Randomly, my Flatpak apps will not open. If I restart my computer multiple times, after an arbitrary number of restarts, Flatpaks will open again.
I’m newer to Fedora / Linux desktop so I’m not really sure where to start diagnosing this issue.
I’m using Fedora 40 KDE.
When I try to launch the Flatpak app, it shows up in the task bar and the icon shows jumping next to the cursor, and then both disappear and the app never actually opens. If I go to system monitor, it shows running as an application but using almost no resources.
I have tried:
Completely uninstalling and reinstalling Flatpak.
Running sudo flatpak repair
Uninstalling and reinstalling specific applications
Installing a completely new flatpak app not previously installed
I was able to kill it using the system monitor to send a kill signal.
Here is the output when trying to run the app:
REDACTED@fedora:~$ flatpak ps
REDACTED@fedora:~$ flatpak run -vv io.github.shiftey.Desktop

So I noticed it hung up at keybase. I uninstalled keybase and it seems to be launching flatpaks now. I guess I need to look into something else for file sync.
