Flatpak setup service failing and computer boots up to blank screen
Hello, my system-flatpak-setup.service started failing the other day, and then my computer starts up with a blank screen. I am able to use alt f2 to switch to tty but i'm not sure how to fix GNOME from there. I've attached the logs from the failing service.

That sounds like two completely separate issues. That error appears to be complaining about a misuse of the sudo command
That sudo error is complaining because
notify-send
can't work on login screen. I prolonged the service boot timeout to 30s to avoid that, but if that timeout is higher, then it attempts to send notification on login screen.
I'm not sure why would Gnome stop working after this error & if it's related at all.
Oh, now I see after expanding logs
It's possible that one of the variables couldn't get grabbed while in login screen for some reason, so that sudo
error pops-up
I don't have any errors similar to that in logs
still, I don't see how this error would relate to system booting to blank screen, that's weird to meyeah agreed, i dont see how the flatpak service failing causes gnome to boot up to a blank screen
im going to disable the flatpak module and see if it still happens
ok its definitely not the flatpak service causing issues
for some reason gnome crashes on my latest build
and the ublue nvidia container service
now its failing to find random flatpak apps like OBS (which exists https://flathub.org/apps/com.obsproject.Studio )

Can reproduce, another user had the same issue, but I thought it's because of random flathub downtime.
I'm not sure why
curl
command errors out on it, I'll try to fix it
Merged the fixthank you !!!
i still need to figure out why tf my pc is refusing to boot 🤣 but thats a separate issue
one of these updates broke something for me
tbh im just gonna pin the working deployment and wait a couple of weeks and hope that it fixes itself
What's your base image?
silverblue nvidia image
hm i think it might have to do with the gpu

That's possible. Did you make any changes for nvidia?
i made no changes, it was just packages updating
You might want to ask folks in Ublue about it then
yeah im gonna compare my good and bad boot logs to see if i can spot anything
and then ask them
oh, there was a broken Nvidia update recently in Ublue I think
but not sure if they catched it in testing & fixed it for main
yeah im pretty sure the issue had to do with a version mismatch between the nvidia drivers i had
i havent restarted yet, but hopefully the versions should be fixed by noow
its fixed lets go
man rollbacks are so op
@fiftydinar I just started having this issue again with
org.gtk.Gtk3theme.adw-gtk3-dark

[17:47:03 g.i/x/linuxyz:latest] => 12.12 ERROR: This user install flatpak ID 'org.gtk.Gtk3theme.adw-gtk3-dark' doesn't exist in FlatHub repo, please check if you typed it correctly in the recipe.
the site works https://flathub.org/apps/org.gtk.Gtk3theme.adw-gtk3-dark
tried to re-run build but that didn't helpWeird, because for me, it's successful
btw, you don't need to install
adw-gtk3
flatpak if you already have system one installed
as flatpak will automatically detect it & install it on it's own when you input the install operation of any appi ran into the same issue with adw-gtk3
i ended up just layering it lol, but i think it was already installed
