XNretro not working?

Jack_Socha · March 27, 2019, 1:13am

I’ve got XNview and XNsketch running,but XNretro will not run. I tried restarting and re-installing on my Acer Cloudbook. All other programs work. Any ideas?

Have you built the flatpak yourself from https://github.com/scx/com.xnview.XnRetro as it’s not in the flathub repository at this time?

Already’re available in APP Center (Flathub)

Open the application called ‘Terminal’
In this application run the command:

flatpak update --appstream && flatpak update -y
flatpak install --reinstall flathub com.xnview.XnConvert -y
flatpak install --reinstall flathub com.xnview.XnRetro -y
flatpak install --reinstall flathub com.xnview.XnSketch -y
flatpak install --reinstall flathub com.xnview.XnViewMP -y
flatpak run com.xnview.XnConvert
flatpak run com.xnview.XnRetro
flatpak run com.xnview.XnSketch
flatpak run com.xnview.XnViewMP

Exactly what symptom do you see? You click the icon, and nothing happens?

Try running:

flatpak run com.xnview.XnRetro

in a terminal window, and see if there is any interesting output.

I DL’d it from the App Center.

Same problem here. It seems, that there’s some problem with the package from flathub as the dependency

org.freedesktop.Platform/i386/18.08

does not get installed. After manually installing it with

flatpak install -y flathub org.freedesktop.Platform/i386/18.08

XnRetro works as expected. I opened a upstream case for this behavior: https://github.com/flathub/com.xnview.XnRetro/issues/2
