Don't set your own password-store. basic is the default. We should treat double command line switches in the future. |

Alright, but that doesn't fix the issue. |

Is it the same error message? |
|
Yes |

I get the same error. I updated Signal this morning, and received a prompt about database corruption. Now Signal Desktop throws an exception and doesn't start. After accepting the prompt and deleting the database, the exception is still being thrown: Version details: |

Same issue since the recent updates. Running flatpak installed on a whonix-17-workstation TemplateVM on Qubes 4.2.3. org.signal.Signal is also installed in the TemplateVM. User data is stored in the AppVM. I did
I was curious and tried running org.signal.Signal in a DisposableVM (so this is if i would delete all user data) based on the whonix-17-workstation TemplateVM with flatpak and org.signal.Signal installed, exactly same ENOENT: |

The error ist Uncaught Exception: It has nothing to do with the password store. Something else is broken. |
|
I had the same error. |
|
Also had this error, my /run/user/1000/app/org.signal.Signal folder had 800mb of storage used. I deleted it according to @Lik-the-Fluffin's advice and now it works. |
|
deleteing all files in /run/user/1000/app/org.signal.Signal solved it for me too. |

i'm running signal on qubes as well, in an appvm. i ran into the issue, and running log output of `run --user org.signal.Signal` on my machine:user@flatpak-signal:~% flatpak --user run org.signal.Signal

Same problem here on Qubes. Any solutions? |

Hello,
the workaround that is mentioned in the comments works just fine: either reboot to start with an empty /run directory or delete the temporary Signal directory from /run.
The problem is apparently caused by memory exhaustion of the virtual memory filesystem.

For me, increasing the Qube's Initial Memory from 400MB to 2000MB resolved the issue. Maybe the runtime didn't interact well with the Qubes memory balancing? |

I can confirm that on QubesOS increasing the Qube initial memory worked for me. |

I suffered from the broken database issue. So I had to uninstall signal with
flatpak --user uninstall org.signal.Signal --delete-data, then I reinstalled it. I followed the instruction of removingorg.freedesktop.secretsaccess in Flatseal.Now when I run Signal with
flatpak --user run org.signal.Signal --password-store=basicI get this message box:When I click "Yes" I get the following message on the terminal:
