    Flatpak does not keep the settings

    Hi guys

    In a clean installation of Kubuntu 24.04, after installing FLATPAK support and give all kinds of FLATPAK permission, several flatpaks (Qbitorrent, Clementine and others) present the behavior of returning default configurations when they are opened again, as if they are finished being installed. I've tried to give permission of all kinds, I made a new installation, opened some bug signals in Github but no one can say what is happening and how to solve.

    Does any enlightened give me a way?

    Make sure /home/$USER/.var has the right permissions and is either actually there or bind mounted. Symlinks cause odd behavior with that folder in my experience.

    The first command resulted in this output:

    Sure, your very liberal with those permissions "777" but I get why you have that currently.
    Please show this:
    Code:
    flatpak list
    Then take one of those installed ie, mine:
    Code:
    flatpak list
    Name                       Application ID                      Version    Branch      Installation

    Lets look with TorBrowser this time:
    Code:
    flatpak run --command=bash org.torproject.torbrowser-launcher 
    [�� org.torproject.torbrowser-launcher ~]$
    Same window on the same prompt:
    Code:
    flatpak run --command=bash org.torproject.torbrowser-launcher 
    [�� org.torproject.torbrowser-launcher ~]$  echo $XDG_CONFIG_HOME
    After that hit return/enter and now:
    Code:
    /home/me/.var/app/org.torproject.torbrowser-launcher/config
    "me is my user here"
    If I need to look deeper then:
    Code:
    ls -la /home/me/.var/app/org.torproject.torbrowser-launcher/config
    total 11
    drwxrwxr-x 4 me me 5 May 27 16:12 .
    drwxrwxr-x 7 me me 7 May 27 16:12 ..
    drwxrwxr-x 3 me me 3 May 27 16:12 ibus
    drwxrwxr-x 2 me me 3 Jun  5 12:52 torbrowser
    -r--rw-r-- 1 me me 0 May  8 06:20 user-dirs.dirs
    Have you considered installing flatseal, it might just help.

    Re: Flatpak does not keep the settings

    1- My command "flatpak run --command=bash org.qbittorrent.qBittorrent", returns nothing

    2- Unlike your system, mine does not return:"[�� org.qbitorrent.qbitorrent ~] $"

    3- Flatseal was installed and open and already had all the permission released, which I don't even know what it is for.

    4-I'm desperate, this explains why I am "very liberal" in the permission I give

    Will you now show me this:
    Code:
     flatpak run org.qbittorrent.qBittorrent
    I just installed qBittorrent as a flatpak and first run I set my settings, then logged out and back in again and all settings were saved.

    Since you installed flatpak and added the right remote hub, have you yet rebooted?

    Yes, many times.

    Strange thing. I installed the version .Deb together with the FlatPak version and the two began to present the same behavior! Only after I remove the FLATPAK version did the .Deb version return to function as expected. That's weird!? I didn't know that both architectures could share something in common!

    Strange Indeed. I'm on Arch ATM, Let me boot to ubuntu where qBittorrent is a .deb.
    Be back soon.
