RPM package not installing properly
I'm trying to install remotepc from idrive, to remote manage my system, I used them for my online backup solution and their other programs were somewhat straightforward. However, I've installed the RPM provided but all the packages aren't being installed. No error, but if I try to install again, I get its "already layered". When I try to install something else via DNF, the other package installs and also states its installing all the packages for remotepc, but they never install.
Anyone know where I might start with sorting this?
Thanks

If you layer a new package, you need to restart the machine for the layered packages to take effect.
II've done a few restarts since this issue 🙂
If you type
remotepc terminal after you have installed do you get some form of error?bash: remotepc: command not found
Managed to get the app installed and the documentation gives you the wrong instructions by the looks of it. I can start the application by running
remotepc-host (it says remotepc on the site, which is wrong) from the terminal
🥲 Yep, that did it. I was getting thrown by the packages when installing dnf plus the lack of the command working. Appreciate that haha
just remember on atomic desktops it's
rpm-ostree install and not dnf install. They try and do a wrapper but it's a bit weird on some of the commandsI'll bare that in mind. Thanks
