Desktop Startup "Unable to restore session"

[mirdaki]

Description

The last several times I've logged in to my Fedora desktop, Element has failed to restore it's session, and I need to fully re-login. In each case, Element was closed by me restarting the machine before me starting it again and seeing the message.

Steps to reproduce

• Start Element

It should load up and restore my previous session.

Logs being sent: yes

Version information

• Platform: Desktop

For the desktop app:

• OS: Fedora 34
• Version: 1.7.25

Thank you for developing Element!

It may not be related, but each time I've tried to do encryption verification from my phone via scanning the QR code, it fails and I have to do it again or it just takes several minutes to propagate.

It is quite likely this is an issue with the community maintained Fedora package. The only Linux package that Element maintains is for Debian/Ubuntu. You should probably open an issue with the Fedora package that you are using.

Sure thing!

I have the same problem on manjaro linux on one of my computers that appeared last week (just sent the logs). I'm running:

Element version: 1.10.6
Olm version: 3.2.8

Unsurprisingly, after 3 years, we no longer have the logs for this, so can't really tell what happened.
