error: No remote refs found similar to ‘flathub’

I did a fresh install to play around with the plasma envionment, and while installing apps I found that flatpak doesn't work out of the box. According to the Flatpak page for Solus installation, the package xdg-desktop-portal-gtk is supposed to be installed alongside it. Flatpaks GitHub for that package mentions GNOME infrastructure, which I am obviously not using. eopkg confirmed it wasn't installed already. I decided to skip that and just run the next command to add the FlatHub repo.

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

After that, no issues.

mattprice#matt-pc ~ $ flatpak install flathub org.gabmus.hydrapaper

Installation complete.

Now, hydrapaper didn't end up working properly, but that's not related to the install process. That app is just broken. Apparently, it doesn't play well via flatpak install. I Installed VSCode with flatpak and everything is fine otherwise.

EDIT: Hydrapaper is not compatible with Plasma. The "broken" thought was referring to issues people were having on gnome based desktops.

I've discovered this is in fact a missing dependency issue. I installed 1Password via snap, and found that it was not able to start unless called from the command line. The result is below. I googled around, found this forum thread on snaps site, saw the xdg package, thought coincidence, installed it, and now everything is sunshine and roses.

should be working but what could be missing is some flatpak which give a better integration on plasma with gnome/gtk platform https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Flatpak#Styles_and_integration_with_other_desktops

[TraceyC77]

This needs to be tested with the 4.6 ISOs to see how things currently stand Related to #716
