SUMMARY I'm on SteamOS (Steam Deck running Plasma 5). To save space on my Steam Deck, I have an extra installation for flatpaks that is stored on my SD card, as per flatpak-installation: https://man.archlinux.org/man/extra/flatpak/flatpak-installation.5.en Once I moved all my flatpaks to my SD card, the flatpak KCM stopped being able to detect my flatpaks. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create a file /etc/flatpak/installations.d/extra.conf 2. Add a conf file pointing to some non-standard installation 3. sudo flatpak install --installation=<installname> <packagename> 4. Check the flatpak KCM app list EXAMPLE CONFIG [Installation "sdcard"] Path=/run/media/mmcblk0p1/flatpak/ DisplayName=Extra Installation StorageType=sdcard OBSERVED RESULT The flatpak installed to the custom installation path does not show up in the KCM. EXPECTED RESULT The flatpak installed to the custom installation path should show up in the KCM. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: SteamOS 3.5.19 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.107.0 Qt Version: 5.15.9 Kernel Version: 6.1.52-valve16-1-neptune-61 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 8 × AMD Custom APU 0405 Memory: 14.5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Custom GPU 0405 Manufacturer: Valve Product Name: Jupiter System Version: 1
Is this basically a duplicate of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=485189 ? Or maybe that one is for supporting GUI to manually add them, and this one is "simply" to work with what's already registered with Flatpak…

This one is about the flatpak KCM being unable to detect any flatpaks from a custom installation that was already set.
