#Flatseal

Unfortunately, the webkit2gtk update on #ubuntu broke some keybindings and UI font rendering:

bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sou

In the meantime, I've switched over to the #epiphany #flatpak

To get accent colors to work, I added the following to ~/.config/gtk-4.0/gtk.css

@define-color accent_color #308280;
@define-color accent_bg_color #308280;

And then used #flatseal to give Web permissions to "xdg-config/gtk-4.0".

Okay, friends - as a relative newbie to #flatpak I was turned on to the magic that is #Flatseal, which is a utility that allows you to manage the sandbox environment for applications that you've installed via Flatpak. In my case, it was to allow #kiwix to save data to an external HDD. I didn't know about this tool, so that's why I'm telling you - just in case you didn't know about it either. :bec_wink:

If you're running Flatpak, I would highly encourage you to also install Flatseal to make configuring those apps for your particular system setup a breeze!

Another #3dprinting question - if I have a #BambuLab #3Dprinter, is using the #BambuStudio app the way to go for printing, or is there an alternative, better app I could use?

BambuStudio is nice in the sense that not only is it on
#Linux, but it's also avai as a #Flatpak which makes installing it easy, but idk... I've only started printing stuffs yest but so far, doesn't seem like that app is as intuitive as I'd want it to be. Things seem a lil messy and not quite what I imagined or like (I think) I've seen used by others on YT videos where you could see a preview of the model you're printing in 3D where you could adjust its angle and wtnot before sending it to print.

Any suggestions/pointers?

Update: OH, maybe I am supposed to be getting a 3D preview of what I'm printing, I just don't (on BambuStudio) cos it's an issue on Linux perhaps specifically for
#NVIDIA GPU users.

Update 2: Workaround to the missing preview issue. Include each of the following env variables to the app, using
#Flatseal if you're using the Flatpak:

__EGL_VENDOR_LIBRARY_FILENAMES=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/GL/default/share/glvnd/egl_vendor.d/50_mesa.json

WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1

WEBKIT_FORCE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1

WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1

Όποιος χρειάζεται GUI για να διαχειρίζεται τα permissions των flatpaks, πολύ βολικό και καλό είναι το Flatseal. Γίνονται όλα από κονσόλα βέβαια αλλά αυτό τα έχει μαζεμένα και τακτοποιημένα. #flatpak #flatseal

#Flatpak would be much better if #Flatseal functionality would be somehow embedded nicely straight into #GNOME settings. Lack of such functionality out-of-the-box is the main glitch of the Linux app ecosystem for me.

I would take the reference from privacy and security settings of macOS. Flatseal is pretty much the same deal, isn't it?

@yoyo308 @cpcbegin debe ser un problema con la configuración de permisos. En general, flatpak es bien restrictivo, pero se puede modificar. Puedes usar #Flatseal para gestionar de manera gráfica.
Lo que tienes que hacer es darle permiso de acceso a los directorios desde los que arrastrarás archivos.
A mi me pasaba lo mismo con thunderbird.
