flatpak 0.6 fatal error

[worsco]

Any advice on troubleshooting flatpak version of the 0.6 release? 0.5 worked fine. This is the error from the 0.6 flatpak:

You need to disable the Hamster plugin (this unfortunately occurs if you don't have the hamster plugin installed), see #770 (comment)

Thank you. vim ~/.var/app/org.gnome.GTG/config/gtg/gtg.conf and removing ,hamster from the enabled = list in section [plugins] fixed the start-up issue.

In my case it was not enough to remove hamster from the list of enabled plugins. GTG would open just once and the same fatal error would appear after. Somehow hamster was enabled again. Adding hamster to the list of disabled plugins work.

Also, this should not be closed, it makes no sense that the whole app crashes just for not being able to use a plugin. Disable the plugin, or mark it as unsuable somehow.
