I have no idea how your perms got messed up like that, though I'm not as familiar with the blend codebase as akshara, and it's been a while

really only thing Id lose is the games I redownloaded haha and my gnome setup

sure, go ahead and reinstall, i'll try to see if i can find anything relevant that might be causing the issue but my best guess would be that something else is causing the problem, i don't think it's blend's fault

It could be the nordvpn permission group I added

(though it does need better error handling) don't think so, idk how that would affect it, but i know pretty much nothing about your setup :p

anything I can give you to help you before I reinstall?
#1 mixed fraction hater
what are the perms on ~/.local/share/applications/? and what about the files in it? you can use ls -l to check

#1 mixed fraction hater
hm alright i'll def have to dig into blend again later, not familiar enough with it off the top of my head
Casual Linux Enjoyer
but safe bet reinstall im guessing haha oh while i have you do you have any idea why after my first update some of my flatpaks disappeared?
#1 mixed fraction hater
okay that's even weirder my guess would be user error, i don't see any way akshara could possibly have caused that :p
Casual Linux Enjoyer
it was after I updated my system.yaml

@EyesWithoutAFace, you've gained the level 1
#1 mixed fraction hater
yeah i don't see how akshara could have caused it though, my best guess is some change in your system.yaml, or some other user error was applied on reboot or something
Casual Linux Enjoyer
yeah probably
#1 mixed fraction hater
oh also in the future, please have logs and stuff as files/code blocks as well if possible, just makes things easier @Asterisk can we get that in the "read before posting" thing?
Casual Linux Enjoyer
Is ``` not a codeblock How do you do the code block
#1 mixed fraction hater
yeah that's a code block
like this
like this
``` like this ```
Casual Linux Enjoyer
Oh you meant my screenshot?
Casual Linux Enjoyer
Oh I didn't have much time to copy so I screenshotted Like it gave me two seconds my apologies
#1 mixed fraction hater
dw lol
Casual Linux Enjoyer
Funny how this isnthe first linux distro I broke haha So is it better to make one container for like yay instead of individual containers for apps
#1 mixed fraction hater
it doesn't really matter and there's are advantages and disadvantages to each like, one container for a distro will use less space but one app per container ensures you only have to deal with the dependencies for that app though dependency hell is pretty uncommon sooooo that doesn't matter much i'd say just have one for whatever distro, then have another for an individual app if it's being a pain and has conflicting dependencies
Casual Linux Enjoyer
Yeah I came from cachyos and I was getting dependency hell But thank you im hoping some people make some videos for blend ill close this when I get back to my PC
