Bug 409902

I've never seen this, will need some further investigation.
Can you try passing QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland and see if that works?

Does not work for Clementine I'm afraid, but it does seem to at least try to start now.

Mixx fails with 

$ flatpak run --env=QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland org.mixxx.Mixxx 
Critical [Main]: Failed to create wl_display (No such file or directory)
Fatal [Main]: This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: eglfs, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland, wayland-xcomposite-egl, wayland-xcomposite-glx, xcb.

I see the same error messages posted in comment 2 trying to open clementine on Arch Linux running Gnome 3.32.2 + flatpak 1.4.2 on Wayland.

I think both applications shouldn't be using "--socket=fallback-x11", because in this case X11 will be used only when Wayland is not available, but on Gnome wayland session it always will be and Qt doesn't use wayland platform plugin on Gnome wayland by default.

Btw. both applications do work for me on Plasma wayland session, because there wayland platform plugin is used by defaul, or at least Mixxx starts and Clementine doesn't produce any error mentioned below, but doesn't show up for some reason.

This makes clementine run for me:
flatpak run --env=QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb --nosocket=fallback-x11 --socket=x11 org.clementine_player.Clementine

There seem to be just some incompatibility with Wayland. Just replace --socket=fallback-x11 with --socket=x11 and it will work.

Well, it's certainly a problem. People can't start the applications.
Maybe we can find a way to provide a useful error? or to have flatpak not use the fallback-x11 on wayland?

The only thing you can do in the runtime is to revert [1]. Otherwise we can only tell people using Qt apps in flatpak not to use --socket=fallback-x11.

[1] - https://github.com/qt/qtbase/commit/36d2ef5af9875afd9d398f5e37102194040cb1d9

If anything, we could tell packagers. Maybe there's a way we can add an error message on the packaging so the build won't succeed?

It makes sense to use "--socket=fallback-x11", because you want to use Wayland whenever possible. Problem is that Qt doesn't think so in case of Gnome. If you now learn people not to use it, they won't change it back in future once Qt decides to use Wayland on Gnome by default.

Maybe it's time to change this decision in Qt upstream, btw. we already plan to revert this for Fedora 31 and let Qt apps run nativaly on wayland. I believe it's ready to be used.

--fallback-x11 was disabled a few hours ago but the problem with clementine 
persists.
