Re: [GNC] GnuCash Flatpak on GalliumOS Linux
Thanks, Frank. This — sudo flatpak override org.gnucash.GnuCash --filesystem= — worked like a charm. The embarrassing thing is that, in searching for a solution, I actually looked at that page, but it didn't register that the flatpak sandboxing was my problem. Duh! Do I have to rerun that override command each time I start GnuCash? After a reboot? Or is it a persistent setting? On Mon, Aug 24, 2020 at 3:07 PM Frank H.

By default it only allows access to files in your home directory. You can widen the access by using the flatpak override command like so flatpak override --filesystem=host org.gnucash.GnuCash The "host" option in the command above is fairly new. Can you try this and report back if this works for you ?

[GNC] GnuCash Flatpak on GalliumOS Linux
Anyone have any experience with GnuCash installed via Flatpak on GalliumOS? (It's a niche distro designed to turn a Chromebook into a Linux machine.) I installed GC 4.1 and it runs fine ... except that it doesn't recognize the USB drive where I my data file lives. The USB drive and the data file, which I copied over from a working GnuCash installation on a Windows machine, show up fine in Thunar (Linux) file manager and via terminal CLI. The "open file" dialog format looks like GnuCash's, not like something I've seen on my Gallium machine. If I copy the data file to a location that shows up in the open-file dialog (e.g. Desktop) it loads fine. Any ideas how I can remove the USB drive's cloak of invisibility from the open-file dialog? Thanks, Art PS - I also posted my query in the GalliumOS subreddit, in case someone there has a solution. ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
