I'm trying to run Octave 9.1.0 Flatpak on Linux Mint Mate, but I cannot get the gui app to run.

The shortcut that's set up by Mint's software manager executes this command:

/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=/app/bin/octave --file-forwarding org.octave.Octave --gui @@ %f @@

Nothing happens when I click the shortcut. No error message pops up. Nothing.

When I type flatpack run org.octave.Octave on the command line, I get Octave's command prompt shown in the screenshot which appears to work OK. There is a funny error message, however.

When I type flatpack run org.octave.Octave --gui on the command line, I get the following:

Perhaps it's having an issue with Qt or gtk3? I thought flatpaks have everything they need to run a given app correctly?

My system

OS: Linux Mint 21.3 Virginia 64-bit, Kernel Linux 5.15.0-101-generic x86_64, MATE 1.26.0
Octave version: 9.1.0
Installation method: Flatpak through Mint's Software Manager

The network socket error message is normal, ut the xapp-gtk3-module error message I haven't seen before.

I can't debug this right now, but you can use the 8.4 build available here: https://github.com/flathub/org.octave.Octave/pull/338

The **stack smashing detected** indicates that it's not a Qt error:

I can't reproduce this either. Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling it?

This appears to have been caused by org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia and should be resolved:
