Context: Fedora/Bazzite/Kinoite/universal-blue/KDE/Flatpacks
When using KDE applications (like Okular or Gwenview) installed as Flatpaks in Fedora KDE Bazzite or other containerized Linux distributions, they may fail to open remote files (like those on Samba shares) when launched from Dolphin File Explorer.
Example error from Okular:
Could not open smb://... Reason: Unable to create KIO worker. Unknown protocol 'smb'.
Flatpak allows users to manually configure filesystem paths that will get passed into the Flatpak application sandbox via flatpak override. This feature can also pass in a unix socket, which works to pass in a dynamically started p11-kit-server socket from the host to access PKCS#11 devices. This will let you access web sites requiring smart card certificate authentication from a web browser installed via Flatpak.
The instructions were tested on a Lenovo X1 Carbon 5th Gen (X1C5) on Arch Linux but should be applicable to other Lenovo models and Linux distributions.
BACKUP YOUR DATA! I created a bootable Ubuntu Image like this:
$ sudo sh -c 'curl --location --silent --fail "http://releases.ubuntu.com/18.04/ubuntu-18.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso" | pv > /dev/<your-usb-drive>'
# note that pv is only there to show progress, it is perfectly fine to redirect curl to the usb drive directly.then I booted from this drive by pressing F12 on reboot and dumped my NVMe disk to an external hard drive like this:
| #!/bin/bash | |
| # pdfScale.sh | |
| # | |
| # Scale PDF to specified percentage of original size. | |
| # Ref: http://ma.juii.net/blog/scale-page-content-of-pdf-files. | |
| echo "This script doesn't handle files with spaces in them." | |
| SCALE=0.95 # scaling factor (0.95 = 95%, e.g.) |
