Start by reproducing the failure through Software Manager on Linux Mint Cinnamon running X11, using one of the listed Flatpak apps. Review the Flatpak installation flow and the reported flatpak override --user --share=ipc --socket=x11 workaround. Done means users are warned or prompted when an installed app lacks required X11 access, with the behavior tested against the stated X11 scenario.

Descrizione

I am using Linux Mint 22.3 Cinnamon Edition on X11 using
Software Manger 8.4.0.

To get recent versions of certain apps/ software, I often install flatpaks (flathub) via the Software Manager.
Recently I discovered that some of my flapak-Apps, which I used successfully in the past, suddenly stopped launching.

I had this issue with the following apps:
Okular
Kate
Xournal++

When I tried to launch these apps from the terminal via flatpak run, depending on the app, different errors messages were displayed.
For me, as a user, it was not clear what caused the problems and what was the (common) cause of these different error-messages.

After some research and bug reports (e.g. for Kate) I discovered that the issue could be solved by modifying the
permissions of the described flatpaks-apps.

My Workaround:
On the command line (or using Flatseal) it is straightforward to change permissions, e.g. for Kate, the following
command resolved my issue. :
flatpak override --user --share=ipc --socket=x11 org.kde.kate

Edit: After further investigation I discovered, that once the issue was solved, and the apps started again, I could revert the permissions to their default.
So whatever caused the issue, even though I could solve the problem by modifying the permissions, the apps continued launching successfully, after reverting to the default permissions.

To conclude, it is unclear if the Software Manger could solve this problem.
Perhaps the issue is caused by my specific setup - or it is an issue of flatpak itself?
