. - Try updating your system packages by running the command
sudo apt update
or any equivalent command for your Linux distribution. - Check your system logs, such as
journalctl
, for any error messages related to Flatpak. - Try uninstalling the Flatpak you are having issues with and installing it again manually by running the command
flatpak install <app-name>.flatpak
. - If you have issues related to dependencies or missing packages, make sure to install the required dependencies before installing the Flatpak.
- If you are still having issues, you can try running
flatpak repair --user
