[SOLVED] Flatpak install error

[Halvor_Raknes]

Iam trying to install the Tor browser using Flatpak. I need help understanding what's wrong and what to do. I jave previously run the install command, so some lines that were originally there aren't in the output now.

Code: Select all

$ flatpak install flathub com.github.micahflee.torbrowser-launcher

Hi. Would you be willing to install this version:
https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.gi ... r-launcher

[MikeNovember]

Hi,

1st: you apparently used the good command, but it failed. Try:

Code: Select all

flatpak uninstall --unused
flatpak repair

then try again to install TorBrowser Launcher.

could you print the output of:

Code: Select all

flatpak --version

2nd: TorBrowser Launcher flatpak is useless. It does not install TorBrowser as a flatpak (TorBrowser flatpak does not exist). It just install a flatpak that will be used once to install TorBrowser.

A package "torbrowser-launcher" is available in Synaptic and does the same job, without the need of flatpak.

If you really need a TorBrowser like running as a flatpak, for increased internet security, have a look at viewtopic.php?f=42&t=358889 (this uses Firefox flatpak and Tor service).

Regards,

MN

I fixed Flatpak following MikeNovember's directions. Then the installation with Flatpak went fine.

Thank you all!
