Bug ID: 409300
Summary: skrooge flatpak app lacks audio notifications, missing
ogg sounds
Product: Qt/KDE Flatpak Runtime
Version: unspecified
Platform: Flatpak
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: aleix...@kde.org
Reporter: skierp...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When I run the skrooge flatpak, the console shows a warning
##WARNING: Audio notification requested, but sound file from notifyrc file
was not found, aborting audio notification
and there are no sounds.
Searching for "flatpak" and this warning message suggests that the marble and
kdenlive flatpaks also don't play notification sounds, but I haven't reproduced
this problem with them.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. flatpak install org.kde.skrooge
2. flatpak run org.kde.skrooge
3. Click Accounts, create an account (choose any bank icon, enter Account
"test" and Number "1234" and click [+ Add]).
OBSERVED RESULT
The following appears at startup in the terminal:
##WARNING: Audio notification requested, but sound file from notifyrc file
was not found, aborting audio notification
And when you perform operations that normally play a happy sound, there's no
sound.
EXPECTED RESULT
No startup warning, and sounds.
skrooge.notifyrc specifies
Sound=Oxygen-Sys-App-Error.ogg
Sound=Oxygen-Sys-App-Negative.ogg
Sound=Oxygen-Sys-App-Message.ogg
Sound=Oxygen-Sys-App-Positive.ogg
strace shows the flatpak app tries to access these sounds from
$HOME/.var/app/org.kde.skrooge/data/sounds/
/app/share/sounds/
/usr/share/sounds/
/run/host/share/sounds/
and they're not available in any location, hence the warning.
In Fedora, these files are in /usr/share/sounds/ . They are supplied by the
oxygen-sound-theme package, 2 MB of files, so maybe that package should be part
of the KDE runtime the same way /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/ files are
in the KDE runtime.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
flatpak version 1.4.1
Linux/KDE Plasma:
(available in About System)
^ from `flatpak run --command='kdeinit5' org.kde.Platform --version`
KDE Plasma Version: n/a
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.12.4
Qt Version: 5.59.0
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I tried working around the problem by copying the four .ogg files mentioned in
skrooge.notifyrc into
/var/lib/flatpak/runtime/org.freedesktop.Platform/x86_64/18.08/active/files/share/sounds
but they didn't show up in the flatpak; I'm not sure how the "host" directories
are mounted.
I then tried copying the sounds into
$HOME/.var/app/org.kde.skrooge/data/sounds/ , which avoided the WARNING about
sound file not found, but... I didn't hear any sound, even with `flatpak run
--socket=pulseaudio org.kde.skrooge`.
FWIW kdenlive.notifyrc references two of the same sound files, plus a fifth,
Oxygen-Sys-Warning.ogg.
