Latest flatimage refuses to run

[Blad3forc3]

I get nothing when double clicking the run file (set as excutable)
This is what i get from the terminal

Verifying archive integrity... 100% MD5 checksums are OK. All good.

Hi @Blad3forc3 , thanks for reporting this issue. I've encountered it before, it is not on flatimage, but on the gameimage package. I've sent a fix on v0.6.9, is this the version you are using?

[Blad3forc3]

Yes version 0.6.9 gives me this error

Also on your latest flatimage when i type ./jammy.fim i get this error

bash: ./jammy.fim: Text file busy

Just an idea but the flatimage pack is crying out for a gui.

[ruanformigoni]

Could you tell me what is the output of ls -Rla /tmp/gameimage/, after trying to run the .run file?

[Blad3forc3]

Not a problem Ruan, this is the output after trying to run the gameimage run file

ls -Rla /tmp/gameimage/

Thanks for that, I'll investigate on a new kubuntu machine. For the bash: ./jammy.fim: Text file busy, this can happen when the application is still open (or it has hung or in a crashed state). If you run the mount command, you should see some line like this one: /home/ruan/Downloads/jammy.fim on /tmp/fim/instance/4f25483_20231224135601/mount/ENmLoc type fuse.ext4). If your application is not running anymore, you can use something like fusermount -u /tmp/fim/instance/4f25483_20231224135601/mount/ENmLoc to fix this. Otherwise, try to kill it in the process manager beforehand. This is indeed a point of improvement, I get this error with AppImage too sometimes, I think that a tray icon to indicate that the application is running, with a 'kill' option on right click could help.

I was able to replicate the issue. Sorry for these recent bumps, I'm trying to reach the end goal of this project, to be runnable in several linux distros without additional dependencies, the recent changes and move to flatimage already allows it to run on alpine linux, also it does not require the fuse library installed on the host unlike it was with appimage. Thanks for your help to identify these problems 😄

[Blad3forc3]

It's no problem Ruan. I will try and use the flatimage when it is more usable of course :)
One question once flatimage is better would it be relatively simple to convert an older appimage into a flatimage because i have made a few (over 1500) :)

[ruanformigoni]

It should be working now on v0.7.0. That's a lotta games 😄 Yes, that could be achieved with a simple script.

[Blad3forc3]

WHen i run 0.7.0 and select build, after ive slected the exe i get this

[*] Install method: overlayfs
Application could not be started, or no application associated with the specified file.
ShellExecuteEx failed: File not found.

[ruanformigoni]

That's odd, maybe it is a missing file or corrupt build dir, it worked on a kubuntu 23.10 VM.

[ruanformigoni]

Should be fixed by the project rework 😄
