I saw these posts on Mastodon:

Oooh, after #Signal failed to start, I may have finally figured out why sometimes #Matrix #Element starts with a blank screen. Turns out #flatpak starts all applications where what it pretends is `/tmp` is in fact `/run/user/NNN` - which is a ramdisk with a rather limited size, and it simply runs out of space.

To which @[email protected] replied:

I wonder if this is why #Kodi (media center software) crashes after it has been in use for a while (since it is now installed using flatpak)?

Kodi crashes on me two or three times a night, but never while I am actually watching something, it either happens right as a video finishes playing or while I am moving around in the UI.  Now that I read this, it also makes me suspicious that Kodi might be running out of space in same way.

Probably not. I'm not aware of Kodi writing anything to /tmp. If you really want to get to the core of the problem here is the necessary info: https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/debugging.html

Posting a debug log can also help if it's something simple.

I an a user, not a developer, and I don't do logs.  I'll just live with it.
