Can you run in the terminal flatpak run com.ml4w.sidebar and flatpak run com.ml4w.settings and share the error message?

[deniserdogan]

❯ flatpak run com.ml4w.sidebar error: app/com.ml4w.sidebar/aarch64/master not installed

❯ flatpak run com.ml4w.settings error: app/com.ml4w.settings/aarch64/master not installed

Did you run the setup script offered in the Dotfiles Installer?

[deniserdogan]

yes

i downloaded openh264 2.5.1 manually from rpm but script still tries to download it from ciscobinary

❯ flatpak search com.ml4w.settings No matches found

also can't find ml4w apps

[mylinuxforwork]

You’re not on x86 right? You have an arm chip? That’s the reason. Currently only x86 is supported. I am working already on an arm support for the apps. Should technically possible but was not able to compile them yet on my system.

[deniserdogan]

Thanks, waiting for the update

[Ilosariph]

Hey, I'm thinking of installing this on my m1 mbp. Is this a dealbreaker or is it still worth trying and completing the installation when this is done? If I can help with anything I'd be happy to.

[mylinuxforwork]

The dotfiles will generally work on ARM but not the ML4W apps. Currently only available for X86. I am still try to find out how to compile it on multiple platforms.

[Ilosariph]

Thanks for that answer. For anyone else that stumbles upon this thread: I just normally installed hyprland and didn't have any problems. Haven't used any dotfiles from anyone else yet.

Same on stock arm fedora inside of virtual machine(Apple M chip), all other things do work

[rozenstein94]

seems to me like fix would be as simple as adding

    "arch": {
      "aarch64": {
        "config-opts": ["--build=aarch64"]
      },
      "x86_64": {
        "config-opts": ["--build=x86_64"]
      }
    }
  },

to manifesto files of each tool, then

# For x86_64
flatpak-builder --force-clean --arch=x86_64 build-x86_64 com.ml4w.sidebar.json
# For Apple ARM (aarch64)
flatpak-builder --force-clean --arch=aarch64 build-aarch64 com.ml4w.sidebar.json

and then

flatpak build-export repo build-x86_64
flatpak build-export repo build-aarch64

flatpak build-update-repo repo --generate-static-deltas

Thank you for sharing this. I will give it a try immediately after the release of 2.9.9.3
