So i was trying to launch steam but it did not work so I ran flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam and found the error messages below. I tried looking through the python scripts but i am not a programmer and could not zero in on the issue. Could some body help me as to how to fix it.

    Nevemind I figured it out. Was trying to give a new drive read write access for backups and the error stemmed from the fact the name had a ℅ in it.

    Edit - It was the path to the folder not the drive with had %

      This is still a bug in the package, please report it.

        Is it supposed to replace the % with %%? Because that is what it seemed like it should do from the code.

        If this is the bug you are alluding to then i will report the bug or else please tell me what the bug you referring to so i can report the correct thing

          The bug is that they parse a glib keyfile with configparser which is a different format. So what is valid in one isn’t in the other.
