Linux flatpak autostart does not work due to wrong command

(#4002) Bug Closed: Answered desktop
by HellaMadMax

Reproduction steps

  1. Open Flatpak version of Fluxer
  2. Go into settings and enable "Linux app-> Launch Fluxer at login"
  3. Restart OR Quit Fluxer and press start in KDE Settings System->Autostart->Fluxer

Expected behaviour

Fluxer will automatically open on OS start, or manually when pressing start in KDE Settings System->Autostart->Fluxer

Actual behaviour

Fluxer does not start and silently fails. Looking at the log can see it gets the below error: app-app.fluxer.Fluxer@autostart.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

Build information

Stable Desktop 2026.1004.10845, Web 2026.1008.22643, Linux 7.0.0-38-generic (x64), Electron 44.4.1, Chrome 152.0.7977.78, Node 24.21.0, Locale en-GB

Platform

Linux

Evidence

Below is the autostart file from /home/(user)/.config/autostart/: [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=Fluxer X-XDP-Autostart=app.fluxer.Fluxer Exec=flatpak run --command=fluxer app.fluxer.Fluxer --autostart X-Flatpak=app.fluxer.Fluxer I also have a screenshot of the KDE Autostart screen showing it failed. Screenshot_20261014_145705.png Manually trying to run the Exec command gives the following message: flatpak run --command=fluxer app.fluxer.Fluxer --autostart bwrap: execvp fluxer: No such file or directory whereas the below without --command works without issue: flatpak run app.fluxer.Fluxer --autostart

I was able to replicate this issue on flatpak stable, however it looks like this has already been fixed in flatpak canary, so the fix should come to stable whenever it is next caught up to canary.
