apps can't access browser
Hi, recently I have switched to BlendOS, and I've been trying to set everything up, currently I'm having issues with signing in to a few apps that are in s container due to them attempting to open up the browser, to fix this I've tried to install firefox in said container, but that didn't solve the issue, and neither did installing chromium.
Currently I have two solutions that I can think of:
- biting the bullet and installing those apps on the host system (probably impossible since they are only available on AUR, so
sudo system install won't work in this case, and installing AUR packages on the host is a bad idea anyway)
- somehow fixing the problem inside containers
(the problematic apps in question are unity hub and github destkop, and whilst I can live without github desktop, since I can use git CLI, I however can't live without unity hub since then I can't launch unity)2 Replies
It’s like using the Firefox flatpak
Apps can’t access the browser
And Unity Hub is on the AUR, sorry
alright as it turns out there's an outdated flatpak version of unity (there exists apparently also an appimage but I had difficulties finding it, so I'm guessing unity has deprecated that one), and a normal for github desktop.
Thanks flatpak version of unity hub I was able to log in on the host and that logged me in on the container AUR version, though unfortunately that didn't work for github desktop, and this still isn't a solution for the problem.
