I am trying to make a Linux app with flutter, but it doesn't seem to be working.

This is the error that comes up when I run flutter run -d linux or flutter build linux:

I tried making a fresh new project with flutter create projectName but the same problem was still there.

I tried updating flutter with flutter channel master and then flutter upgrade but that didn't help either.

I am pretty new to flutter and don't really know much.

Any help would be appreciated!

  • Can you run "flutter doctor -v" and tell us the outcome? Commented Nov 12, 2022 at 11:11
  • Also - Do you use any other packages in your flutter app right now? They might not support Linux Commented Nov 12, 2022 at 11:13
  • I updated the question with the flutter doctor. Commented Nov 12, 2022 at 11:31
  • I'd recommend you use fvm to install Flutter or maybe use the CDN zip directly or just simple Git Clone. snap isn't that great with the host system and for a development enviornment it can be pain from time to time. Commented Jun 4, 2024 at 16:17

There are two things you could try:

  • Investigate if you are using any plugins/packages that are not compatible with Linux.
  • As a follow up: Try to create a new flutter app form scratch and see if the error occurs even without any changes.
  • Upgrade your flutter version via flutter upgrade and remove all build caches via rm -r build.

A related issue on Github also suggests to switch to the edge channel instead of the master channel:

  • snap refresh flutter --edge
  • flutter upgrade
  • rm -r build

No, sadly that didn't work either.
