the Dec. 14th 2024 update of the runtime
org.freedesktop.Platform/x86_64/23.08
on flathub has a massive bug. all my dependent apps show significant errors since the update.
firefox, thunderbird and joplin crash at start and the other one, vivaldi, has severe rendering issues.

i managed to downgrade to the version of Oct. 29th 2024 and all my issues were resolved.

where should i report that bug?

anyone else affected?

edit:

only my desktop pc is affected (radeon r9 380).
on my laptop the update is working (ryzen 6600hs with radeon 660m).

as vivaldi starts but shows severe rendering issues and @coder-channel suggests to disable wayland-access, I suspect the problem being somewhere in the graphics stack…

Currently experiencing the same issue. Almost all of my apps installed through flatpak either display a black screen or crash on startup. Disabling the wayland permission and using X11 instead seems to work as a temporary fix for most apps. Though it doesn’t help with the Prism launcher.

I am experiencing the same on Kinoite. All of a sudden after update:

  • Logseq shows black square only
  • Thunderbird fails to launch, in safe mode it starts (and logs cannot connect to wayland)
  • Flatseal ends up wit SIGSEGV in gsj
  • Firefox (from Fedora, not a Flatpak) works fine

I am using the atomic flavor of Fedora:

Downgrade of the runtime did not help though.

Still digging…

Ok, I found the bug Liza created - Freedesktop runtime update on Dec 14 causes apps to crash · Issue #5938 · flathub/flathub · GitHub

And in my case I had to downgrade all of the related runtimes:

org.freedesktop.Platform/x86_64/23.08
org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default/x86_64/23.08
org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default/x86_64/23.08-extra
org.freedesktop.Platform.ffmpeg-full/x86_64/23.08

Two runtime updates were released today to fix a crash issue in mesa. Not sure if they’ve been pushed to Flathub yet, but I did get an update today.

If you can’t wait for the update, I fixed it for me by rolling back the updates:

(if you want to get the commit hashes yourself, you can use commands like flatpak remote-info --log flathub org.freedesktop.Platform/x86_64/23.0. I chose the second newest ones)
