***
Opening a 7zip file in flatpak'd Ark throws a "No suitable plugin found. Ark does not see to support this file type" error.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use a file manager to open a 7z file with Ark.


OBSERVED RESULT
Ark displays a "No suitable plugin found. Ark does not see to support this file type" error and fails to open the archive.

EXPECTED RESULT
The archive opens.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 39 Kinoite
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It's the Flatpak version
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0
Qt Version: 6.6.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
7zip files don't even show up in the open file dialog.

Comment 1 Alastor Tenebris 2024-03-24 18:57:11 UTC

So the 7z plugin in settings is grayed out, with the tooltip saying "The plugin cannot be used because one or more required executables are missing. Check your installation."

Looking in the bin directory of the installation, 7z isn't there. p7zip is in the flatpak manifest though.

The build log for p7zip has these lines:
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/usr/local’: Read-only file system
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/usr/local’: Read-only file system
- installing /usr/local/bin/7z
cp: cannot create regular file '/usr/local/lib/p7zip/7z': No such file or directory
chmod: cannot access '/usr/local/lib/p7zip/7z': No such file or directory
strip: '/usr/local/lib/p7zip/7z': No such file
./install.sh: line 12: /usr/local/bin/7z: No such file or directory
./install.sh: line 13: /usr/local/bin/7z: No such file or directory
chmod: cannot access '/usr/local/bin/7z': No such file or directory

So I think it's trying to install in /usr/local rather than /usr

Can't reproduce, but it suspiciously seems like you attempted to use it during a period of temporary breakage: https://github.com/flathub/org.kde.ark/pull/82

Please retry, theoretically it should work already.
