Hmm. #Fedora42Workstation does not include #gnome_libsecret. How shocking.

And #Flatpak does not check for this dependency. Less shocking.

This may all be sorted with a reboot… but I am in the midst of a backup restoration which looks to be more than half done… after 2 hours.

A screen capture of a notification window on Fedora 42, when trying to open Element, the standard Electron client, distributed in flatpak format, for the Matrix protocol messaging system. The text of the notification window:

No encryption support

Your system has a supported keyring but encryption is not available.

Electron has detected that encryption is not available on your keyring gnome_libsecret. Please ensure that you have the keyring installed. If you do not have the keyring installed, please reboot and try again. Optionally, you can allow Element to use a weaker form of encryption.

Cancel | Use no encryption
