On Ubuntu 18.04 daily with flatpak 0.11.3, gnome-software-plugin-flatpak 3.28.0 I have not been able to reproduce this issue. I did have a separate issue, which looks like a bug in cleanups between versions of gnome-software as removing all apps, remotes and caches resolved the issue - I have reported this upstream https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME /gnome-software/issues/328.
On Ubuntu 17.10, with flatpak 0.8.9 (which I am in the process of SRU'ing - bug 1752381) and gnome-software-plugin-flatpak 3.26.1 I am able to reproduce the issue - "failed to get related refs: using origin io.github.GnomeMpv-origin: Remote "io.github.GnomeMpv-origin" not found". This appears to be an issue with gnome-software-plugin-flatpak, not flatpak itself - I have spoken to hugsie and kalev upstream and they confirmed this. It was also stated that "flatpakrefs in 3.26.1 are known buggy." and "I'd suggest retesting with 3.28.0 or 3.26.7" - 3.28.0 appears to have resolved the issue, 3.26.7 probably needs a SRU? Therefore I am marking this bug as invalid for flatpak. Furthermore I have added a test for installing flatpakref's with gnome- software to the test plan for future flatpak releases https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Process/Merges/TestPlan/flatpak once this bug has been resolved. ** Changed in: flatpak (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1716409 Title: Unable to install flatpakref on Ubuntu artful Status in flatpak package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: 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?
