Title:
Unable to install flatpak on Ubuntu artful
Status in flatpak package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I saw a news article with a link to install a flatpak.
http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/09/download-pithos-pandora-app-1-4
I clicked the link expecting to be able to install the flatpak, but
the experience appears broken. I'm on an up to date Artful install
What I did was:-
Click on http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/09/download-pithos-pandora-app-1-4
Click the flathub link:-
https://flathub.org/repo/appstream/io.github.Pithos.flatpakref
This downloaded the flatpakref file.
I clicked the file in my browser, nothing happened
I then tried finding the file in nautilus and double clicked it.
GNOME Software launched and presented an error "Don't know how to handle
'file:///home/alan/Downloads/io.github.Pithos.flatpakref' (see screenshot).
If I search for pithos in GNOME Software I am able to find the older
version from the deb repo, but not the newer version from flathub.
Do we not support flatpak/flathub out of the box? Or is my system
uniquely hosed?
