Description of problem: After fully updating recently installed clean Fedora Silverblue 29 system, GNOME Software displayed this error every time its window was opened. Unfortunately, there was absolutely nothing related to this error in the GS verbose log and the error vanished after enabling the Flathub repository so I am not sure if this is a GS or a Flatpak (FlatpakTransaction) regression. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-software-3.30.6-2.fc29.x86_64 flatpak-1.2.3-2.fc29.x86_64 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora 29 Silverblue. 2. Fully update the system (using GNOME software or rpm-ostree). 3. Open GNOME Software. Actual results: "mkdirat: Permission denied" error is displayed in the GNOME Software window. Expected results: No errors are displayed. Additional info: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1509032 - Flatpak client showing the same error message, however this one was caused by unprivileged access.
I have the same issue. After installing `Fedora-Silverblue-ostree-x86_64-29-1.2.iso` I get the "mkdirat: Permission denied" in GNOME Software. I also note that there aren't any flatpak repos setup after the first boot. Calling `flatpak remote-ls` I get the same "mkdirat: Permission denied" error.
This error comes from flatpak. Reassigning.
i did a `flatpak remote-add fedora oci+https://registry.fedoraproject.org` and its gone for me.
