FlatPak FreeCAD 1.0 Error Loading (MXLinux)

Posted: Tue Apr 29, 2025 7:15 pm
by Seagasm
Good morning, I have been using FreeCAD 1.0 AppImage and would prefer an installed program basically because when an update is available, I will be notified and the updated files will be installed. I downloaded FreeCAD 1.0 from the Flatpak installer but the program fails to start. I tried to start the FreeCAD 1.0 installation from the terminal and I get the following error:-

$ /usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=FreeCAD --file-forwarding org.freecad.FreeCAD - --single-instance @@ %F @@
F: Can't get document portal mount path

Since it starts normally on my computer, we'll need more information about yours to troubleshoot.
Please run Quick System Info from the menu and post the results here, (as per the Forum rules).

Because of this bit
During initialization the error "No module named 'PySide2'" occurred in /home/barry/.var/app/org.freecad.FreeCAD/data/FreeCAD/Mod/Help/./InitGui.py
I suspect the problem has to do with the Appimage and Flatpak using the same location (~/.var/app/org.freecad.FreeCAD/data/FreeCAD) for their config files. You see a new FreeCad Flatpak install doesn't have a Mod folder in that path.
Delete or move the /home/barry/.var/app/org.freecad.FreeCAD/ folder and FreeCad should start up.

"And in other news" - it looks like FreeCAD 1.0 is in Trixie.
