[flatpak] First Download stuck at 0 Percent

[theatischbein]

I'm trying to run the torbrowser-launcher via flatpak and can't get the first download to work. The following error is printed:

$~ flatpak run --share=network com.github.micahflee.torbrowser-launcher

The download is stuck at 0 percent, even if I wait for longer times.

Expected behavior: Starting download or timeout and / or error message

My system:

I am currently experiencing the same problem.

Here is the output of flatpak run org.torproject.torbrowser-launcher

It hangs from here at 0% until it is force-closed.

UPDATE: I found a workaround for my issue here: #715 (comment)

In summary, the issue is in ./torbrowser-launcher/torbrowser-launcher/common.py in the source code. The arch variable being used to generate the download link is not being set correctly by the if statement on line 97.

To fix this, change line 102 from:
tarball_filename = "tor-browser-" + arch + "-" + tbb_version + ".tar.xz"

to this:
tarball_filename = "tor-browser-" + "linux-x86_64" + "-" + tbb_version + ".tar.xz"

Once common.py has been fixed AND you are back in the main repo directory, run ./build_deb.sh followed by sudo dpkg -i deb_dist/torbrowser-launcher_0.3.7-1_all.deb.

(I'm new to submitting these, so any feedback is appreciated. Sorry for necro-ing a bit here.)
