Beta requires org.freedesktop.Platform/x86_64/23.08 which was not "found"

Tried to install the beta protontricks via the terminal, and it keeps on saying The application com.github.Matoking.protontricks/x86_64/beta requires the runtime org.freedesktop.Platform/x86_64/23.08 which was not found.

But checking my installed packages, it is in there

Could it be that you have enabled the flathub-beta remote, but not flathub? What does the command flatpak remotes print? It should list both.

Other than that, you could try installing it manually using the command flatpak install org.freedesktop.Platform/x86_64/23.08.

I have both remotes;

And have the Platform package installed on the 23.08, from the image on the first post showing the installed list but specified only on the package, tried using the command;

That's weird. The beta version does not use a different runtime compared to the normal branch, so I don't know why flatpak is not working here. Other common Flatpak apps such as Steam and LibreOffice use it as well.

Does installing the stable version of Protontricks work by any chance?

Also, you could try running the install command with verbose flag and see if the additional output offers any clue as to what's wrong:

flatpak -v install flathub-beta com.github.Matoking.protontricks

The problem with this is that you installed the flathub-beta remote as a system remote while the stable flathub remote is a user remote. Remove the flathub-beta remote and re-add it as a user remote using this command:

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

I had a similar issue with error: runtime/org.freedesktop.Platform/x86_64/23.08 not installed. I reinstalled is as user and it's working now, thank you.

the error message isn't ver intuitive and i don't think that I would have been able to fix this without your suggestion.

Also, Plexamp seems to be relying on 23.08 but flatpak is installing 24.08 when running flatpak install flathub com.plexamp.Plexamp. Is this an issue with the flatpak?
