[Software] Flatpak version of Newsflash doesn't run immediately

#1 Post by debianpwr »

Hi, I've installed the flatpak version of Newsflash (v. 3.2.0), a rss reader app.

I have Debain 12 with Gnome and I can see the icon of Newsflash in the dashbord so I can launch the application with desktop integration but my problem is that app doesn't run immediately. After 3 attempts the app appears but this behavior is very annoying, I want run the app in the first attempt.

Another weird thing is when I run the app with flatpak run io.gitlab.news_flash.NewsFlash in terminal the app starts immediately.

That's not a Debian problem, you should ask the flatpak version author/s.

Why not clone the directory and compile it - the instructions and dependencies are listed - seems easy enough.

Well, the app's maintainer says that is a system problem. Look here, a different user with the same problem.

I've tried but to try compile bleeding edge software within debian stable is a nightmare, I have problem with a only one dependency: gstreamer-player, for solve it I need to compile gtk4 devel, that is a infinity chain of suffer.

Well I think is a problem with flatpak and its configuration.
