Godot Version

v4.3stable.flathub [77dcf97d8]

Question

Hi, I use a chromebook and it has a Debian based linux system. I managed to install Godot 4 through flathub and it worked. I created a project and everything worked. But today I wanted to start a 2D project so I opened Godot, I clicked on Create but then I could not choose the folder I wanted to place the game in. So I just let it stay on the path it already had. And clicked Create & Edit. It opened a window and It stayed white, and after a few minutes it crashed. I read somewhere it could be something with flatpak not having permission to my folders so i followed what they said and went to the terminal and entered flatpak update. This is what I got:
kaspiankronberg@penguin:~$ flatpak update
Looking for updates…

If anyone would be willing to help, I would be grateful.

Are you on ChromeOS or did you flash Debian as the main operating system? If ChromeOS then you may be dealing with two layers of sandboxing, from ChromeOS’s linux container and flatpak’s container. May be better to download godot from the website, as a direct executable

You may need to sudo flatpak update if it is a base Debian install.

Thank you. The added sudo flatpak update removed the errors but did not fix the errors in Godot. I think I will just intstall a stable version instead. But I don’t understand wich file I should download or which commands I shuld type in to the terminal. Do you have a link to a site where I can download a stable version for debian. And also wich of all the downloads Ishould choose?

If you are on ChromeOS then I highly doubt you want to install Debian, it will replace the entire operating system, you will need to backup your files, and with how locked-down most chromebooks are, you may have to disassemble the device. It’s a daunting task I would only recommend to long standing linux users and hardware enthusiasts. I don’t believe you are in that camp, but a Debian installer image can be downloaded from debian.org there is a big “download” button, from there you will flash the installer image onto a thumb drive.

You can download a directly executable Godot from godotengine.org. You may have to place this in a linux directory or use the command line to download it with

# assuming ChromeOS has wget and/or unzip
wget https://github.com/godotengine/godot/releases/download/4.3-stable/Godot_v4.3-stable_linux.x86_64.zip

unzip Godot_v4.3-stable_linux.x86_64.zip
