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

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

Installing 1/90%  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.)

    Others will probably know more than me, but you know you have to install flatpak/flathub first don’t you?

      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
