Can't install apps

I am using ubuntu 26.04 and installed flatpak:

sudo apt-get install flatpak
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
flatpak remotes

when I try ton install an app I get this

This the same for all apps. What can I do?

When installing an application over the command line you have to enter the app-id, not the name of the app.

Just search the application on flathub.org and click on the down-error on the Install button. You can then copy the installation command.

That’s exactly what I have done but I always get this result:

F: An error was encountered searching remote ‘flathub’ for ‘flatseal’: Unable to load summary from
remote flathub: Signature made Do 06 Aug 2026 10:15:15 CEST using RSA key ID 562702E9E3ED7EES
Can’t check signature: public key not found

Fohles) No remote refs found for ‘flatseal”

But it seems that there must be a problem with this ID key, but I don’t know how I can correct it.:roll_eyes:

How did you install flatpak? As far as I know Ubuntu doesn’t ship with flatpak, but snap.
Did you follow this guide https://flathub.org/de/setup/Ubuntu ?

Edit: Pls run the install command with --verbose at the end.

I purged flatpak completely and reinstalled it new and now it works perfectly. :flushed_face:
