Interesting. I got the same results using the USM GUI. Apparently the SlackOnly mirror has problems.

The GUI doesn't show the version you are downloading it showed me 2 different ones.

I've seen issues regarding usm automatic resolution of dependencies. Never truly downloads packages. But I tried and got flatpak functioning with a workaround downloading packages manually, I used https://slackware.pkgs.org/.

At the end this are all the packages i downloaded and installed:
appstream-glib-0.7.15-x86_64-2_slonly.xzm
libseccomp-2.4.3-x86_64-1_slonly.xzm
libyaml-0.1.6-x86_64-1.xzm
glib-networking-2.64.2-x86_64-1.xzm
ostree-2019.6-x86_64-1_slonly.xzm
gpgme-1.6.0-x86_64-1.xzm
rpm-4.12.0.1-x86_64-1.xzm
icu4c-56.1-x86_64-2.xzm

Let me know if it works for you.

The whole process of the workaround is like this, if youre interested.

First searched and downloaded flatpak from that page. Noticing that it was the latest version and the x86_64 option
then moved it to decompressed it in the usm folder for orderly reasons.

Code: Select all

wget https://packages.slackonly.com/pub/packages/current-x86_64/desktop/flatpak/flatpak-0.8.1-x86_64-2_slonly.txz
mv /home/guest/Downloads/flatpak-1.6.2-x86_64-1_slonly.xzm /tmp/usm/

Then turned it into xzm and activated the module

Code: Select all

txz2xzm flatpak-1.6.2-x86_64-1_slonly.txz
activate flatpak-1.6.2-x86_64-1_slonly.xzm

Next tried to resolved dependencies using usm, basically tells you which modules to download, it's just that never truly downloaded the packages:

Code: Select all

usm -d flatpak-1.6.2-x86_64-1_slonly.xzm
14.2+

I downloaded all of them and proceded to make all of them xzm and activated them. I did the whole batch at the same time, moved them to a folder, just be careful you dont have any other txz in the same folder:

Code: Select all

mkdir flatDependencies
mv *txz flatDependencies/
cd flatDependencies
txz2xzm *txz
activate *xzm

Then I retried to resolve dependencies with usm -d flatpak-1.6.2-x86_64-1_slonly.xzm a couple more times. I repeated downloading, transforming to xzm and activating with the rest of libraries needed. In the end usm finally tells you you have no more pendant dependencies:

Code: Select all

usm -d flatpak-1.6.2-x86_64-1_slonly.xzm 
14.2+

Missing dependencies: 0

Then you can try using flatpak!

Let me know if this somehow works for you.

I have had installed flatpak, but probably incorrectly. It complains there's no libostree. When I order to install ostree form slonly (the same repo I installed flatpak from) and selecting hexainator as dependency, dependency error occur. When installing flatpak, I also selected hexainator and also from slonly.

[Ed_P]

It should be noted Lachu that nachosan ran his detailed steps on the 5.0rc1 test system. Are you using the test system or the 4.0 system?

[Lachu]

I'm using stable version (4) .

Thank you Ed_P, that is correct, I'm not using v4. Newbie error. Haha!

I see Lachu in your screen that usm exit with an error. It means didnt installed the libraries.

Why dont you try installing the packages individually like:

Code: Select all

usm -g ostree
usm -g appstream-glib

and so forth, and if not possible, download through web browser like i described in my previous comment.

when you have installed those packages you can either try flatpak once again or deactivate and activate once again.

[Lachu]

I cannot install it with -g switch, because I have dependency error after downloading (similar error like with flatpak). But I can probably download it by hand and them install in similar way it was described here. I will try tomorrow.

[Ed_P]

Lachu have you updated the USM databases? Have you tweaked the mirrors (via sesm)?

[Lachu]

I never used porteus before. I'm C/PHP/JavaScript developer. I known in many cases if something is for everything, is for nothing, nut I fell good with system administrator. I never used pure slackware distros. I used Ubuntu, Debian, OpenSUSE and KateOS. I use GNU/Linux system for long time. Maybe this will tell you about my knowledge. I use rather simple for use distros.
So can you provide me a link with description of term you use? I do usm -u all many times, but sesm?

[Lachu]

I installed newest porteus again (5), but the error wasn't missing. I must tell you the story. Firstly, I installed porteus 5, but slacky repo doesn't worked, so I must change mirror. After this installation of flatpak end ups with error: no search result (nothing found or something). So I installed porteus 4. You known what I do between. But today I decided to install porteus 5 again and detect, what I could do wrong. I start freshly installed porteus 5 and have messes from 4. So I make filesystem on porteus 5 partition and install it again. No search result error reappear. Today I will format the partition again and install porteus 4.

I have one question - could I install newer version of flatpak (version with number above 1 major number will be best).

[Ed_P]

USM does not work in the 5.0rc1 test system. In version 4 it is necessary to run the USM Update All the 1st time you use USM. USM uses a number of distributions which use a number of mirrors. Some mirrors have problems periodically and need to be updated which with the pandemic can take a while. The easiest solution is to use a different mirror. Manually tweaking the mirrors works but there is a script, named sesm, that tweaks the mirrors automatically to the fastest one available for your location. That script is found here: [INFO & SCRIPT] Slackware Mirror Settings for USM

hi lachu i have tried to do a package of flatpak,but i have used the current sbo and not the 14.2 so you need also glib-networking and gsetting-desktop-schemas avahi rpm and libyaml to work with flatpak
http://www.mediafire.com/folder/u2cud9974iton/flatpak this is the temporary link to download the folder i have installed into a /mnt/sdg1/porteus/porteus-v5.0-x86_64. so you can try if work for you ps: you can install slpkg it is like usm but do not merge and do the xzm packages for you ,you have to build with the porteus script in /opt directory
this is the terminal action: seem that work,
guest@porteus:~$ su root

[Lachu]

I download each file and perform:

Code: Select all

for a in *; do activate ${a}; done

But it complains about missing libdconf.so.1, when trying to run flatpak.

[beny]

hi lachu the system where flatpak run is porteus-v5.0-x86_64. stock, only the firefox browser in, and for me do not have this issue with dconf,you have put all in modules folder at reboot you have all activated.
