the moment, what was the cause of missing flatpak?

[ryanabx]

Turns out requiring PackageKit doesn't work, and I was told on the discord that appstream is what Fedora uses, so cosmic-store might have issues with appstream idk. I never got it working on my end either, so reopening this issue

[mmstick]

The store itself is appstream-based. Same as flatpak.

The key part is:

[2024-04-19T22:15:04Z ERROR cosmic_store] failed to list installed: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name is not activatable
[2024-04-19T22:15:04Z ERROR cosmic_store] failed to list updates: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name is not activatable

Not sure which name here.

[flukejones]

I can't find org.freedesktop.PackageKit on my system session, only user session. I see that the backend is using a system session for it.

[mmstick]

Do you have org.freedesktop.PackageKit running on the system?

[flukejones]

@mmstick only in the user session. Not system session.

[flukejones]

Out of curiosity I changed the backend to use user-session and got:

[2024-04-19T22:28:31Z ERROR cosmic_store] failed to list installed: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: No such interface “org.freedesktop.PackageKit” on object at path /org/freedesktop/PackageKit

[flukejones]

@ryanabx missing the actual PackageKit rpm dnf install PackageKit

[flukejones]

I don't think it is showing or fetching flatpak info however.

[ryanabx]

@ryanabx missing the actual PackageKit rpm dnf install PackageKit

I have it as a required dependency on my packages, didn't make a difference unfortunately :|
