This might very well be an issue with the application and not with Flet, especially since it seems to assume a Windows environment (as indicated by the .pyw extension). It would help if you could link the application here.

Hello,

The app he mentioned is here that I'm the author of it. I created this mainly for Windows but I have tested it on Ubuntu and it worked fine.

Happens on my ARM ubuntu 20.04 VM as well, with a minimum flet app that opens an UI and adds some buttons and texts. The application seems to be behaving fine, would like either more information on the CRITICAL logging about what sort of problem this points to or figuring out if this value from XDG desktop portal settings is truly needed by flet.

happens on Ubuntu 20.04

I have the same issue with a minimal flet code: hello world. My system is Endeavours OS with Cinnamon desktop and I use Flet 0.20.2. However, when I run in web mode it doesn't print any errors on console. So this issue is specific to a linux desktop?

This is on AlmaLinux 9.4 with Xfce4

$ flet --version

Happened to me as well on Arch Linux running KDE Plasma 6 on Wayland.
The same error is also reported on flutter's repo, so I guess this is more of a flutter-related issue rather than Flet?

The example code does run, even though I had to create a symlink for mpv because I have mpv2 but Flet/Flutter expect mpv1 instead, but... I don't think it's good seeing these errors on the terminal?
