[QGIS-Developer] Permission Issues during Flatpak Install on NIS clients

[Coles, Quentin (GSFC-423.0)[RAYTHEON COMPANY]]

Hello All,


Has anyone had an issue installing Flatpak QGIS on Rhel 8 where the permissions on many directories show up with question marks in the permissions like the following:

# cd /view/NightlyBuild_linux/var/lib/flatpak/runtime/org.kde.Sdk/x86_64/5.15-21.08/61a7c1ac873ecbfbdae4442a28da9d1356d105c2d6f8c9c9a719012cab99fe32/files/lib

[root at i8oml01v lib]# ls -al

ls: cannot access 'os-release': Permission denied

These type files are littered throughout the directory structure above. I think the issue is because of the NIS system where those users don’t exist locally on the server. Does anyone know what the username should be or any other workaround for this type of problem?

Thanks in advance
