jamovi impossible to run on chromebook
Posted: Thu Apr 23, 2020 5:56 am
Hello!
Is it correct that jamovi doesn't run on the Chrome OS of a Chromebook right now?
My only option left seems to be to go into developer mode to install Ubuntu, but I am not willing to do that because of all implications.
Could you please give me a status update on when this can be resolved?
I'm completely new to this subject, so I just try to explain in detail what I did.
First: Setting up linux and flatpak on chromebook:
I was following here:
https://flatpak.org/setup/Chrome%20OS/
Enabling linux support and
using the commands:
sudo apt install flatpak
flatpak --user remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
Second: Install jamovi
https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.jamovi.jamovi
I think I used a different command here:
sudo flatpak install flathub org.jamovi.jamovi
Third: run?
flatpak run org.jamovi.jamovi
gives the error:
error: app/org.jamovi.jamovi/x86_64/master not installed
sudo flatpak run org.jamovi.jamovi
gives the error:
[5:0422/181404.544555:FATAL:atom_main_delegate.cc(210)] Running as root without --no-sandbox is not supported. See https://crbug.com/638180.
/app/bin/jamovi: line 14: 5 Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped) /app/bin/zypak-wrapper /app/bin/electron "$@"
sudo flatpak run org.jamovi.jamovi --no-sandbox
gives no protocol specified
Also the app does not show up yet.
ls returns nothing, maybe because the installment in the Linux VM didnt create visible directories?
ls - a gives
. .. .bash_history .bash_logout .bashrc .cache .config .gnupg .local .profile .Xauthority
Any advice really appreciated!
UPDATE:
I noticed that when clicking here:
https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.jamovi.jamovi
on install
the file org.jamovi.jamovi.flatpakrev is downloaded
I copied the file into the . cache folder of my linux files using chromes files viewer (enabling hidden files)
Then I went to the same directory in the LINUX shell.
There I entered sudo flatpak install org.jamovi.jamovi.flatpakref
Files installed, and the app appears.
However when executing I get a popup:
Unfortunately, the jamovi server could not be started, and jamovi must close.
PLease report your experiences to the jamovi team.
I am not sure if this is the known very rare problem or a result of my experimental approach here.
Thanks for any help!
