Public bug reported: 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? ** Affects: gnome-software (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1716409 Title: Unable to install flatpak on Ubuntu artful To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/1716409/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
