From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Facing Issues With Installing Flatpak Packages... Help? (lemmy.world)

submitted 4 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Hello everyone;

I'm trying to install some flatpak packages, but have been unsuccessful. For example, when I run flatpak install flathub org.libreoffice.LibreOffice it gets stuck on Looking for matches…. I tried running the command with sudo, and it worked after 3 minutes of hanging on Looking for matches…:

user@JustThinking:~$ sudo flatpak install flathub org.libreoffice.LibreOffice
Looking for matches…
Required runtime for org.libreoffice.LibreOffice/x86_64/stable (runtime/org.freedesktop.Platform/x86_64/23.08) found in remote flathub

It stayed like this for a while (the [|] didn't change either), until...

Installing 1/9…                        0%  0 bytes/s

It will certainly never install with this speed. I stopped it with Control+C.

I tried to install it from Software Manager (mintinstall), but it presents me with a time out error after some waiting: While pulling runtime/org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default/x86_64/23.08 from remote flathub: Socket I/O timed out. I'm on Linux Mint 21.3, updated just today. I accidentally installed an older version (installed just a few days ago) and updated two times, didn't work on the older versions either.

Any help would be appreciated.

(BTW, does anyone know why there are two graphic cards in my system info, the second being Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-LP Integrated Sensor Hub? That is certainly not a graphics card.)

Linux Mint is supposed to come with Flatpak support by default. Running flatpak remotes shows that I have flathub configured:

Name    Options
flathub system

That said, thank you for answering! I appreciate it, even if it doesn't solve my issue.

Yep, shows how much I know, lol. I use Kubuntu so I had to install it first. Good luck though
