Flatpak on Trisquel 7
- Inicie sesión o regístrese para enviar comentarios
Hi all,
I'm new here. Running Trisquel 7. Want to run Softphone (program to manage VOIP phone through internet). It requires an app inside Flatpak. Flatpak isn't in the Trisquel repo. I found a PPA for Flatpak, but it didn't contain the Softphone app.
Flatpak is supported in the Debian repo, but I don't know if it is possible/advisable to use a Debian repo aside from Trisquel just to use Flatpak. Thank you.
Flatpak is just a way to install software, the softphone application or any other software you might want to install via flatpak won't be there.
You gotta install flatpak with the PPA and then download the software you want and install it with Flatpak.
However, I don't know which package is the one you want to install and if it is free software, so I can't help you more than that.
You should check if what you are going to install is free software, as Trisquel can't do it for you.
Thank you. Tried again to install the PPA (https://launchpad.net/~alexlarsson/+archive/ubuntu/flatpak), after that if I run the command flatpak it says command not found. I don't know if it's me or the PPA, but since it's built for Ubuntu, I can't complain.
>ppa
:'(
If I can let the Softphone project manage the VOIP phone connection, then I can take the step to use a libre cmc router, and ditch the physical phone. Not everybody can be a professional programmer/hacker. Don't worry, I'm from the Netherlands :-)

That's weird. What did you do and what's the output?
Did you read your terminal when installing?
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:alexlarsson/flatpak
[sudo] password for *:
Linux application sandboxing and distribution framework (formerly xdg-app)

As mentioned earlier, flatpak is just a way for installing programs, so don't get too hung up any one particular method of installing a program. It would be good if you were to say what the actual name of the voip software you wanted is. Surely it has a name... :) It seems like "how to install that voip program" is your REAL question but that can't proceed without knowing what it is...
Hi, it's Linphone Desktop Version - https://www.linphone.org/technical-corner/linphone/downloads
If you can afford to use an older (still stable) version, there's one in the Trisquel repositories: http://packages.trisquel.info/belenos/linphone.
Thank you. Found, installed.
Linphone 3.6.1 on Trisquel 7.
Linphone Account Assistant.
username, password and domain name filled in, no proxy.
->
The Apply button is still greyed out.
So I can't set it up.
Checked configuration, passed authentication, set up succeeded :-)
This is a tad irrelevant now but the reason flatpak couldn't be installed is because in that PPA it's not available for Ubuntu trusty (upon which Trisquel 7 is based)
Its too bad this isn't a Snap either as Ubuntu 14.04/Trisquel 7 supports it via snapd.
