i got that on an arch based distro one time recently, i closed everything, opened it up again, tried to log in, and was successful. Have you made multiple attempts?

manual-pinkOP•2y ago

yeah, I've tried 3 times, but I'll try again It seems that the problem persists

manual-pinkOP•2y ago

I also get this when I launch the app

harsh-harlequin•2y ago

The devs will probably want a last log from the Read Me First post after you get the error

You're using the Snap package... Don't

manual-pinkOP•2y ago

oh yeah installing it with flatpack seemed to work why doesn't it work through snap tho?

CommandMC•2y ago

The Snap package is experimental (published on the "Edge" branch, meaning things might not work / break); in this case the error is caused by Python's Multiprocessing module trying to write to a file in /tmp (that it doesn't have permission to access because Snap is a very fun packaging format) I've searched for solutions for this a couple times, but last I checked it was a bunch of "Just don't use Snap lol" answers

oh alright, thanks for the explaination! I'll try to avoid using snap for now
