I think there was an extension named Skip Redirect that solved this issue...

Tried it several times! Didn't fix the issue...

I don't think mintinstall lets you change where you're installing the program... Interestingly, I ran flatpak search libreoffice again and it quickly returned some packages, which it didn't do before. Still can't install anything though...

Linux Mint is supposed to come with Flatpak support by default. Running flatpak remotes shows that I have flathub configured:

Name    Options
flathub system

That said, thank you for answering! I appreciate it, even if it doesn't solve my issue.

Hello everyone;

I'm trying to install some flatpak packages, but have been unsuccessful. For example, when I run flatpak install flathub org.libreoffice.LibreOffice it gets stuck on Looking for matches…. I tried running the command with sudo, and it worked after 3 minutes of hanging on Looking for matches…:

user@JustThinking:~$ sudo flatpak install flathub org.libreoffice.LibreOffice
Looking for matches…

Installing 1/9…                        0%  0 bytes/s

It will certainly never install with this speed. I stopped it with Control+C.

I tried to install it from Software Manager (mintinstall), but it presents me with a time out error after some waiting: While pulling runtime/org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default/x86_64/23.08 from remote flathub: Socket I/O timed out. I'm on Linux Mint 21.3, updated just today. I accidentally installed an older version (installed just a few days ago) and updated two times, didn't work on the older versions either.

Any help would be appreciated.

(BTW, does anyone know why there are two graphic cards in my system info, the second being Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-LP Integrated Sensor Hub? That is certainly not a graphics card.)

Some websites display warnings even though everything works fine, like web.skype.com. But that's the closest thing to doesn't work I've ever seen on Firefox.

If you might need to share anything to Windows devices (unlikely), Localsend is much better. Also I think Warpinator couldn't share text (maybe I just didn't see that option or it has been added), but Localsend can do that. But they're not that different.

I personally use KOReader for EBooks. You can download a dictionary on it and it'll tell you the meaning of any words you select. I suggest you give it a try. Oh, and if you wanted to read PDFs MJ PDF is great.

Maybe try delta.chat? I use it, and it's quite good. Just make sure the guaranteed end to end encryption thing is on.

How do you cope with, life and the decaying world around you? by QuestionMark in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

[-] QuestionMark@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Write. Anything you like. Nonsense, the issues of the world, a memory, a story. Sometimes, things (thoughts/memories) hurt less when written. Then you can burn the paper. Or tear it. Or do nothing with it. But burning it feels so good. It's like burning your sad thoughts.
