From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How do I install inkstitch extension in inkscape-flatpak? (feddit.de)

I'm running Inkscape as flatpak on Kubuntu 24.04 and I wanted to install.the Ink/Stitch extension, but somehow this doesn't seem to work like it did on the apt/ppa version. I've tried the script install from inkstitch, and I've tried to manually copy the contents of the tar.xz to the extensions subfolder in home/.var/ and restarting inkscape, but no luck so far. I was hoping someone here could give me some helpful tips to try? thanks!

Completely different extension but this one has installation instructions that have different paths for installation depending on if its flatpak

If Inkscape was installed on Linux from Flatpakthe path is more likely ~/.var/app/org.inkscape.Inkscape/config/inkscape/extensions/.

edit - theres an open issue talking about this, too

https://github.com/inkstitch/inkstitch/issues/1712

Maybe these steps could help? https://github.com/inkstitch/inkstitch/issues/1712#issuecomment-1751680252

thanks, I will check this out.

edit: okay that tutorial in the open issue helped a bit. I did already have the inkstitch-3.0.1-linux.sh but entering the flatpak cmd and have the script already copied to the extensions folder worked. Thanks a bunch!
