Is Butler working correctly on Librem 5

I wanted to see if anyone around here is using Butler (https://flathub.org/en/apps/com.cassidyjames.butler) and if it’s working correctly. I could browse demo, after using my HomeAssistant link, it can’t load anymore.

Another question is: where are config files saved, I can try clean run again.

Yes, I tested it today. It seems to work with the following limitations:

  • No hardware acceleration — it lags, similar to the browser and many other apps:

    (com.cassidyjames.butler:2): WARNING **: 23:03:38.588: Disabled hardware acceleration because GTK failed to initialize GL: No EGL configuration available.
    
    
  • Multiple locales/languages: If you have more than one locale/language configured, you might need the following workaround; otherwise, the app won’t start:

    flatpak config --set languages "en;de"
    flatpak update

All Flatpak app configs are stored in ~/.var/app/ by default. They use the reverse domain name notation so it would be in ~/.var/app/com.cassidyjames.butler/config.

If you run this command in a terminal, what do you see in the output: flatpak run com.cassidyjames.butler?
