Filebot Won't Work - Salix Linux
Posted: 17 Jan 2026, 14:38
Salix Linux is based on Slackware.
Can't get Filebot to work correctly in Salix Linux. Not even the Flatpak. Snap isn't available to me as Salix/Slackware doesn't use systemd. The Slackpkg doesn't work correctly.
Filebot loads, but as soon as I try to select a file I get a spinning logo and Filebot locks up totally. The only recourse is to kill it. I've tried from the command line and I'm informed some fx file is missing. I suspected this may be a Java issue, so I loaded up every Java jdk file I could find in the repos but no effect whatsoever.
If I can't sort this out then I'll have to move on to another distribution.
I must be confused as I thought flatpaks were universal and worked on any Linux distribution. I've also reported my issue to Flathub/Flatpak whatever they call themselves.
I'm stuck.
