I am getting this as well. It appears to be running in a loop attempting to recover from a python library issue:

"Loading error: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'verified'" appears to be what's behind this.

How can we have a Flatpak-free Software Manager?
Is it possible at all? 😕

Sometimes it's just a bug.

How long did you wait? For me it took a pretty long time but it eventually finished.

mtwebster commented on September 15, 2024

Can you run:

MINTINSTALL_DEBUG=1 DEBUG=1 mintinstall

and paste the output when this happens.

Thanks

svdasein commented on September 15, 2024

Ok - I guess I fixed it: I didn't have any flatpak repositories added to my flatpak configuration. I added flathub manually and tried mintinstall after that - now it works.

I have the same issue. I also do not have any Flatpak repositories, just fresh install of Mint 22.

It would be nice in the future, if Software Manager's correct functioning was not so tied down to Flatpak. Some of us don't like Flatpak and remove / disable it first thing after a fresh Mint install (not the case here, I have flatpak and gir1.2-flatpak-1.0 still installed, haven't removed them).

Edit: after manually running

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

now SM launches correctly.

Edit 2: If I remove:

apt remove flatpak gir1.2-flatpak-1.0

then the bug comes back and SM becomes unusable again.

How can we have a Flatpak-free Software Manager?
Is it possible at all? 😕

Idea: On lines 1456 and 1637:

if not pkginfo.verified:

we can add a None-check

if pkginfo is None or not pkginfo.verified:

although it doesn't fix the issue, just kicks it further down the road, now it complains Flatpak is not defined.
