i dont know how to get it to even open

[PunkRamDevil]

flatseal will not open at all i removed it ,uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it still refuses to open

• What error do you get when you run flatpak run com.github.tchx84.Flatseal in a terminal?
• do other flatpaks open?
• what environment? (distro?, ...)
• did you modified the permissions of flatseal itself? Try flatpak permission-reset --all.

i get only this the other flatpaks run fine its just this one ubuntu not yet but im trying right now

@PunkRamDevil also, make sure it isn't running already in a broken state... so run flatpak kill com.github.tchx84.Flatseal before you launch it from the terminal..

Same issue. flatpak kill tells me the it is not running.

Here is the verbose output:

@SkytAsul I can't spot anything, can you share more details?

$ cat /etc/os-release
$ flatpak --version
$ flatpak info com.github.tchx84.Flatseal
$ dpkg -l | grep portal

[rusty-snake]

Maybe try to uninstall with flatpak uninstall --delete-data and then reinstall. Or rm -rf ~/.vap/app/com.github.tchx84.Flatseal, should do the same.

Uninstall and reinstalling did nothing. Here is the output of the commands :
