Bug ID: 506079
Summary: flatpak-integrator doesn't work if $HOME is a symlink
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasma-browser-integration
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: Flatpak
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: k...@privat.broulik.de
Reporter: santiagocezar2...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Aurora is an immutable distro based on Fedora Kinoite. In both distros, /home
is a symlink to /var/home, because of this the flatpak-integrator fails to
install the plasma-browser-integration-host into all flatpaks.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make a symlink to your home directory.
2. Run kded6 --replace with $HOME set that it points to the symlink.
OBSERVED RESULT
flatpak-integrator doesn't install the integration.
EXPECTED RESULT
flatpak-integrator should install the integration.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
(available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window)
Linux/KDE Plasma: Aurora 42
KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.15.0
Qt Version: 6.9.1
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This can be work around by setting HOME to /var/home/user, but it's not the
default in these distros.
Looking at the code, this seems to be expected behavior? Couldn't find what's
the reasoning behind it though
