has anyone run bluebubbles on the librem 5

Hardware Librem 5

So I have used bluebubbles on my grapheneos android, and other linux hosts (sometimes) to send / receive imessages (technically it uses my old mac mini to do it) you can get the flatpak here

and currently when I use the flatpak from the cli the gui will pop up for a moment, and on the cli it gets as far as..

Registering BaseLogger…

(bluebubbles:2): libayatana-appindicator-WARNING **: 07:01:09.899: libayatana-appindicator is deprecated. Please use libayatana-appindicator-glib in newly written code.
No provider of glBlitFramebuffer found. Requires one of:
Desktop OpenGL 3.0
GL_ARB_framebuffer_object
OpenGL ES 3.0
GL_EXT_framebuffer_blit
GL_NV_framebuffer_blit

although I feel like it went further in recent past (can’t quite recall for certain)

I also tried some aarch64 .tar.gz files from GitHub - BlueBubblesApp/bluebubbles-app: A cross-platform app ecosystem, bringing iMessage to Android, PC (Windows, Linux, & even macOS), and Web! · GitHub but I have not made that work either

Turn off GPU acceleration from a Flatpak permissions manager like Flatseal.

looks like tthat did it, and I had no idea you could toggle with that.. THanks so much

Now that the flatpak runs … google auth gets stuck forever in the flatpak.. I got around that on other hosts by using a package and not the flatpak, but I have no clue how this tar file is supposed to work in this particular case

FYI that did eventually sign in correctly so bluebubbles is working
