Taking advantage of your post, the same situation occurs here.

Here, the application no longer opens via the desktop link and the store link.

If we hide the background icon that always crashes everything, the app won't open either.

Hello everybody!

Can this information help solve the problem of not opening the Signal application via flatpak on Fedora 40?

edson@fedora:~$ flatpak run org.signal.Signal

In openSuse TW the same thing happens.

Awaiting correction, as the application does not open at all.

Did any of you activate the required Wayland environment variable?

Did any of you activate the required Wayland environment variable?

Hello

Can you explain to us how this is done?

I currently use X11 instead of Wayland.

After updating the flatpak groups, the message that appears is the following:

edson@fedora:~$ flatpak run org.signal.Signal
Debug: Will run signal with the following arguments:
Debug: Additionally, user gave: 

The app still won't open

Signal works fine for me on Fedora 40.

Can you explain to us how this is done?

I haven't done this in a while, but the command should be flatpak override --socket=wayland --socket=fallback-x11 --nosocket=x11 --env=ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT=auto org.signal.Signal --user. Remove --user and prepend sudo if you have multiple users and would like to use it for all of them.

--socket=wayland allows Signal to use wayland, --nosocket=x11 is reduntant since --socket=fallback-x11 will let Signal only use X11 if the current session isn't using wayland (avoids fallback to xwayland).

Hey guys

I solved the problem by removing all content and reinstalling again

Flatpak remove flathub org.signal.Signal --delete-data

@serial02 that means likely you could have just removed the app data.

rm -rf ~/.var/app/org.signal.Signal

I am not at all technical - so if I should not be here please tell me.

Searching for answers to my Signal problem in Fedora Linux 40 that has suddenly arisen and getting worse.
I can usually start Signal OK, but when I try to open a message thread sometimes it works, but increasingly it gives the error, quits and then I can do nothing with it. Have to re-start laptop to try again with signal.

I haven't reinstalled Signal but will do so. But any tips or suggestions before I do that please?

Unhandled Error. TypeError [Err_Invalid_State] Controller is already closed
and then a list of Readstreams.

Apologies if this is not helpful or relevant nformation.

rm -rf ~/.var/app/org.signal.Signal

I don't believe this works as a fix, it opens once, but on closing and reopening, the exact same error appears.
