I’m not sure if this was a software update or not but suddenly some apps I used to use on a regular basis don’t launch. when I try running them via the terminal, it shows an error message regarding D-Bus, but I clearly can see the D-Bus file installed correctly on my system. also, I did not change or uninstalled anything lately.
I’m not quite sure what I’m doing but I tried force-enabling everything with D-Bus on Flatseal for one of the apps that won’t launch, and the error in terminal has changed:

this is from the second photo (second attempt after I enabled D-BUS):

yotamguttman@yotis-pc ~ [SIGILL]>
edit:
I published this as an issue on Anytype a couple days ago and so far the only respond I received is from someone who fed the terminal content into chatgpt trying to solve the problem… the proposed solutions didn’t help. so I didn’t get the impression that know what causes it.
This message is normal for Electron Flatpak apps. Electron is trying to access something on the system bus but is blocked by the sandbox. This doesn’t break anything important, AFAIK.
This appears to be the issue. Searching that turns up a lot of references to nvidia. If you’re using the nvidia driver, try flatpak update.
I update flatpak every day (via the software manager). didn’t seem to solve the problem.
yotamguttman@yotis-pc ~> flatpak update
Looking for updates…
Info: runtime org.gnome.FontManager.Locale branch stable is end-of-life, with reason:
Application no longer supported due to changing Flathub policies.
Info: applications using this extension:
org.gnome.FontManager
Info: app org.gnome.FontManager branch stable is end-of-life, with reason:
Application no longer supported due to changing Flathub policies.
Nothing to do.
if the D-Bus is blocked by the sandbox, why did me enabling the D-Bus session an system in flatseal solve the problem?
First check your kernel version using uname -a. Current version is 6.13.5-200.fc41.x86_64, which was a quick fix for a major issue in a previous version of the 6.13 series with flatpaks, and all containerized applications. So I advise checking your kernel version to rule this out as a possibility of your current issue.
seems to be identical to the version you have mentioned. Linux yotis-pc 6.13.5-200.fc41.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Feb 27 15:07:31 UTC 2025 x86_64 GNU/Linux
what are the consequence of this?
I mentioned in my post that while I couldn’t say for sure, this issue seems to have appeared after the latest software update.
so what do you suggest?
any idea what causes the issue? it used to work just fine, up until recently, and I never enabled it any D-Bus access manually before.
