This issue seems to happen for any file I open of any type, like Bash/shell, markdown, COBOL. I'm not sure if it's just that they aren't compiled for the ARM64 Flatpak release, or if they aren't included in the Flatpak release at all. These binaries would need to be compiled and shipped with the Flatpak runtime for it to work on all platforms. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Kate (Flatpak version) 2. Open a shell script, markdown, or other file 3. Check the "Output" console OBSERVED RESULT "Output" console flashes and says: ``` [19:53:43  LSP Client Warning] Failed to find server binary: marksman Please check your PATH for the binary ``` EXPECTED RESULT LSP Client server binaries should be bundled with the Flatpak. If not possible, perhaps disable the LSP Client feature entirely for the Flatpak release. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS - Kate 25.08.2 (official Flatpak release from Flathub) - GNOME 48 (Wayland) - Fedora Workstation 42
You have to install the lsp server yourself. We won't package them with Kate. Perhaps we should tone down the warning to a debug or info. It is annoying, I agree. Very very bad UX
Okay reading the report again, the panel doesn't popup anymore (that was fixed long ago), its only flashing which is intentional. > perhaps disable the LSP Client feature No. But you can disable it for yourself if you like.
