Almond in my KDE desktop

Support Snap/Flatpak
1

I’ve installed recently Almond from FlatPak but my KDE desktop doesn’t launch It (other programs from FlatPak recently installed It does…).
I’ll apreciate any insight or experience…
Thanks

HI @ivappanther,

is the file set as excuteable? To do so, run:

chmod +x </path/to/file>

In the terminal. Where </path/to/file> is, you guessed it, the path to the file.

Hope this helps!

What is the output of the following command?

flatpak run edu.stanford.Almond

Somebody knows what’s happening with this response to that command ?

I’ve researched something about what’s dbus in Linux like Desktop sistems, perhaps given the nature of Almond as virtual assistant it’s a problem related to KDE…
Any insight ?

Thanks …

The last update was from August 2021 and their GitHub issues are mentioning outdated dependencies. There is not much you can do on your side.
