@osomon, hey o/ :-)

GNOME Web looks like it has been archived on Flathub
https://github.com/flathub/org.gnome.Epiphany and removed from the store
for now. I believe this was due to security issues, which will hopefully
be solved with the new freedesktop runtime.

Eolie, looks like there are other people stating that the languages
aren't working, so might just be that the translations aren't available
for the app. (probably discuss with upstream)


Yes runtime extensions are not installed automatically with gnome software 
3.28. Eg themes, extra drivers, codecs etc. This works with the CLI as it had 
extra logic to deal with automatically installing such extensions.  Now with 
newer versions of libflatpak this logic is included as a "FlatpakTransaction 
API", GNOME Software 3.30 has a new flatpak plugin and will make use of this - 
resolving the issue for cosmic onwards.

However, there was also code submitted upstream which added this logic
to the old GNOME Software flatpak plugin to install these extensions
automatically - resolving the issue for 3.28 users. If this is approved
and lands into a 3.28 point release, I'd be happy to help go through the
SRU process to include such a change :-) (ping me on IRC if you want to
discuss anything).

Title:
  Flatpak runtime extensions are not installed when using GNOME Software
  on Ubuntu

Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When installing a Flatpak application that depends on some runtimes
  and they depend on some additional runtime extensions (related refs)
  using GNOME Software on Ubuntu 18.04, the runtime extensions are not
  installed. They are installed if you run "flatpak update" from
  Terminal after the installation. This issue should be already fixed in
  GNOME Software upstream so I believe that this is a downstream Ubuntu
  issue. Please, fix this.

  Steps to Reproduce:
  1. Use the latest, fully updated Ubuntu 18.04 image.
  2. Install "flatpak" and "gnome-software-plugin-flatpak" packages.
  3. Restart the system.
  4. Download and add the Flathub repo file: 
https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
  5. Search and install the "GNOME Web" Flatpak package using GNOME Software.
  6. Run the installed "Web" application.

  Actual results:
  GNOME Web is started with the default (Adwaita) theme (and without the 
correct locale if you use non-English system).

  Expected results:
  GNOME Web is started with the correct (Ubuntu) theme (and with the correct 
locale if you use non-English system).
