Describe the Bug
I've been trying to run the Sunshine flatpak on Fedora atomic desktops running Wayland, however, I keep seeing this error even after following this guide here https://docs.lizardbyte.dev/projects/sunshine/en/latest/about/setup.html#install
Attention! Sunshine detected these errors during startup. We STRONGLY RECOMMEND fixing them before streaming.
Fatal: You must run [sudo setcap cap_sys_admin+p $(readlink -f $(which sunshine))] for KMS display capture to work! If you installed from AppImage or Flatpak, please refer to the official documentation: https://docs.lizardbyte.dev/projects/sunshine/en/latest/about/setup.html#install
Fatal: Unable to find display or encoder during startup.
Fatal: Please check that a display is connected and powered on.
I've also searched and read through other issues (e.g. https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/issues/2840), however, nothing has worked for me.
The flatpak works on X11, but not on Wayland.
I've tried the latest release as well as the pre-releases with no luck.
Expected Behavior
Sunshine flatpak should run on Wayland

First I run setcap (got this from https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/issues/2840), followed by flatpak run
sudo setcap cap_sys_admin+p $(readlink -f $(find /var/lib/flatpak/app -name sunshine | grep /bin/sunshine))
flatpak run dev.lizardbyte.app.Sunshine
I have no idea if that command works. I expect it doesn't due to the sandboxing of flatpak.
This is the command in our docs for the pre-release.
sudo -i PULSE_SERVER=unix:$(pactl info | awk '/Server String/{print$3}') \
flatpak run dev.lizardbyte.app.Sunshine
https://docs.lizardbyte.dev/projects/sunshine/en/master/about/setup.html#install
Yeah I tried that too. Sunshine doesn't start
$ sudo -i PULSE_SERVER=unix:$(pactl info | awk '/Server String/{print$3}') \
flatpak run dev.lizardbyte.app.Sunshine
bwrap: Can't find source path /run/user/1000/pulse/native: Permission denied

I've tried giving additional permissions to Sunshine flatpak via Flatseal, tried a reboot as well. No luck
No worries, thank you for helping!
For the bwrap issue, I came across this https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/discussions/569#discussioncomment-8654055, but it didn't help sadly
$ cp /usr/bin/bwrap /home/<user>/writable/dir/
$ sudo -i PULSE_SERVER=unix:$(pactl info | awk '/Server String/{print$3}') FLATPAK_BWRAP=/home/<user>/writable/dir/bwrap flatpak run dev.lizardbyte.app.Sunshine
bwrap: Can't find source path /run/user/1000/pulse/native: Permission denied
It's this combination of Flatpak + Wayland + Atomic desktop which is proving to be a challenge. Switching to X11 or a non-atomic desktop works.
Are there any reports of the above combination working for anyone?
Atomic desktop
Honestly, I've never heard of it.
It's basically an operating system with much of the root filesystem locked down as read-only
Are there any reports of the above combination working for anyone?
You forgot to grant bwrap setuid
chmod u+s /home/<user>/writable/dir/bwrap
There is also a custom variant of bwrap in COPR but I haven't tried it yet.
It has instructions for rpm-ostree based distros.
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/34n0s/bubblewrap-suid/
I've inadvertently mirrored this issue here - https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/issues/3181
I do not know how to consolidate.
If you have an intel iGPU, use it instead to nip this issue.
It is making the AMD encoder unusable - I would rather haul my gaming pc around with me than put up with this incredibly blurry result.
I'm working on adding an automated copr build here: https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/pull/3239
If there's any fedora/copr experts here, I could use some assistance with a few things.
I wouldn't suggest using flatpak on an atomic os, as you can't run the additional install steps. Instead you should use the RPMs.
For the RPMs:
The atomic desktop issue was fixed by https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/pull/3050
Also...
LizardByte now has copr repos you can use to install Sunshine. Currently fedora 39-41 and rawhide are supported for aarch64 and x86_64. All builds also have cuda support (v12.6.2).
https://docs.lizardbyte.dev/projects/sunshine/en/master/md_docs_2getting__started.html#fedora
Note: stable will be empty until the next stable release.
Anyway, closing this as I don't believe there is anything we can do to make flatpak work on atomic desktops.
Think I have the same issue.
This flatpak used to work great last year on Fedora Silverblue 39 (aka Fedora Atomic Workstation, rpm-ostree based) for Steam etc and without needing any extra rpmfusion RPMs.
Now it no longer works on Fedora Silverblue 40:
sudo -i PULSE_SERVER=unix:/run/user/$(id -u)/pulse/native flatpak run dev.lizardbyte.app.Sunshine
bwrap: Can't find source path /run/user/1000/pulse/native: Permission denied
When I leave out PULSE_SERVER, it starts OK and has no sound, but also the video feed on the client shows as a black screen. This might be related to new Wayland screen sharing features and permissions, so there looks to be 2 separate issues with video and sound.
@jwmullally if you're using the beta, the video issue is probably from https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/issues/3268
After hours trying to make it work I see now it won't run on bluefin (from fedora silverblue 40). The flatpak's flathub page should have a disclaimer.
I don't know what bluefin is, but we have a copr repo (in beta) for fedora 39-42. https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/lizardbyte
We already have disclaimers in the docs that you should use the package for your distro if available. But if you want a more clear disclaimer, the flathub package will be synced with our repo on the next stable release. So any updates here will update there: https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/tree/master/packaging/linux/flatpak
PRs are welcome to help improve.

I saw disclaimer to avoid flatpak if possible, but In immutable distros such as bluefin and bazzite the way to install any application is through flatpak or distrobox/toolbox (or adding layers which is bad practice).
Thanks for the infos.
I am currently having the same issue in Kubuntu 24.10, sunshine version v2024.1108.41533 setcat command doesn't seem to be working properly. I've tried
sudo setcap cap_sys_admin+p /home/
/.local/share/flatpak/app/dev.lizardbyte.app.Sunshine/x86_64/master/35bbf3aa84d38c6ff8634d929278777a20e422719dbc3e34f532738b79937e41/files/bin/sunshine-v2024.1108.41533
from
find ~ -name sunshine
Even though I check the result like this
❯ sudo getcap /home/<my-user>/.local/share/flatpak/app/dev.lizardbyte.app.Sunshine/x86_64/master/35bbf3aa84d38c6ff8634d929278777a20e422719dbc3e34f532738b79937e41/files/bin/sunshine-v2024.1108.41533

When flatpak installed at user level, at system paths change but same result
This issue also applies to Bazzite. It too is an Atomic Fedora setup, using the Steam OS tooling to give x86 users a SteamDeck like experience on handhelds and PCs.

On bazzite you can run: ujust setup-sunshine
It install a working version of sunshine.

Just a heads up that sunshine has been broken on the ujust Bazzite installer for ~6 months, hence why people have been trying to look for alternative install methods
This issue seems to be with btrfs when used on Fedora.
https://gitlab.com/btrfs-assistant/btrfs-assistant/-/issues/105
While it is not a direct answer to flatpak version of sunshine's issue. I was running the following command to setup sunshine on bluefin:
$ sudo dnf copr enable lizardbyte/beta
$ sudo rpm-ostree install Sunshine
After a reboot(tweaking ostree requires rebooting), I can simply run sunshine in a terminal to start sunshine and everything just works.
The only quirk is that I'm running on latest bluefin with Fedora Silverblue 42, I couldn't locate Sunshine package with lizardbyte/stable(maybe stable channel is missing binary package for Fedora 42)? But when I switch to beta channel everything just works.

It's due to the timing of the releases. We haven't created a stable release since we added support for F42

Yeah that makes sense, thanks for confirming.
