Would not start nor under Wayland nor under X11. Base system is Fedora Silverblue 36, Gnome 42.2. It has been working flawlessly until now.

Same problem here, steamdeck in my case.

Same problem, Fedora 36, Gnome 42.2

Same problem. Fedora 36 with Gnome 42.2

I reverted yesterday's changes made to source, and rebuilded it, and it started up

I installed distrobox, got an Ubuntu container and installed Anydesk deb in it - does run but hope the flatpak would work too.

is it possible to install a previous working version with flatpak comand?

Same exact error on Fedora 36 Gnome 42.2

Yes you can change (downgrade) the version until the issue is fixed. You can do it by these steps in the terminal:

  1. flatpak remote-info --log flathub com.anydesk.Anydesk
    This will list all available version with additional info. You will need to find the version you want to install (Date: 2022-06-27 - latest working version 6.1.1) and copy the Commit number.
  2. sudo flatpak update --commit=INSERT_COMMIT_NUMBER_HERE com.anydesk.Anydesk

In the meantime until there is a fix don't update the app. If your app gets updated automatically you can run the commands again.

Cheers

Thank you for the work around! This saved me today.

Thank you for the fix.

According falthub doc. we can prevent/exclude from automatic updates with this command. --> DOCS

flatpak mask com.anydesk.Anydesk

have the issue, thanks.

It seems like many others are having the same issue and I am as well. I don't have anything new to add. If you need me to provide any further information please let me know. In the meantime, thank you to all those who have provided workarounds.

Same happening here, thanks for the workarrounds

Une mise à jour est publiée le 20 juillet 2022 et fonctionne parfaitement (sous Manjaro et Solus). Super boulot ! Merci :)

Acknowleding there's a risk in installing software that's no longer maintained, is it possible to install this still? If so, how?
