Sparrow wallet flatpak manifest
Raw
com.sparrowwallet.Sparrow.md

Installation for End User

  1. Install flatpak builder
flatpak install --user org.flatpak.Builder
  1. Build and install the Sparrow manifest
flatpak run org.flatpak.Builder --user --install builddir com.sparrowwallet.Sparrow.yml

This will create two directories which could be removed later:

  • .flatpak-builder dependency cache
  • builddir the files in flatpak app image

Note:

  • The Sparrow home directory is ~/.var/app/com.sparrowwallet.Sparrow/.sparrow. You might want to copy the existing data file from ~/.sparrow into it (or create a symbolic link).

When I open the desktop file from the launcher nothing happens.

On the terminal I get this error:

❯ flatpak run com.sparrowwallet.Sparrow
No display detected. Use Sparrow Server on a headless (no display) system.

Look like a display server connection issue. Maybe add a --socket=x11 in finish-args?

im already using wayland
but i was able to fix the issue with this:

finish-args:
  - --socket=x11
  - --socket=wayland
  - --share=network
  - --device=dri
  - --env=DISPLAY=:0
  - --persist=.sparrow

it works now, thank you

@DeepDoge Probably javafx doesn't work with wayland? 🤔 I'm using x11 not wayland, so it might fallback to x11 on the host. Do you mind confirming if it works without --socket=wayland and --env=DISPLAY=:0?

It works without socket=wayland and env=DISPLAY=:0.

It requires:

  • socket=x11
  • device=dri

Without device=dri I get this:

❯ flatpak run com.sparrowwallet.Sparrow
MESA: error: Failed to query drm device.
glx: failed to create dri3 screen
failed to load driver: iris

So this works:

finish-args:
  - --socket=x11
  - --share=network
  - --device=dri
  - --persist=.sparrow

Also I had an issue with Scan for Connected Devices, which I fixed it by:

  • Adding libusb as module.
  • Adding device=all to finish-args.
modules:
  - name: libusb
    buildsystem: autotools
    config-opts:
      - --disable-static
    sources:
      - type: archive

finish-args:
  - --device=all

@DeepDoge Thanks for sharing your details. I also tried a couple of display server combination, it needs either --socket=x11 or --socket=wayland --socket=fallback-x11, so I think JavaFX in the runtime doesn't use wayland anyways. For --device=dri, my guess is JavaFX might use openGL for rendering with some hardware not present on my host.

I'm not a Java expert 😅 but hopefully my updated manifest could work on most environment.
