I know nothing about what flatpak actually is, but it seems that when I try to update Bazzite on my Ally X via the terminal, the process hang on the portion where it’s looking for flatpak updates. I assume that’s also why updating apps through the desktop mode ‘discover’ window also hangs at like 99%. Started a few days ago.
At one point, there was some sort of ‘time-out’ error, and it said something to the effect of not being to resolve a long URL, so I assumed it was my DNS. I changed it to Google (8.8.8.8) and no luck. Then, I tried it over tethering on my phone rather than my home WiFi, and things seemed to work. I don’t have any website restrictions on my home router, and firmware for it hasn’t been updated in a few months. Started happening after an update earlier last week on my device.
Anyone have a clue as to what the heck is going on?? If not, think I’m just gonna wipe and go back to Windows on the Ally X until a steamOS iso comes out. Just not worth the time.
There is no need to update applications through Discover. The update in Steam Gaming Mode, System Update application, or ujust update command also upgrades them.
If you want an output, try: flatpak update if an application is failing to upgrade.
Thanks so much for your response! I just did the u just update method yesterday and it always seems to hang at the flatpak steps on my home WiFi, but for some reason not on other WiFi networks like my phone. I can only think that somehow the network traffic is being flagged as malicious on a firmware level on my router, which is crazy. Otherwise, is there some terminal command you can suggest for me to wipe any and all traces of saved networks configurations and broken flatpak-related files, to kinda start afresh with both?
Again, thanks so much for your help! I’m very new obviously, but can follow directions decently well.
I’ll post whatever readout comes from the flatpak command you suggested, by the way, in case anyone else has this issue.
