Thank you so much, @rinigus. I've updated to SailfishOS 4 today and flatpak works fine, but I have two icons for every flatpak app. Does anyone how can I solve this issue?

me too. so far I moved the ones which were without icons just into some launcher folder that I usually don't visit. problem "solved"

tbh, I have no idea when I can look into it. So, investigation of the issue and finding solution for it is very much welcome.

@carmenfdezb, actually, looks like I found it by accident. new flatpak has environment generators and those confused SFOS. For example, while starting ssh session, I was getting

NOTICE: Env value ignored: XDG_DATA_DIRS=/var/lib/flatpak/exports/share:/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/

That also resulted in inability to scp to device. All turned out to be caused by env generators. As soon as those were removed from device, icons disappeared as well.

New flatpak has been just compiled. Update to that, reboot device, and it should all be fine.

Thanks again! After updating flatpak and rebooting my phone, icons disappeared.

I have just tried installing flatpak (following the instructions at https://github.com/sailfishos-flatpak/main) and then angelfish, but I find that the device reboots after installing angelfish. I thought at first that I had the same problem as @edp17 at #374 but it is in fact the opposite one: angelfish is installed, and I can start it with

Code:

flatpak-runner org.kde.mobile.angelfish

but there is no Angelfish icon in the app grid or Angelfish entry in Flatpak Runner. I believe that it is the installation of Angelfish that causes this, because I then tried installing the runtime first, giving me this starting point:

Code:

[nemo@Sailfish ~]$ flatpak list --user
Name                                 Application ID                                         Version         Branch
default                              org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default                                    19.08
KDE Application Platform             org.kde.Platform                                                       5.14
Maliit plugin for SailfishOS         org.kde.PlatformInputContexts.MaliitSailfishOS                         5.14

and then did:

Code:

[nemo@Sailfish ~]$ flatpak install --user -vv org.kde.mobile.angelfish

If I do

Code:

flatpak remove --user org.kde.mobile.angelfish

this also causes a reboot.

Any suggestions gratefully received. I am running SFOS 4.0.1.48 on an Xperia X F5122

EDIT: I tried the same with the Telegram app, and found the same: reboot when installing, no icon and no entry in Flatpak Runner. Also a reboot when uninstalling Telegram, but when I then uninstalled the package org.freedesktop.Platform.ffmpeg-full that Telegram pulled in there was no problem. This must be something to do with the wrapping-up of the install/deinstall process of an app, but I don't know enough about flatpak to say more than this. I'll need to find the time to acquire some flatpak-fu I guess....

Can't reproduce it over here, sorry. Just installed flatpak on a clean 4.0.1 SFOS / XZ2c and it worked as it should.

I presume that you have run flatpak-runner from grid or cmd line without any options. It is needed after installation of the apps to make them appear in the grid. Also it is needed to generate extension.

Maybe, just in case, run flatpak-runner and choose from pulley menu Extension/Update extension

OK - I didn't try this because I assumed that it was a different problem, but clearing the suid bit before installing and setting it again afterwards solved the problem. I should have tried this before posting.

Thanks, and sorry for the noise.
