[Bug]: Electron flatpaks crash when starting up after recent updates #6465
Description
Checklist
- I agree to follow the Code of Conduct that this project adheres to.
- I have searched the issue tracker for a bug that matches the one I want to file, without success.
- If this is an issue with a particular app, I have tried filing it in the appropriate issue tracker for the app (e.g. under https://github.com/flathub/) and determined that it is an issue with Flatpak itself.
- This issue is not a report of a security vulnerability (see here if you need to report a security issue).
Flatpak version
Flatpak 1.16.1
What Linux distribution are you using?
Linux Mint
Linux distribution version
Linux Mint Zara 22.2, Kernel 6.8.0-90-generic
What architecture are you using?
x86_64
How to reproduce
- Receive updates for packages: flatpak, gir1.2flatpak-1.0, libflatpak0, and bubblewrap, and then update them.
- Start up an electron-based app like Bitwarden or Freetube.
- Wait for it to load.
- Crashes before you can do anything.
Expected Behavior
Lets me use the app uninterrupted.
Actual Behavior
Crashes right after start up.
Additional Information
It's only electron based flatpaks that have this issue. My other flatpaks are running fine and I've temporarily switched to system packages (or in the case of Bitwarden, a browser extension) for my electron-based apps.
I've tried uninstalling (with flatpak uninstall [package-name] --delete-data]) and then reinstalling them. It didn't work.
I've also tried to turning on and off certain permissions (GPU acceleration, DBus permissions, different levels of file access, etc) in Flatseal, but it doesn't seem to work. Others I asked suspected it might be a driver issue, but acknowledged it was possible it might be related to the update. So I apologize if it is a driver issue. But I'd still like help to fix it if you can either way.
Here's some errors when I try to run the flatpaks in the terminal:
Freetube:
flatpak run io.freetubeapp.FreeTube

electron apps keep seeming to crash
i tried looking online and it seems to be a problem with the xapp-gtk3 module that i'm having trouble fixing
i tried these commands and here are the error messages i got:
Vesktop:

To use Wayland instead, remove the --socket=x11 permission
