Issue/Bug Description:

I'm trying to get the TypeScript plugin for Sublime-Text 3 to run on Pop! OS. This plug-in needs access to the node executable for nodejs to function. It seems like apps downloaded from Pop! Shop, when launched, are set in a chroot-jail-like environment; and most binaries needed are missing. More details on my issue can be found here. https://forum.sublimetext.com/t/bug-sublime-text-cant-find-nodejs-on-pop-os-ubuntu-20-10/55553

I would like to know how to change this chroot-jail-like environment (ie, add node to it), or how to override it, and run an app un-chrooted.

Other Notes:

I tried to go to the mattermost channel to ask this question but there was "no team I could join", apparently. Additionally, this might be a better place to have a reference on how to solve this issue than mattermost.

It seems like apps downloaded from Pop! Shop, when launched, are set in a chroot-jail-like environment; and most binaries needed are missing.

I see someone on the Sublime Text forum suggested this to you, but they were not familiar with Pop!_OS and were only giving you a guess at what might have been happening:

Sublime doesn’t do that; it’s just a standard application. It sounds like PopOS is a Linux distro that tries to run all apps in their own sandboxed chroot jail or something along those lines, if the file system as Sublime sees it is different than reality.

Pop!_OS does not "try to run all apps in their own sandboxed chroot jail." I think what's going on is that you downloaded a Flatpak version of Sublime Text (the only Sublime Text available in the Pop!_Shop is a Flatpak):

The behavior you're seeing should be the same for Flatpaks on any distribution.

I would like to know how to change this chroot-jail-like environment (ie, add node to it), or how to override it, and run an app un-chrooted.

If the Flatpak package is not working for your use case, you can install the regular apt version using the instructions on Sublime's website: https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/linux_repositories.html

You might also want to report this on the GitHub repository for the Flathub package of Sublime Text, since that's most likely where this would need to be fixed: https://github.com/flathub/com.sublimetext.three

I tried to go to the mattermost channel to ask this question but there was "no team I could join", apparently. Additionally, this might be a better place to have a reference on how to solve this issue than mattermost.

What steps did you take to sign up for Mattermost? Does logging in or signing up again at this link not work? https://chat.pop-os.org/ If not, could you provide a screenshot of what you're seeing instead?

System76 customers can reach out to support for technical assistance. For non-System76 hardware, you can seek community support on Reddit or Mattermost.

I had a similar hypothesis before, but indeed the flatpak "sandbox" environment is the correct description.

If the Flatpak package is not working for your use case, you can install the regular apt version using the instructions on Sublime's website: https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/linux_repositories.html

Worked for me, thank you very much !!

It worked today, so I suppose this was probably an issue of my user account not being retrieved properly from the database, since I had just created it.

You might also want to report this on the GitHub repository for the Flathub package of Sublime Text, since that's most likely where this would need to be fixed: https://github.com/flathub/com.sublimetext.three

I created an issue to let them know. But since my problem is now solved by following the apt install procedure, I'm marking this as closed.

Many thanks again !
