On a fresh install of Fedora 37 and trying to figure out best way to install element.
They link to a flatpak on their homepage which I tried installing via gnome-software:
The error message sounds like I need to tweak the filter. Rooting around the file system I found what I think is the filter - but it clearly says “don’t touch”:
$ head -2 /usr/share/flatpak/fedora-flathub.filter
# Autogenerated, do not edit
# See https://pagure.io/fedora-flathub-filter
Reading on the mentioned url I find instructions to git clone some repo and how to use it to create merge requests for new versions on the filter - but poking at update.py
has not changed anything on my system, just in git.
Notably the apps.txt
in the git repo after running update.py
already seem to mention Element:
[fedora-flathub-filter]$ grep -A5 im.riot.Riot apps.txt
