MakeMKV not launching

[CinemathequeProj]

Hello,

I've been using MakeMKV for about 6 months now on Linux Mint, but I can no longer get the program to open. Running the flathub version 1.17.7 on Linux Mint (see below for full system info). I receive no error messages and I updated all the software and OS after initial problem and restarted the system with no change. Last used about ten days ago with no problems.

Thanks

Can you run it from a terminal to see if any log messages come up?
Use this command: flatpak run com.makemkv.MakeMKV

You could also try temporarily removing the config data in ~/.MakeMKV to see if it runs on a fresh setup.

If that doesn't work, check if makemkvcon is accessible.
alternate command: flatpak run --command=makemkvcon com.makemkv.MakeMKV

I don't think uninstalling and re-installing the MakeMKV flatpak will do anything, but that's also worth a try.

This is the error from Terminal attempt:

Gtk-Message: 16:03:14.996: Failed to load module "xapp-gtk3-module"
Qt: Session management error: Could not open network socket

[segfaulted]

This is the error from Terminal attempt:

Gtk-Message: 16:03:14.996: Failed to load module "xapp-gtk3-module"
Qt: Session management error: Could not open network socket

I get those log messages too, even when MakeMKV opens normally. They don't seem to be related to this issue. A few questions I'd like to check on.

1. When you ran "flatpak run com.makemkv.MakeMKV" in a terminal, did it finish and returned to the prompt? Or did it stay busy until you manually quit it?

2. When you checked makemkvcon with "flatpak run --command=makemkvcon com.makemkv.MakeMKV" did it show a help message or an error?

3. Could you run the command flatpak repair and see if that fixes anything?

4. What about running with a clean config by renaming ~/.MakeMKV to something else?

5. What about installing MakeMKV from a different source like a Ubuntu PPA instead of flatpak?

[CinemathequeProj]

1. It stayed busy until I manually quit.
2. A help message was displayed, no errors
3. flatpak repair produced following message "Working on the system installation at /var/lib/flatpak
[4/27] Verifying flathub:runtime/org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default/x86_64/23.0[21/27] Verifying flathub:runtime/org.freedesktop.Platform.openh264/x86_64/2.2.0[27/27] Verifying flathub:runtime/org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default/x86_64/23.08…
Checking remotes..." and then returned to the command prompt. Same issues as before when I attempted to open MakeMKV.
4. Sorry I need more specifics.
5. I will try that tomorrow, thanks for your help thus far.

Took me a little longer but installing from PPA resolved things and MakeMKV is launching once more. Thanks!
