Bug ID: 387844
Summary: Bad user experience when flatpak backend not installed
by distribution
Product: Discover
Version: 5.11.4
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Flatpak Backend
Assignee: aleix...@kde.org
Reporter: peter.eszl...@gmail.com
CC: jgrul...@redhat.com
Target Milestone: ---
At the moment, the flatpak backend is not installed by default on Kubuntu
18.04. When one tries to install an app from flathub, e.g. by downloading and
opening a ref-file
(https://flathub.org/repo/appstream/org.audacityteam.Audacity.flatpakref), the
file gets opened with kate.
Of course, Kubuntu should install flatpak by default and I will submit a bug
for that, but they may deny that request for political reasons (snappy). To be
save, discover should provide an automatic install option, like gstreamer-based
media players do it with patented codecs (with the help of packagekit afaik).
