flatpak and retroarch

    with the newest release retroarch isn´´ t working anymore, when i start the flatpak retroarch pack nothing appears and after 5 sec. i am landing on the main screen. With any other flatpak happens the same...


    systemctl stop kodi

    Please post logs, start a flatpak addon and then run "pastekodi" and post the URL.

    Also please try with older versions of the flatpak addon and report back which ones work and which don't.

    so long,

    I tried as cleab install and is missing kernels after also donwnloads throung online updates. It is maybe about rights of writing and reading of files in this flatpak (this sandbox solution is not good for RA at small boxes). Also is missing support for openal in comparing to addon retroarch for coreelec at CE.

    Another set of logs if it helps -> https://paste.libreelec.tv/unlost-alaya.log

    This combination works LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-13.0-nightly-20260714 + Flatpak 12.80.7.12 + VacuumTube 12.80.7.0

    LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-13.0-nightly-20260801 doesn't work, Flatpak & VacuumTube versions appear to be the same.

    For what its worth ChatGPT blames the update of ibdisplay-info from version 0.3.0 to 0.4.0 on July 28.

    The updated externalhelper addon (12.80.7.9) is now available in our repo.

    Please give it a try and report back if it works - if it doesn't please post a pastekodi log.

    so long,
