Description Zoey Ahmed 2025-02-05 15:56:57 UTC
Kernel 6.13 Kernel Crashes When Using Portals To Open File Within A Flatpak e.g. uploading an image into Flatpak Firefox, or an ebook in Foliates Flatpak.

Also happening to arch users on 6.13 so not specific to Fedora: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/linux/-/issues/110

Using kernel-6.13.1-200.fc41.x86_64, flatpak-1.16.0-1.fc41.x86_64 , gnome-shell-47.3-1.fc41.x86_64 and xdg-desktop-portal-gnome-47.1-1.fc41.x86_64.

Worked just fine previously on kernels kernel-6.11.4-301.fc41.x86_64, and kernel-6.12.11-200.fc41.x86_64.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Flatpak Firefox.
2. Go to a website that needs to open the file picker portal.
3. Add file from portal
4. Watch the sparks fly.
Actual Results:  
Kernel Crashes, system fully locks up.

Journalctl output of kernel 6.13.

Comment 2 Freddy Willemsen 2025-02-06 11:25:47 UTC
Have seen the exact same behaviour using the Evolution flatpak. When attaching an image to an email, the kernel crashes.

Comment 4 Freddy Willemsen 2025-02-13 19:29:20 UTC
kernel 6.13.2 does not fix the problem.

Comment 5 Freddy Willemsen 2025-02-21 21:27:20 UTC
kernel 6.13.3-201.fc41.x86_64 just crashed upon forwarding an email as attachment in the flatpak version of Evolution.

Comment 6 Freddy Willemsen 2025-02-25 14:51:32 UTC
kernel 6.13.4-200.fc41.x86_64 just crashed upon forwarding an email as attachment in the flatpak version of Evolution.
The mentioned issue for arch linux appears to be resolved a while ago, not sure why the mentioned patch there has not made it into the Fedora version ....

Comment 7 Freddy Willemsen 2025-02-28 10:24:15 UTC
kernel-6.13.5-200.fc41 appears to be working, thanks to the fuse readahead fix!!

Comment 8 Adam Williamson 2025-12-02 02:19:05 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 41 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 41 on 2025-12-15.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '41'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 41 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Fedora Linux 41 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2025-12-15.

Fedora Linux 41 is no longer maintained, which means that it
will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we
are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora Linux
please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Note that the version
field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see
the version field.

If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against an
active release.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
