I installed flatpak and the last newsflash version (Which is officially just in flathub) but when I try to run it using “flatpak run io.gitlab.news_flash.NewsFlash” it gives me a weird error that I didn’t see in other places.
How do I fix this?
Does the app not launch?
nop, it doesn’t.
what do you mean in other places?
I never used a flatpak or the likes. Are you getting this through the command prompt by typing the command in the prompt or is it a dialog type box command that pops up when using a gui type app?
Sorry for my english. In other places is that I have made a research but I didn’t find something similar to it.
When I use de Gui app it doesn’t open and when I use the command prompt it give mes that error.
best i can tell you is check your log files and post any errors you find.
I was doing some test installs on my ARM devices. While I was waiting for an image to burn to a uSD card, I checked EnOS forum and found your Topic. What better time to do a test install for Newflash than when doing test installs on various devices. Here are the steps I used.
Since I don’t know what you have done or how you did it, I am going to be very simplistic on the steps I used.
On a fresh install of KDE Plasma on an Odroid N2+ ARM device I did the recommended steps to install flatpak using the “Set Up Flathub” button on the main page.
Notice this statement at the very bottom of the above URL
Note: graphical installation of Flatpak apps may not be possible with EndeavourOS.
Meaning that the best way to install Flatpaks is with a terminal window, not a GUI.
When the “Install” button is clicked, the command for a terminal installation is given.
flatpak install flathub io.gitlab.news_flash.NewsFlash
After installation, I clicked on the “App Launcher” and under the “Internet” group was the quick launcher for Newsflash.
Works great.

The comments here are hilarious, but anyway, let’s try to be constructive.
You probably have mixed locales.
The error is that flatpak fails to install all required locale extensions for your locales, then when staring the app glibc tries to fall back to the C locale, then flatpak-spawn fails processing UTF-8 data in a non-UTF-8 locale, and finally WebKit crashes when flatpak-spawn fails.
What is the output of flatpak --user config and flatpak config
You can also try to work around this issue with this
flatpak --user config --set languages 'en'
flatpak --user repair && flatpak repair
