modrinth not starting properly

Modrinth does not start up properly. I have normal minecraft installed and reinstalled modrinth multiple times (uninstall with warehouse). When starting up, it opens a new process in the taskbar, shortly opens a new process with a black window which has a white W on yellow ground as an image, works for 1 or 2 seconds in the background and then ends. Idk how to get at an error code (quick google search didn't help, as i haven't found the executable) but I have no popup or smth like that.

(the red error was a mistake in tealmangos command, he put a space behind com.)

Oops, the mobile keyboard I use tends to put spaces after punctuation and I missed that one
nagito || Knight of Emilia
try flatpak override --reset com.modrinth.ModrinthApp & launch after

If all of this doesn't lead to a fix, Prism launcher is the most popular one as far as I know so it might work better

thing Is that I used modrinth on windows and have a few things already setup there. Migrating that would be annoying....
nagito || Knight of Emilia
try flatpak repair
Parciwal
ParciwalOP3w ago

do you mind deleting the app's data? the only other problem i could think of is that
Parciwal
ParciwalOP3w ago
no, I don't mind, how would i do that? reinstalling didn't help so i am guessing it is somewhere else?
nagito || Knight of Emilia
flatpak remove --delete-data com.modrinth.ModrinthApp will do
Parciwal
ParciwalOP3w ago
same error, just once instead of three times
nagito || Knight of Emilia
warehouse also has the option somewhere

btw, I reinstalled over bazzar
nagito || Knight of Emilia
maybe downgrading the app will help
Parciwal
ParciwalOP3w ago
how? I can see the version history but not how I would change the version
nagito || Knight of Emilia
sudo flatpak update --commit=968b1ed9d62d54909d09343189a80d9ef8df84d3dde62736ac858c4d7f8cb8a0 com.modrinth.ModrinthApp this will downgrade it to the previous version
Parciwal
ParciwalOP3w ago
nope, same error
nagito || Knight of Emilia
next idea is make a new user install the app there & see if it runs
Parciwal
ParciwalOP3w ago
I'll try that well, my pc froze when I tried to change users... restart it is well, it's already installed, so no can do... at least according to bazzar when starting through terminal, flatpack thinks it isn't
nagito || Knight of Emilia
so bazar installs apps for all users by default nice to know oh maybe it isn't
Parciwal
ParciwalOP3w ago
well, when I try to install with command, it says /stable is intalled but when running it tries to find /master
