ghost_laptop@lemmy.mltoLinux@lemmy.ml•[SOLVED] I cannot add flatpaks as user, what am I doing wrong?

1 month agoWhat’s happening here is that you only have a system-wide remote configured, but you’re trying to install as user. Flatpak keeps two separate sets of remotes:
System remotes (available to all users)
User remotes (only for the logged-in user)
Since you have no user remotes defined, Flatpak can’t find anything when you do --user.
You need to add Flathub as a user remote. Run:
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists --user flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo


Am I the only one who thinks it looks ugly? Don’t get me wrong, they are improving it in many ways and it’s going in the right direction, plus a ton of features and customizability, but when I look at Gnome I don’t doubt for a second where I want to be.
