I am trying to use Mudita Center on my Desktop PC, Arch Linux
The AppImage open
I am prompt to allow US use (or something like that)
I am told to restart computer etc
Even if restarting the PC, relaunching the Mudicenter App, it still can’t access the Phone

Hi @yoda2025
Since I’m not familiar with Linux, I’m going to ask our team to help with this. I will return with more help when they respond.
@yoda2025 I don’t work for Mudita, but I do have Mudita Center running just fine on Debian 13. You have to make the App Image exectuable. In my file manager, it’s a right click to bring up the context menu → Properties. Under the Permissions tab, “Allow executing file as program.”
Otherwise, in your terminal, you can cd the directory or include the directory with the file name and use the following command:
chmod +x Mudita-Center.AppImage
Hope that helps!

On Debian, user need to be member of the “dialout” group.
sudo adduser ploum dialout (where ploum is your user id)
I don’t know about Arch but there’s probably a similar group that handles some USB permissions

lol. I’m not the one asking; I said I had no issue running it on Debian. On the other had, I don’t remember changing any user groups.

Works fine on arch for me. Seems to lose it’s permissions somehow sometimes, but works when clicking try again and having the phone connected with the screen unlocked.

I’ve been chasing this issue down as well on Nobara. I’m not being able to give access to usb for some reason, it asks for my password to give permission and then nothing happens once entered. I got the mudita center running before on a Fedora build, so i know its possible, but theres a step we both seem to be missing. I can install apks with ads commands in konsole as a work around for now, but i’ll report back if i figure out the usb permissions issue.

Exactly @ehaines99 same thing
Mudita Center open, I am asked for a password and the phone is not detected
What is sad is with another Arch distro, I was able to make it work by applying some AI (Grok) suggestion of " rules / UDEV or something like that" I tweaked for Mudita Center to recognize the USB device…
If I lsusb, my OS see the KOMPAKT… But the Mudita Center, nope

Wow didnt know there was a linux version. I just installed it successfully on cachyos (arch linux)
Download the appimage which it places in downloads then open terminal and run the following:
cd /home/YOUR-USER-HERE/Downloads
chmod +x Mudita-Center.AppImage
./Mudita-Center.AppImage
That last command should run the app and it should prompt a window, press integrate and it should be added to your apps list. It didnt detect my mudita at first but after clicking retry it finally did.

Thank you! The command you posted helped the issue! I forgot that was what I had to do before to make it work!
-I went to the location of the appimage in dolphin file browser (/downloads in my case)
-Right clicked an empty spot/area in the folder and selected “Open Terminal Here”
-Run the chmod line from Jordan:
chmod +x Mudita-Center.appimage
-profit
