Hi,
I have a problem that when I build flatpak locally and try to install from local repository or from a flatpak bundle that was created locally that I get an error that does not happen when running from a build made on the flathub server. I can run manually from the flatpak build folder just fine however. Just doesn’t work when installing like a user would. The app in question is com.bitwig.BitwigStudio.
The error I get is this when I try to run the app after installation:
bwrap: Can’t mkdir /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu: Read-only file system
error: ldconfig failed, exit status 256
We need the i386 compatibiility extension in order to be able to run i386 audio plug-ins (VST2).
Here is how our manifest looks:
---
app-id: com.bitwig.BitwigStudio
command: bitwig-studio
runtime-version: “21.08”
runtime: org.freedesktop.Platform
sdk: org.freedesktop.Sdk
finish-args:
We need MIDI, Audio, USB, DRI, and realtime performances
- –device=all
Needed to talk with X11, Wayland, pulseaudio and pipewire
- –share=ipc
- –filesystem=xdg-run/pipewire-0
- –socket=pulseaudio
- –socket=x11
Needed for updating the sound content, checking for online notifications and authentication
- –share=network
For desktop notifications
- –talk-name=org.freedesktop.Notifications
Give access to the host filesystem
Bitwig Studio is a media application, and many users have files
on removable media and various locations.
As of today it is too complicated to ask the user to run commands in
the terminal to grant more permissions to Bitwig Studio.
Once there is an easy and graphical way to tweak the sandbox permission
we may switch to the home only.
- –filesystem=host
Java stuff
-
–persist=.java
-
–persist=.BitwigStudio
-
–persist=Bitwig Studio
-
–env=ALSA_CONFIG_PATH=
-
–env=VST_PATH=/app/extensions/Plugins/lxvst
-
–env=VST3_PATH=/app/extensions/Plugins/vst3
For 32 bits plugin host
- –allow=multiarch

The manifest is basically the same when we build on flathub apart from how we obtain the source which we download from a server ranther than it being a local file.
I’m not sure how to debug this to find out where the problem lies. Any help greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
