Ubuntu 22.04 - Syncthingy Wont Stay running

[trymeouteh]

I have changed the permissions and even clicked the Reset button in Flatseal. No matter what I do, when I launch Syncthingy, it will run for about 30 seconds to a minute, never connects to another device and then Syncthing and Syncthingy will shutdown.

$ flatpak run com.github.zocker_160.SyncThingy
Gtk-Message: 13:21:19.106: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

Background / Autostart permission revoked

Yes because the Flatpak does not have the permission to run in the background, which causes the application to be killed by the system after a minute or so.

It says it in the logs:

Background / Autostart permission revoked

In order to make this work, you need a working background portal, which on Ubuntu is part of the xdg-desktop-portal and xdg-desktop-portal-kde or xdg-desktop-portal-gtk packages.

Those need to be installed and running.

Seems to be working now. Also had to enable background permissions in Flatseal

nice, glad to hear!

Same problem, installed from the Pop!_Shop, would run for a minute then stop. Changing permission (Portals -> Background) in Flatseal fixed it! Thanks for the program @zocker-160!

Yeah I sadly do not know why this happens, usually when running the application for the first time, the background portal should show a popup message asking the user to grant the permission to run in the background.
