RetroArch opens and immediately closes using flatpak

[historyb1]

Hello,

I downloaded RetroArch flatpak on Linuxmint 21.3. I have tried RetroArch flatpak on others such as Kubuntu and Manjaro with the same result.

Could you provide some verbose logs?

@historyb1 Please provide some log using something like

/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=retroarch org.libretro.RetroArch -v --log-file ~/ra.log

And the log should be in your home directory.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to do a diagnostic.

Thank you.

Same Issue again, here's my logs.
System Info:
Arch LInux (latest)
Nvidia 4060
ra.log

I started getting the issue after updating my nvidia drivers

In case this helps anyone, I was seeing the same issue with the video_driver set to glcore. Updating that to vulkan manually in the config file (~/.var/app/org.libretro.RetroArch/config/retroarch/retroarch.cfg) got RetroArch to start again!

I can not reproduce the issue on Wayland using GLcore video driver and Intel HD 4000 (Mesa)
