Appcenter closing on it's own

[Turkioo04]

I've downloaded the latest version of Elementary OS v6.1 & installed it in an old laptop that used to have win 7 (Acer - Aspire TimelineX). The OS works fine but to some issues:
1- AppCenter: every time i open the app it opens and start showing the app store then suddenly stops working and closes in it's own in mere seconds!
2- Any other app i have same issue but to some few.
3- Any app i download via CLI works fine.
So how i can fix this issue? Thanks in advance

Possibly related to this bug: https://github.com/elementary/appcenter/issues/1656? I have occasionally seen AppCenter close unexpectedly but not all the time. Are resources on your machine limited (e.g. memory or swap space?). You could try running appcenter under gdb to get a backtrace of the crash and compare the trace shown in issue #1656.

Hi Jeremypw,
For the resources nope i am not using much (just VS code & chrome [two tabs]), & as i mentioned my laptop is an old one which i change the harddesk to SSD & it has 12GB RAM.

I did the following: apt show Appcenter (version)

Then i run it under gdb & got the following:

And when i run it under gdb the app opens and then freezes short after:

So any idea how to fix this issue?
Thanks in advance

Looks like a flatpak related issue. Are you running on Ubuntu rather than elementary? In that case you may not have the necessary flatpak infrastructure installed (Ubuntu used snap). You could try installing flatpak and setting up remote for flathub and the elementary repo (sudo flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists https://flatpak.elementary.io/repo.flatpakrepo)
