Lutris 0.5.21 flatpak not starting

Support
1

So i updated flatpak version of Lutris to 0.5.21 on Linux Mint 22.3 and after that the Lutris UI would not load anymore.

Not sure if this warning / error means anything :

flatpak run net.lutris.Lutris 
Gtk-Message: 22:50:25.354: Failed to load module "xapp-gtk3-module" Traceback (most recent call last): File "/app/bin/lutris", line 68, in <module> from lutris.gui.application import LutrisApplication File "/app/lib/python3.13/site-packages/lutris/gui/application.py", line 37, in <module> from lutris.api import get_runners, parse_installer_url File "/app/lib/python3.13/site-packages/lutris/api.py", line 20, in <module> from lutris.util import http, system File "/app/lib/python3.13/site-packages/lutris/util/http.py", line 41, in <module> class Request: ...<160 lines>... return "" File "/app/lib/python3.13/site-packages/lutris/util/http.py", line 46, in Request stop_request: threading.Event = None, ^^^^^^^^^ NameError: name 'threading' is not defined.

Hello,

I can confirm the same issue on Debian 13 with exactly the same output. That is the flatpak version.
I don’t know what the update was but currently I am unable to start lutris too.
A temporary solution that I can give you is to revert back a version until someone else looks in to the matter.

Same - will not load UI. I’ve downgraded the Flatpak (net.lutris.Lutris) back to 0.5.20
(Linux Mint 22.3)

4

Same here on mint 22.2

5

Same here on Bazzite system trying to install beta version of Lutris.

I used this guide to rollback the flatpak version

Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

you missed a capital to net.lutris.Lutris :

sudo flatpak update --commit=19516c28a17c7beb7dd3505322ee451eb4ae2be55ce7a8a61a99487e81d2ff45 net.lutris.Lutris

Still same:

Grok AI helped me, I guess the issue was I had installed both stable and beta version.
But the following commands helped me to downgrade to 0.5.20 version and works.

Commands I used:

  1. sudo flatpak uninstall net.lutris.Lutris//beta
  2. flatpak remote-info --log flathub net.lutris.Lutris//stable (Select user, number: 2)
  3. flatpak update --commit=19516c28a17c7beb7dd3505322ee451eb4ae2be55ce7a8a61a99487e81d2ff45 net.lutris.Lutris//stable

new Lutris version 0.5.22 will fix this issue and will be available soon on Flathub.
