This happened to me right now.

Seems to be related to the global bottles directory path (I set an external device as my directory) If i changed it back to the default location (.var/app/com.usebottles.bottles/data/bottles/bottles/) and i recreate the bottle, the error disappears.

@lob19 good catch. I modified the default location as well and it seems related to it. I've edited the original post to reflect this

I have the same problem with v51.16. Fixed it by also setting the working directory in the bottle itself:

Now I can open the command line.

This still should be fixed in Bottles (the configured bottle should respect the globally configured working dir).

[ddenev]

Spoke too soon.

You also need to:

1. Allow Bottles flatpak to access the external folder (e.g. via Flatseal)
2. Do the bottle config directory update upon every start of Bottles (as it resets to the default one)

Definitely needs a fix! :-)
