bazzite-flatpak-manager fails to run

On a system that was rebased from an existing Silverblue installation to bazzite-deck-gnome, my system logs are filled with:

Dec 14 11:09:59 fedora systemd[1]: bazzite-flatpak-manager.service: Scheduled restart job, restart counter is at 283. Dec 14 11:09:59 fedora systemd[1]: Starting bazzite-flatpak-manager.service - Manage system flatpaks... Dec 14 11:09:59 fedora bazzite-flatpak-manager[29043]: cat: /etc/bazzite/flatpak_manager_version: No such file or directory Dec 14 11:09:59 fedora flatpak[29049]: system: Modified remote flathub to https://dl.flathub.org/repo/ Dec 14 11:10:00 fedora bazzite-flatpak-manager[29059]: error: org.gnome.Calculator/x86_64/stable is already installed from remote fedora Dec 14 11:10:00 fedora systemd[1]: bazzite-flatpak-manager.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE Dec 14 11:10:00 fedora systemd[1]: bazzite-flatpak-manager.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. Dec 14 11:10:00 fedora systemd[1]: Failed to start bazzite-flatpak-manager.service - Manage system flatpaks.

Also:

❯ flatpak list | grep Calculator
Calculator    org.gnome.Calculator    45.0.2    stable    fedora    system

❯ flatpak list | grep Calculator
Calculator    org.gnome.Calculator    45.0.2    stable    fedora    system

I believe that these are pre-installed Flatpaks from Silverblue. What's the best way to resolve this?

All right, this has been fixed! Thanks for the report

you can try remove calculator and the other flatpaks it complains about so the managed reinstalls them and is happy flatpak remove org.gnome.Calculator as the manager is meant to just install the flatpaks its supposed to install and then never run again. you can also stop it from running again by writing 9 into /etc/bazzite/flatpak_manager_version according to kyle

I suppose the most direct way would be for me to reinstall those Flatpaks from the flathub remote. This will still likely be a problem for other users who rebase from the offical Fedora Silverblue. Should bazzite-flatpak-manager perhaps aside from forcibly removing the fedora remote also automatically reinstall these fedora-sourced Flatpaks? If I just remove the Calculator Flatpak, then the script will not see it as an installed application and won't try to install it from Flathub. I will just have lost that Flatpak from my installation. Should I file this as a bug against bazzite-flatpak-manager?

bazzite doesnt use the fedora flatpak remote so removing/disabling that remote will be fine

HikariKnight•13mo ago

you can file it to bazzite i believe since you have a way to replicate it too so someone familiar with it can make a workaround in the manager i believe so the correct approach to fix it would probably be to disable the fedora remote and then uninstall calculator and the other fedora provided flatpaks 🤔 then the script should reinstall them from flathub i would imagine

I will take a look at this a little later today

Is it not checking for installed FPs anymore? Ope yup. We can't pass the whole list. We need to check for what's installed via $FLATPAK_LIST and omit it from $INSTALL_LIST https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/blob/5fbec9ef245f3cd9fd034beb19efa9c51556f0e0/system_files/desktop/shared/usr/bin/bazzite-flatpak-manager#L31 Can fix here in a little while Might be able to get it from my phone... But basically

for flatpak in $INSTALL_LIST; do
    if grep $flatpak <<< $FLATPAK_LIST; then
    INSTALL_LIST=$(echo $INSTALL_LIST | sed 's/$flatpak//'
  fi
done

for flatpak in $INSTALL_LIST; do
    if grep $flatpak <<< $FLATPAK_LIST; then
    INSTALL_LIST=$(echo $INSTALL_LIST | sed 's/$flatpak//'
  fi
done

That won't quite work. There are several applications whose names are extensions of other applications, e.g., org.gnome.foo and org.gnome.foo.bar that will probably bork the snippet above.

flatpak list --columns=application | grep -vf - /usr/share/ublue-os/bazzite/flatpak/install

flatpak list --columns=application | grep -vf - /usr/share/ublue-os/bazzite/flatpak/install

That snippet seems to do what you want: list everything from /usr/share/ublue-os/bazzite/flatpak/install that isn't already listed in flatpak list --columns=application.

Good point. Will look into it further Easy work around would be to run sed a single time And ensure packages are sorted properly sed '0,/$flatpak/{s///}'

JilongOP•13mo ago

To each their own style 🙂 I just favor pipes over loops.

EyeCantCU•13mo ago

Oh I didn't see you had a different solution there. I like it better lol

HikariKnight•13mo ago

i never managed to understand sed as i pefer the perl regex syntax way more for finding things 😅 (maybe because i scripted in perl for almost a decade)

All right, this has been fixed! Thanks for the report

EyeCantCU•13mo ago

I just pick up on things as I go. My favorite is whatever works 🙂

JilongOP•13mo ago

To close this thread and mark it as fixed, I'll note that this issue is fixed in the next bazzite release. Thanks again, @EyeCantCU!

Kyle Gospo•13mo ago

builds just finished this should be on all 3 branches now

HikariKnight•13mo ago

Which is why I use perl for regex instead of sed in scripts since perls original purpose was text parsing 😛
