@Asciiwolf, Personally I would prefer such a large change (229 additions and 37 deletions across 28 files) to be approved by upstream - especially as this is going into a LTS release. As it is not always clear what other behaviour this may change or break.
I understand that this is the patch that Endless are using in their distro, but I would need to understand how the flatpak plugin works before I would be able to make a decision. Ultimately to get this change into Ubuntu it would need to be approved by Robert Ancell, so maybe Robert is the one who can advise if we should require upstream approval or if it is OK to distro patch. As this is quite an important fix for trying to use flatpak with a GUI in bionic. I am happy to help with the SRU process and submitting the patches to the Ubuntu gnome-software git etc, I just feel I don't have enough knowledge of gnome-software's code to state if this is an OK change to carry. (... or maybe we just need to wait until gnome-software is a flatpak/snap/appimage ;-) then we can magically get 3.30 :-) ) -- 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/1754864 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).
