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
Do you want to install it? [Y/n]: y

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.)
Are you trying to install in a drive you don’t have connected or something? That I/O error is definitely suspicious.
I don’t think mintinstall lets you change where you’re installing the program… Interestingly, I ran
flatpak search libreofficeagain and it quickly returned some packages, which it didn’t do before. Still can’t install anything though…
