Flatpak permission issues

Locutus · June 17, 2023, 12:57pm

I just installed Big Linux which is Arch based, did my updates once on the desktop, rebooted, did all my tweaks, installed my software without issue except for SMPlayer. I installed it from Community and when launched no bottom bar. I then uninstalled it and installed from the AUR, again no bottom bar. I then proceed to uninstall it from AUR and install the Flatpak version and received permission issues. I’m not sure what is going on since I had already installed Nuclear from the terminal using Flatpak. Any idea why I would get permission issues on SMPlayer and not Nuclear?

bug

I installed Big Linux a couple of days ago and when I installed SMPlayer I had n…o bottom bar. I proceeded to remove it and install from Flatpak and got that you see below about permissions. **To Reproduce** Steps to reproduce the behavior: 1. Launch Konsole 2. Launch pacseek from Konsole 3. Search and install SMplay and Skins. first from Community then AUR when there was no bottom bar on SMPlayer 4. Attempted to install Flatpak version only to get a permissions error **Expected behavior** For SMPlayer to install from Flatpak without issue **Your Enviroment** - SMPlayer version: Flatpak 22.7.0. Snap Version currently installed 22.7.0 working as expected - OS: Big Linux - Arch based - Multimedia engine you're using with SMPlayer (preferences -> general): [ ] MPlayer [ X] MPV ~~~ ❯ flatpak install smplayer Looking for matches… Found ref ‘app/info.smplayer.SMPlayer/x86_64/stable’ in remote ‘flathub’ (system).
