I installed mobian-installer-pinephone-phosh-alpha3.img and then followed the steps on the mobian wiki.
qt / qml interface
sudo apt install flatpak flatpak-builder
flatpak install org.kde.Platform//5.15
flatpak install org.kde.Sdk//5.15
flatpak install org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.golang//20.08
flatpak install org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.node12//20.08
flatpak install io.qt.qtwebengine.BaseApp//5.15
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nanu-c...xolotl.yml
sudo flatpak-builder --install build org.nanuc.Axolotl.yml
Everything seemed to work properly.
However, when I tap the Axolotl icon, nothing happens. I just get the background screen.
Trying to run the cache clearing script
rm ~/.cache/QtProject/QtQmlViewer/qmlcache/* && rm -r ~/.local/share/textsecure.nanuc && rm -r ~/.config/textsecure.nanuc
I get the message that so such directory exists at home/mobian/.cache/QtProject/QtQmlViewer/qmlcache
I'm sure there's something obvious I'm missing.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
I had the same issue, there is an issue open on Axolotl Github that I think is related (see. https://github.com/nanu-c/axolotl/issues/289) regarding flatpak file paths. I found a quick fix by making my own desktop icon as shown below. Axolot sometime fails to start the first time but otherwise has been working fairly well for me.
sudo nano /usr/share/applications/axolotl.desktop
