VLC does not find libvlc

[probonopd]

Why is that?

My strategy right now to verify this method of doing things is to find as many broken apps as possible, and to analyze why they are broken. I think that this way we can learn best what works and what doesn't work.

In my test libvlc is only loaded if VLC run's without root access, we need pass impression on chroot that "user" is unprivileged since any sandbox affects the access time. but i have no idea how to do this

Is good, my approach is failing, i focused on apps that i know that will works

Why do we run pkg2appdir as root? Is it necessary?
We could just run the mount/unmount/... operations as root, and everything else as a normal user.
Especially the test run of the application should not be run as root. This way, the test run resembles more closely what goes on when the user runs the application.

What do you think?

The problem is with chroot, it still needs to be run as root

[probonopd]

The application inside the chroot should be run as normal user though

Lines 100 to 107 in dd315b4

	for lib in ${libexecs[@]}; do

	APID=$!
	sleep 2
	kill $APID

	sudo chroot --userspec=1000:1000 ${mount_point} ${command} &

Not quite working yet, do you know why?

This n't found gedit, may be an error with flathub install?

Maybe
