Hi MartinPerhaps you added the flathub repository as root using the --user switch? (wrong)
Can you paste the output of this command both as root and as normal user?
flatpak remotes I have this as normal user: $ flatpak remotes Name Options flathub system flathub-beta user Did you read this page? https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/using-flatpak.html#system-versus-userYou shouldn't be root to install any flatpak application. I can't remember if adding the repository at system level requires root privileges. In a nutshell, if you add a repository using the --user switch, any application installed from that repository will be installed at user level and available only to that user; otherwise the default is system level.

Hi Federico,I welcome this since I've been having problems with Frescobaldi under both CentOS 7 and 8 for a while.I followed the setup guide on the host CentOS8 machine and downloaded the flathub repository file. First problem: I had to be root to install it - I thought flatpak was meant to be at user level?I then installed Frescobaldi (using cut-and-paste). If I tried to run it as a user I got the message: "error: app/org.frescobaldi.Frescobaldi/x86_64/master not installed". As a test I tried running it as root (I know, bad practice) and the window opened, but then hung and would not die.Any suggestions?

Bugs: - Doumentation browser is not working. There's something wrong in the way I built PyQtWebEngine...Current stable installed size is 287 MB. (not including the KDE runtime) Current beta release shipping lilypond 2.21.80 is 245 MB (no need to include python2).Installing the stable version should be straightforward.If you want to install the beta version (which currently has only the "stable RC" of lilypond), run these commands:flatpak remote-add --user flathub-beta https://flathub.org/beta-repo/flathub-beta.flatpakrepoflatpak install --user flathub-beta org.frescobaldi.Frescobaldi Cheers Federico-- J Martin Rushton MBCS
