Hi
After I update the SteamOS 3.5.5 , I want to update/install the flatpak packages with flatpak update -y. this command does not worked and I need sudo access for that. Is this become rule of thumb for flatpak packages for this update?
Have you tried with --user ?
So, the right command is flatpak update -y ?
Maybe. I usually update my flatpaks through Discover.
Though it looks like the problem is that it can’t write to /tmp. Try using chmod a+wr /tmp and trying to flatpak update -y again
I don’t recall ever needing the --user option, if the command is ran by the user.
if you were running the command via sudo, then yes, you would want the --user option.
Understand that flatpaks can be installed system wide, or on a per user basis.
if you are not careful you can install the same flatpak system wide when you just wanted it installed by the one user.
I wasted a lot of disk space and time before I learned how flatpak works.

Your screenshot gives no indication that it’s a permission problem.

I checked it is a bug that cause conflict between distrobox and Flatpak. So, you have to pick Flatpak or distrobox. So, I need chose Flatpak and I need to delete the podman and distrobox is broken github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/5104 reddit.com/…/flatpak_update_issue_in_35_preview_r…
