I maintain Typesetter, and a user has reported a strange issue on Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon that I haven’t been able to reproduce on my own systems. I’m wondering if anyone here might have encountered something similar or can point me in the right direction.
The user reports that the app only launches in the first user session after booting the PC. If the user logs out and logs back in (or switches users), the app fails to launch. A full reboot temporarily fixes it, but only for that first session.
- Has anyone seen similar behavior with Flatpak apps on Linux Mint/Cinnamon or Ubuntu-based systems?
- Could this be related to D-Bus session management across user logins?
- Are there known issues with how Cinnamon handles Flatpak activation after session switches?
- Is there something in particular I should be doing in my app’s configuration to prevent this?
I’ve tested on Ubuntu LTS and Linux Mint in VMs without being able to reproduce this, so I suspect it might be something specific to the user’s system configuration, but I’d like to make sure it isn’t an issue in my app. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
