Issue with flatpak

English Applications
1

After update of packages from flathub, I received an issue with follow text :

Warning: Failed to get revokefs-fuse socket from system-helper: User flatpak does not exist in password file entry

How can I fix it?

Did you only update available packages or did you update flatpak itself?

TSU

I am running this command :

$ flatpak update

and the result is :

Warning: Failed to get revokefs-fuse socket from system-helper: User flatpak does not exist in password file entry

This probably needs a bug report.

Should I make this bug report and how should I do it?

That’s how the message gets back to the developer team. It looks as if they missed a dependency.

You can post a bug report here: openSUSE:Submitting bug reports.

If it asks you to login, then the same login/password that you use for the forums should work. But you might already be logged into the bugzilla by virtue of being logged into the forums.

I made a ticket in the OpenSuse BugZilla site with follow url :

Just wanted to mention that the solution posted at the bottom of the ticket by Fabian worked for me. Pasting it below to save someone else the time of hunting it down.

Not a flatpak dev, so cant provide clarification on why it happens.
However the error occurs when using flatpak with the --system flag.
Check that by “flatpak remotes” and see if the option says “system”.
To fix it delete the flathub remote “flatpak remote-delete flathub” and add it with the --user flag “flatpak remote-add --user --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo”.
I assume you previously also had to provide a root password when using flatpak. That’ll be gone too.
I don’t know how to reinstall all apps as --user though. It would be awesome if anyone could clarify that!
