I get this for several months now whenever I do updates and cannot find any info regarding it.
Info: (pinned) runtime org.gnome.Platform branch 45 is end-of-life, with reason:
The GNOME 45 runtime is no longer supported as of September 18, 2024. Please ask your application developer to migrate to a supported platform.
If I do a flatpak list it says it’s a system installation, which makes me think I should probably not try to uninstall it manually?
System flatpak just means it’s a flatpak installed for all users on the system. If it’s still being used by another flatpak, it’ll prevent uninstalling the runtime, but otherwise there’s no harm in uninstalling it.
Its from Clapper Flatpak. They recently released an updated version on runtime gnome 45.
If you want to remove it, flatpak uninstall org.gnome.Platform and select the correct version (45). For me it also uninstalled an older version of openh264.
This is probably old openh264, because I have 2.4.1 version. I checked with: flatpak list --runtime | grep openh264
That is typo in the command (I can’t edit that post anymore, because it is too old). Command is missing character ' at the end. Correct command is: flatpak list --app | gawk '{print "flatpak run " $2}'
EDIT: Now original post was updated to fix this issue by forum moderator.
Check if flatpak app is installed: flatpak list --app | grep -i Clapper
it isn’t on my machine.
I’m not sure how to read that. It lists a bunch of flatpak apps, but not all? I did not see something that looks like an error though.
It’s not and I don’t think it’s a preinstalled app in Bazzite either. No idea if I ever had it installed in the past, I remember I tested some video players but went back to VLC, but if I had it installed short term then I feel it should’ve removed its dependencies when I removed it?
And if the runtime was not used by anything anymore, why did the --unused flag not remove it automatically either? Isn’t that the point of it?
But since it only removed that, the command should’ve also removed the old openh264 version, no? Especially since there’s apparently several newer versions installed.
applications that are listed by: flatpak list --app
runtimes that are listed by: flatpak list --runtime
Idea in that part of instructions was to list applications and then run each of the command to see if all applications work fine. If they do, then removed runtime did not make any harm. If some app does not start, then reinstall that flatpak.
