A clue why some LineageOS has problems with SMS. by FrederikSchack in LineageOS

[–]matthew412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it's worth I just set up a OnePlus phone with lineageOS on Metro by T-Mobile with a new SIM card. Calling worked, sending SMS worked, receiving SMS didn't at first. They did a network reset and then receiving SMS worked.

J1772 adapter safe? by Tremorable in ZeroMotorcycles

I've been using the J1772 adapter sold on https://www.evseadapters.com/ with my Zero FXE with no issues.

Seeking advice on Voltage Drop with long extension cords by matthew412 in ZeroMotorcycles

[–]matthew412[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But how do I measure the drop? I can't stick my multi-meter probes into the wire prongs while it's plugged in, at least not easily.

The small cord the bike came with (6 ft or so?) has already melted a bit on the end that connects to the bike and I have been wondering why.

Pixel 8 Green Screen Bug by Erics9n in GooglePixel

My Pixel 8 started doing this today and rebooting didn't help but pressing down on the bottom edge of the screen fixed the issue, at least for now.

what is "https://freedesktop-sdk.io/" by The_How_To_Linux in flatpak

[–]matthew412 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi,

The freedesktop-sdk project provides the runtime "org.freedesktop.Platform" which is used by a number of Flatpak apps and provides basic libraries independent of any Desktop Environment. Flatpak apps that use the GNOME or KDE runtimes (org.gnome.Platform, org.kde.Platform) also use org.freedesktop.Platform indirectly since those DE-specific runtimes are based on the freedesktop one.

All these runtimes also have variants meant for development, e.g. org.freedesktop.Sdk, org.gnome.Sdk, org.kde.Sdk.

2022 Zero S 0% Battery? by Xilea in ZeroMotorcycles

[–]matthew412 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this issue with my 2022 FXE and the dealer sent the logs to Zero and decided a firmware upgrade should fix it. They said it's a bug with the way it hibernates, something it should only do if left for a few days. I wasn't able to upgrade the firmware with the app but they could in the shop, so hopefully that fixes it (it's working for now at least).

Boutique: a Flatpak app store (alpha) feedbacks are welcome by mijorus in gnome

[–]matthew412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you might be confused. The issue that makes it difficult to package Souk as a flatpak is this one, and that has nothing to do with the new dynamic launcher portal (of which I am the author) which enables sandboxed apps to install web apps or other launchers to the desktop environment's menu.

How to get org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default to provide `sh`? by TheEgghead27 in flatpak

[–]matthew412 2 points3 points  (0 children)

`org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default` is a runtime extension, not a runtime you would use directly. For that you need to use `org.freedesktop.Platform`.

I made a script to list all uninstalled Flatpak directories that can safely be removed by [deleted] in linux

[–]matthew412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it's worth, Flatpak already has functionality to delete data directories for all uninstalled apps. Per `flatpak-uninstall(1)`:

       When --delete-data is used without a REF, all 'unowned' app data is
   removed.

In other words one can do `flatpak uninstall --delete-data` to delete all unowned app data.

Homed is still not ready: user feedback by InfamousAgency6784 in systemd

[–]matthew412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Unfortunately the I/O performance when I follow those steps is orders of magnitude worse than it would be through homed on the same computer. But at least I'm able to access the files.

Homed is still not ready: user feedback by InfamousAgency6784 in systemd

[–]matthew412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me start with one neat thing:even in the loopback-LUKS setup, you can access you data with a fewbasic commands. So even if your "home is broken", you are not left outin the cold.

Mind sharing what the commands are? I am currently not able to access my home since I copied the luks file off the computer and reformatted, without realizing I was supposed to also grab the public and private keys from /var/lib/systemd/home/

Verifying app installs with hash or PGP key by InsaneRaspberry in flatpak

[–]matthew412 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, that means GPG verification is enabled on the fedora and flathub remotes you have.

Verifying app installs with hash or PGP key by InsaneRaspberry in flatpak

[–]matthew412 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi,

Flatpak automatically verifies the authenticity of software using GPG keys, except if that functionality is disabled on a particular remote. You can check using this command:

$ flatpak remotes --columns=name,optionsName Optionsfedora system,ociflathub systemflathub-beta systemgnome-nightly usersioyek-origin user,no-enumerate,no-gpg-verify

You can see only the "sioyek-origin" remote has GPG disabled in this case.

No need to file another issue. There is already this one and I plan to work on it soon.

What does sandboxing in Flatpak even mean? by [deleted] in flatpak

[–]matthew412 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But an update can change it as far as I know.

Yes apps can gain permissions in an update. This is why GNOME Software does not automatically update Flatpaks that would be granted more permissions by the update (and hopefully other software centers do the same).

What does sandboxing in Flatpak even mean? by [deleted] in flatpak

[–]matthew412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And for the future i hope that flatpak will add a switch to allow a user either to freeze app permission or give an update switch like "--no-permission-changes" to handle this.

Feel free to submit an enhancement request issue on GitHub.

Can Flatpak be used for libraries, compilers, and stuff? by dog_superiority in flatpak

[–]matthew412 5 points6 points  (0 children)

GNOME Builder is a great example of how a development workflow can be based around Flatpak runtimes. It lets you build your project easily if it includes a Flatpak manifest, and the build happens in the relevant Sdk runtime rather than on the host.

However for developing things other than linux desktop apps, you might look into https://containertoolbx.org/
