Flatpak apps take a long time to start

[krathalan]

System

• xuname: Void 4.19.37_1 x86_64 GenuineIntel uptodate rFF
• package: flatpak-1.2.4_2

Expected behavior

Applications installed via flatpak should start just as quickly as applications installed via xbps.

Actual behavior

Applications installed via flatpak take a long time to start, but once they're open they are responsive. Opening a flatpak from the command line (e.g. flatpak run org.gnome.eog) produces a long stall, then an output of:

"F: Can't find a11y bus: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.TimedOut: Failed to activate service 'org.a11y.Bus': timed out (service_start_timeout=120000ms)

(eog:2): dbind-WARNING **: 20:23:57.015: AT-SPI: Error retrieving accessibility bus address: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown"

Then the app starts. The "long stall" time before opening takes approximately 30 seconds.

The only other instance of this issue I could find was a comment on reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/voidlinux/comments/anxi8a/void_is_now_listed_on_the_flatpaks_setup_page/efxntqh/

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Install flatpak with sudo xbps-install -S flatpak as per documentation.
2. Install any app, e.g. flatpak install -y flathub org.gnome.eog
3. Attempt to start it

Is dbus running?

Interestingly I reinstalled Void today (many times) so I could have my drive be encrypted. I no longer have this issue. dbus is running.
