Message #5 received at submit <at> debbugs.gnu.org (full text, mbox):
Hello,
I ran a system reconfigure for the first time in a while today. After
doing so, I noticed that Flatpak apps fail to launch. Specifically,
when running `flatpak run org.gnome.Fractal`, which was working fine
before, the application hangs instead of launching and, with `-v`,
prints the following:
```
F: No installations directory in
/gnu/store/v4dy0sfj7znnzar1nn18jz0aznjni2fv-flatpak-1.14.6/etc/flatpak/installations.d.

```
Of these messages, I suspect the culprit is "No systemd user session
available."
I had elogind installed through the GNOME system service while flatpak
was installed in my user home profile. I moved flatpak to the system
profile and reconfigured the system; this did not help.
Best,
Juli

Message #26 received at 71962 <at> debbugs.gnu.org (full text, mbox):
How do you run flatpak in a system vm?
I've tried setting up flatpak inside the VM, which didn't work because
I didn't persist the state; and exposing my user's home directory where
all relevant flatpak files are stored, which gave an "unable to
allocate session ID" error, which is distinct from the error I'm
getting natively. I could try building an image with a persistent disk,
but I figure if I'm running into issues running flatpak by sharing the
relevant directories, making those directories over again inside the VM
won't change things. I don't know how QEMU works well enough to noodle
this one out on my own.
I also tested `guix shell --container' to ensure that cgroups work in
other contexts, and they do. That combined with QEMU running fine leads
me to eliminate user group membership and kernel configuration options
(not that I've changed the kernel config from the default anyway) as
potential causes of the error.
It's also worth noting that I'm experiencing the same issue on a
different machine running Guix. They do share the base of their system
configuration as well as the user configuration for my user account,
though. I'll return to inspecting the configs for anything that might
conflict.
Thanks for your ongoing help!

Message #29 received at 71962 <at> debbugs.gnu.org (full text, mbox):
This issue persists and has worsened.
After looking into similar issue reports on Flatpak's GitHub
repository, I tried removing gvfs from my system profile. No luck. I
then also removed ntfs-3g and gnome-shell-extension-appindicator (after
noticing the GNOME dropdown control panel now alerts to applications in
the background) since I thought they may interact with parts of the
system that cause issues. Now whenever I try to launch Flatpak apps,
my GNOME session crashes.
