Can't Install Inkscape

I am probably missing something obvious, but i can’t find inkscape via the gui and I’m getting the following error in the terminal. What am I doing wrong?

$ sudo flatpak install flathub org.inkscape.Inkscape
Looking for matches…
error: No remote refs found for ‘flathub’
[ble: exit 1]

flatpak install inkscape should be enough. If you have Flatpak at the system and user level it will ask you where to install.

Also you don’t typically need sudo with Flatpak, except for stuff like reparations. flatpak install --system [appname] or --user [appname] is enough to install stuff from the Flathub remote if you don’t have other remotes added.

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately I still get the same error message:

$ flatpak install inkscape
Looking for matches…
error: No remote refs found for ‘inkscape’
[ble: exit 1]

Can you share the output of flatpak remotes?

Sure:

$ flatpak remotes
Name Options
flathub-verified user

I tried out secureblue before and went back with rpm-ostree rebase. Maybe that has something to do with it?

Thank you for pointing me to the solution:

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

This allowed me to install inkscape!

Yeah that makes sense! SecureBlue does only use verified Flathub remotes and Inkscape isn’t verified. The remote config most likely stayed on your system. Glad you were able to get it to work!
