Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with flatpak run io.github.gamingdoom.Datcord on Fedora Workstation 44 and compare the Wayland protocol, GTK, sandbox, and headless-mode messages. The issue also notes the cache path /home/user/.var/app/io.github.gamingdoom.Datcord/cache, which was already tested. Done means Datcord opens a normal window from the icon and CLI instead of remaining a background task.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Just upgraded to Fedora Workstation 44 and Datcord does no longer open.

When I click the icon it does not open a window and I get a crash notification after a few seconds. It shows under background tasks though. And I can hear discord sounds etc.

If I try to run it from the cli I get this:

user@host ~> flatpak run io.github.gamingdoom.Datcord
This instance is first.
[9] Sandbox: CanCreateUserNamespace() clone() failure: EPERM
[GFX1-]: (gnome) Wayland protocol error: interface 'wp_image_description_v1' has no event 2


(datcord:2): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 16:42:00.521: gtk_widget_get_scale_factor: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed
Window -> Headless

*** You are running in headless mode.
*** You are running in headless mode.

Tried to delete the cache folder (/home/user/.var/app/io.github.gamingdoom.Datcord/cache) but that didn't work either.
