Flatpak fails to launch on Artix Linux with dinit: No systemd user session available
Describe the bug OpenAndroidInstaller fails to launch via Flatpak on Artix Linux with dinit init system, throwing "Failed to run in transient scope: No systemd user session available, cgroups not available" error.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Install OpenAndroidInstaller via Flatpak on Artix Linux with dinit init system
- Run
flatpak run -v org.openandroidinstaller.OpenAndroidInstaller - Application fails to start with systemd session error
- See error logs showing transient scope creation failure
Expected behavior OpenAndroidInstaller should launch normally and display the main interface, as it would on systemd-based distributions.
Log file
F: Failed to run in transient scope: No systemd user session available, cgroups not available
F: Running 'bwrap --args 40 -- xdg-dbus-proxy --args=37'
F: Running 'bwrap --args 37 -- openandroidinstaller'
Desktop (please complete the following information):
- OS: Artix Linux (dinit init system, not systemd)
- Version: Latest Flatpak version from official repositories
- Init System: dinit with elogind for session management
- Display Server: Wayland
Additional context This appears to be a fundamental incompatibility between Flatpak's systemd dependency and non-systemd distributions. Despite having elogind properly configured and running, Flatpak still attempts to create systemd transient scopes. The user session is properly initialized (XDG_RUNTIME_DIR and XDG_SESSION_ID are set), and cgroups are available, but Flatpak cannot proceed without systemd user session support.
Request: Please investigate Flatpak compatibility with elogind-based systems for better support of systemd-free distributions like Artix Linux.
Thanks for reporting this issue!
Unfortunately, I don't know enough about Linux and specifically Artix Linux and systemd-free systems to address this issue. Do you have an idea what could be the issue? I was under the impression flatpak should work on all linux systems.
The recommended solution is to boot ubuntu from an USB drive for now.
Hi! I just discovered that the actual issue is different from what I initially reported. The "Failed to run in transient scope" message is just a warning - the container actually starts successfully via bubblewrap.
The real problem is that the application crashes with ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'flet_web'. Starting from Flet version 0.25, the web components were separated into a dedicated package.
Here's the fix needed in the Flatpak manifest (org.openandroidinstaller.OpenAndroidInstaller.json):
"modules": [
{
"name": "openandroidinstaller",
"buildsystem": "simple",
"build-commands": [
"pip3 install --prefix=/app --no-deps --find-links=\"file://${PWD}\" --no-index poetry-core==1.0.7 .",
+ "pip3 install --prefix=/app --no-deps 'flet[web]==0.26.0'"
]
}
]
Or add a separate module:
{
"name": "flet-web",
"buildsystem": "simple",
"build-commands": [
"pip3 install --prefix=/app --no-deps flet-web==0.26.0"
]
}
This should resolve the missing dependency issue.
Stop! My first checks (where the ModuleNotFoundError is) were performed outside the Flatpak container! I do not know what is wrong, here are the strace logs:

I just noticed that bwrap is taken from nix. I need to study this point.
Everything is fine with bwrap. First, OAI tries to find bwrap in nix paths, and then it finds a working /usr/bin/bwrap file and continues working. Idk what wrong.
Thanks for investigating!
It seems also the flatpak in general is broken... so it might not be an issue of Artix Linux.
I seem to have introduced some dependecy issues that are hopefully resolved soon.

Yes, I think this is a problem with flet-desktop.
Try installing flet[desktop,web] during the flatpak build. I think this should make a difference.
