I broke my flatpack

I tried to setup jellyfin, but jellyfin didn't see any subfolders in my home folder I tried to grant jellyfin the rights to read my home folder, but it looks like I did something wrong and now I can't update and install flatpak apps. This is what I see when I try to update flatpak apps:

Warning: Failed to get revokefs-fuse socket from system-helper: Flatpak system operation GetRevokefsFd not allowed for user Warning: Flatpak system operation Deploy not allowed for user

Are there any suggestions I need to make to fix flatpack?

You did a recursive chown or chmod, didn't you.

Yep, first time I used thunar to grant rights, and after that I used crown and chmod

and after I created the jellyfin folder in /home/jellyfin, it was easier to make it work

Did you install your flatpak apps per-user or system-wide ? https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-users/user-vs-system-install

I have installed flatpack apps for per-user, and there are runtimes and apps in my home folder

And I just tried to run the flatpack update using sudo and it worked, I didn't know that flatpack can be used with root rights

Good. Next time you want to give a flatpak app more permissions consider using Flatseal : https://flathub.org/apps/com.github.tchx84.Flatseal

I already use flatseal, I needed it to make bottles see some folders not only downloads

you can compare the permissions (or maybe even contents) of your last backup with what you have now. if your backup is made with tar, the d switch compares, for example.

👌😂 ah yes, straight from the finest collection of vintage backups that definitely exist

oh I do that all the time. tbh just alias flatpack=flatpak and you should be good to go.
