Issue starting flatpak on Fedora 36

Description: Fedora release 36 (Thirty Six)

I just tried updating all the flatpaks, there were outdated runtimes, and ran flatpak repair, and still got the same error message.
It looks like a python 3.9 error. I notice python version incompatibilities cause errors quite frequently, might just want to stick a copy of tested python version in the flatpak going forward (?)
Hope this report helps. Thanks for everything!
Hey! Flatpak is running for me on F36. Same version. @averyfreeman are you still experiencing this issue?
BTW now that upstream is not dead but maintained, we can think about unretiring the RPM package.
@averyfreeman could your issue be #683 by any chance?
@gombosg for the Fedora RPM packaging, we'd be happy to see that happen, see also the work that some people had started in #709, maybe you can help there?
Nope, I had uninstalled it because I couldn't get through startup. I just installed it again as a user flatpak from flathub, same error:
**Context:** Startup
```python-traceback
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/app/lib/python3.9/site-packages/GTG/gtk/application.py", line 110, in do_startup
for backend_dic in BackendFactory().get_saved_backends_list():
File "/app/lib/python3.9/site-packages/GTG/backends/__init__.py", line 143, in get_saved_backends_list
I noticed I was having an issue opening remmina flatpak, too, which I hadn't in the past. Seemed to alleviate the problem by enabling access to system libraries. I'm on a new installation of F36 and have been installing all my flatpaks as user to make migrating easier.
Another thing I noticed is the system python version is 3.10 while GTG is looking for 3.9.
As an added info, my system Python version is 3.10.4, too, and GTG is working fine.
@averyfreeman let's rule out Python version issues:
- Run GTG
- While running
flatpak enter org.gnome.GTG bash -
python --versionFor me it's 3.9.9!
If it's not Python version, then it can be some config reading isse? 🤔
Sorry for lateness of reply, haven't been on GH in a while.
I'm really not sure tbh, I have a vanilla Fedora 36 installation, so there's nothing extraordinary I've done with the system that would suggest it should respond differently than anyone else's.
org.gnome.GTG is installed as user now, I've been moving flatpaks to user folder to prepare for cases of migration or disaster recovery, did not change issue.
I've run a general flatpak repair at least a few times since I opened this issue. Maybe there's a cache folder I can try and clean out somewhere? Or does flatpak repair do this? (I'm new to Fedora and flatpaks in general, so not familiar with how it works).
Hi @averyfreeman, I'm starting to suspect this might be the same issue as #845. Could you see if this has anything to do with your session keyring not being unlocked or being inaccessible somehow?
Hi @averyfreeman, I'm starting to suspect this might be the same issue as #845. Could you see if this has anything to do with your session keyring not being unlocked or being inaccessible somehow?
Hello, sorry for the late reply. I have no idea why it would be related to my keyring being inaccessible when everything else but GTG works without issue.
I don't know much about the keyring, but I did notice permissions look pretty open:
$ ls -la /run/user/1000/keyring
total 0
drwx------ 2 avery avery 120 Jul 28 01:37 .
drwx------ 22 avery avery 640 Jul 24 19:37 ..

srw------- 1 avery avery 0 Jul 24 18:59 .ssh
srwxrwxr-x 1 avery avery 0 Jul 28 01:37 ssh
I tried running gnome-keyring-daemon --daemonize --login, went to another window and ran ps -A | grep gnome-keyring, and there were two instances of gnome-keyring-daemon running. Killed the one I started manually, and there was still one.
So, hopefully that answers your question a bit. I did some poking around inside the flatpak at the code referenced in the error, it looks to me like maybe it's related to the first-run file that's created, as I still had this file from a previous installation, but not the backends.conf. So, I had an old gtg_data.xml, but the backends.conf file that looks like it was created on first run.
I tried renaming gtg_data.xml to see if GTG would initialize a new copy, but I still get the same error.
I went through my tracks a bit before writing this synopsis. Not sure if this data is particularly relevant, but I thought I'd include it just in case:
[earlier] I will invest some time in helping, I hope it's fruitful. I thought I should start by making sure I am operating an up-to-date flatpak:

I had not been aware of any manual configuration required outside of the direction of the GUI for GTG. Therefore, any changes in the config files are the result of my use of the GUI, or during installation.
Here's these configuration files for your reference:

. . .
org.gnome.GTG did work when I first tried it, but I uninstalled and re-installed it when it started producing these errors and failing to run, so I am guessing the previous configuration didn't survive the uninstallation.
Not sure why any of the .conf files would produce configuration error if they are from a fresh install.
Poking around inside the flatpak:

Inside the backends.conf under the [backend_caldav] line can you add a new line with module = backend_caldav and try again?
Actually, it seems stuff like server and username hasn't been filled out yet, so it should be no problem to remove the entire [backend_caldav] section in backends.conf:
[backend_caldav]
# module = backend_caldav (if you have inserted this)
first_run = True
default = False
human-friendly-name =
user =
pid = c04bb4bd-233c-4f00-b29e-369da34e04ff
enabled = False
attached-tags = gtg-tags-all
period = 15
username = insert your username
