Flatpak Error

[inajmi]

hi guys, I am trying to update the flatpak from the cli and I keep getting the following error

Info: runtime org.gnome.Platform branch 42 is end-of-life, with reason:
   The GNOME 42 runtime is no longer supported as of March 21, 2023. Please ask your application developer to migrate to a supported platform.

Appreciate all your help here.

Thanks.

upon further investigation it seems the app

HomeBank

Is causing this issue. Any idea on it would be greatly helpful

[Aravisian]

You might have some luck running

flatpak uninstall --unused

and see if that removes the annoying and senseless error.

thanks, the only issue is I am using the app HomeBank to keep track of my home expenses. its a nice little app.

[Aravisian]

The command flatpak uninstall --unused will not remove the Homebank app.

That being said:
Is the flatpak version necessary?
You could install from APT and remove the flatpak.

[inajmi]

if I can get it from apt great, I am not keen on the flatpak version. I have had bad experience with flatpak in the past.

Also just installed Microsoft Edge and that was only available with flatpak

[inajmi]

ran the command and it did remove a bunch of things but the issue still remains

@inajmi

ran the command and it did remove a bunch of things but the issue still remains

Let's go ahead then and try APT:

sudo apt install homebank

should work. Once installed, use flatpak uninstall hombank to remove the flatpak version.

For MS Edge;

wget -q https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -

sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/edge stable main"

sudo apt install microsoft-edge-dev

You might need to update it:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

[inajmi]

problem resolved.

Thanks.

You can install MS Edge via:
sudo apt install microsoft-edge-beta
-- or --
sudo apt install microsoft-edge-stable

You can download the .deb file for MS Edge here:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/download

If you download the .deb file and install it from there, it'll still update via the Software Updater.

I do wonder what spyware Edge is putting out though!

Me, too. I do not trust any company that monetizes user data. My data is my data.
