In Debian 12 I used the following instructions to install flatpak
-
sudo apt install flatpak
-
sudo flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flathub.repo
- restart system -
- sudo apt install flatpak gnome-software-plugin-flatpak
This allowed GNOME Software to see flatpak versions of software and has performed seamlessly on Debian 12.
I tried the same commands in a fresh install of Debian 13.1 with GNOME DE but unfortunately this has not performed the same ability to see flatpak versions of software in the GNOME software app. It appears to have completed correctly (re-running the command reports “flatpak is already the newest version (1.16.1-1)” together with “gnome-software-plugin-flatpak is already the newest version (48.3-2)”) and I have refreshed the Software app but no flatpak versions of applications are offered.
Have I missed something vital?
