I surely will do so.
Since you mentioned doing the install via the command line, is there some documentation for that (I assume you mean using cmd from the booted installer)?
Or use standard fedora live cd to install kinoite?

#43

All of this has to be done from a Fedora installer with the official installer Anaconda (doc).

#44

I’m up and running. Thank you for all the work you do. You are awesome!

but the gnome community doesn’t seem to be interested in aesthetics. what counts is technique and code, but not the end-user.

As I know many people in the GNOME community, I can assure you that this is manifestly not true. Let’s please keep the conversation here positive and on topic. Particularly, this thread isn’t about gathering opinions on GNOME design. It’s about building other options on the same rpm-ostree technology. The latter is awesome and let’s stick to discussing that. Thank you.

I have never encountered such an error before. Do you have overlayed packages? Enabling updates & updates-testing repositories feels strange on an ostree install. What did you do exactly?

#50

hello @Siosm and many thanks for doing that!!

On Silverblue 30 beta updates and updates-testing are enabled by default :confused: and i couldnt even disable them, b/c it will break my NVIDIA driver

now im re-trying on a clean SB installation on KVM, but im sure that i’ll get the same errors, but i will try to remove the updates and updates-testing to see if it works then

my OSTree Status i tested on before

Indeed! That’s a recent addition (see PR).

#54

Could you be more specific about the issues with Dolphin from Flathub?

#55

wait! i need to retest on Kinoite, because in GNOME (Silverblue image) maybe i had issues coz missing Plasma stuff!

#56

EDIT: LoL it started! after a couple of minutes :confused:

so, first issue is that Dolphin doesnt even start on Kinoite

flatpak run org.kde.dolphin 

First start: running kbuildsycoca5
kbuildsycoca5 running...
Qt: Session management error: Could not open network socket
#57

everytime you’re starting Dolphin, it gets like a minute to launch, so it isn’t just the first time; also it cant see Konsole, so the embedded Terminal doesn’t work; there are also some Todos and things that dont work on Flathub Repo

i believe it would be just fine to include it on Kinoite image; besides it is the filemanager, not something that someone wouldnt possible want to have …plus it has to work super correctly!!

#58

Indeed. I’ll add back file managers for all variants with the next update.

I just tried a rebase to this and it worked perfectly. I agree it does need a file manager. Thanks so much for the work on this and the other desktops. Silverblue rocks!

sorry, not wanting to use flatpak at all, add dolphin, ive actually spun up a bunch or thing i require, and really dont get the concept of flatpak … feels dockerish, anyway using silverblue / kinoite, so i can keep a clean system and not have to install a bunch of extra crap…

#61

oh boy, you are kinda missing the point by a mile…
Flatpaks are intended companion for SB unless you don’t need anything other then what is on the base image.

#62

im sorry to say however flatpak wount give you everything, i barely see the app i use daily on flathub, so why should i not just rpm-ostree install them and not waste more space with flatpak, and stay on one techhonogy…
