Latest Flatpak version errors on Fedora Kinoite 39.

[globetrotterdk]

After install, SN stalls during start process.

When run from the terminal, the following errors appear:

it looks like this is an electron app. I believe that I have seen something about there being an issue with electron apps on Fedora Silverblue, Kinoite, etc…

Hi @globetrotterdk, yes, Standard Notes is built with Electron, though I should note that the flatpak isn't officially maintained by anyone on the team 🙏 Are you able to check if this happens with the AppImage or the Snap?

[globetrotterdk]

This turns out to be an Nvidia driver issue on an atomic/immutable system. I don’t understand why Standard Notes won’t run with the nouveau driver. Dealing with Nvidia appears to be a real pain on Fedora Kinoite, as normal procedure of installing Nvidia drivers from RPM Fusion repo doesn’t work well with immutable system…

I started having the same issue on regular Fedora Workstation a while ago (around the time I switched from X to Wayland). The Snap does work.

[globetrotterdk]

Hmm I thought that I more or less understood what was going on, but Fedora 39 KDE spin is giving me problems as well. The Nvidia drivers are installed, but nothing seems to help on a fresh install.
