Flatpak app Authenticator fails to run

1

I was trying this flatpak app: Flathub—An app store and build service for Linux

But it showed this message and exit:

flatpak run com.github.bilelmoussaoui.Authenticator

(Authenticator:2): GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: 15:44:00.607: Cannot open pixbuf loader module file '/nix/store/nzns77vx0wa2vfdmzbnhwgp8nbbwzspq-librsvg-2.42.4/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache': No such file or directory

This likely means that your installation is broken.
Try running the command
  gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > /nix/store/nzns77vx0wa2vfdmzbnhwgp8nbbwzspq-librsvg-2.42.4/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache
to make things work again for the time being.

how can I fix that?

It’s a known issue, though I don’t think we’ve found a proper solution yet.

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/53441

This workaround works for me for now:

flatpak run --filesystem=/nix/store:ro com.github.bilelmoussaoui.Authenticator

Edit: you probably want to suffix the filesystem path with :ro to make it read only (should probably be fine without it, but can’t hurt.
