Connection to SSH remote always times out

[zecakeh]

Since an update a couple of weeks ago, connecting to an SSH remote always times out with the Flatpak version. Downgrading to 0edbfb1 fixed the issue so it must be due to an upgrade. I would say that the issue started at 5651442, but I am not 100% sure. The problem appeared on April 2nd on my machine, and the previous update was from March 25th, so I assume that those are the 2 commits involved given that I can only see the OSTree commits with flatpak history.

At first I just ignored the issue and kept Zed at the previous commit because I didn't have time to look into it. I tried to update the Flatpak today to see if the problem was fixed and it is not, and I can't downgrade it again to a working version because it seems like Flathub doesn't have it anymore (flatpak remote-info --log flathub dev.zed.Zed only lists 6 commits which are more recent than the one that was working).

Installing Zed 0.232.2 via the binary works just fine so only the Flatpak version seems to be affected for me.

The only thing I could find in the logs are these lines which don't say much:

My system:

• Fedora 43 Silverblue
• Flatpak 1.16.6
