Bazaar doesn't work
After the update that replaced Discover with Bazaar, I can't use it. It says stuff like: "Could not retrieve remote content: failed to discover update-elligible refs for system installation: No such ref 'runtime/org.kde.kcalc.Locale/x86_64/stable' in remote fedora"
Apparently, according to random people on discord, I somehow managed to rebase bazzite as fedora? No clue what is going on. I just want to download stuff from Bazaar.

post the output of
flatpak remoteswhat is the output of
flatpak remotes?dang
also
flatpak list --columns=application,origin
this will list the IDs of apps you have installed and where it was installed from (one of the fedora remote)you will likely have to remove the fedora remote
I've no clue what that means
assume a certification of technical incompetence
the most dangerous degree of idiot
just smart enough to ruin something in a spectacular way
you will have to remove the flatpak source/origin (aka remote)
by removing the remote you will likely have to reinstall the apps you installed from there. in the message you just sent me there is 2 columns, application id and origin
so apps that, in the right column, has fedora written in it, you will have to reinstall
doesn't look like it's anything important
aight
do I have to do that by hand?
do you prefer terminal or GUI?
GUI all the way
mostly it's from bazzite's selection of apps, so after deleting fedora repo you can execute
ujust _install-system-flatpaks to reinstall themNot really, but its the system apps which make it pretty weird
Yeah
terminal is a horrible horrible thing that a casual user like myself should never even see
much less mess with
oh god, it's the worst word you could've used
nobody likes to hear: "this is a weird problem"
imagine hearing that at a doctor's office
ok do this first in the terminal
flatpak remove warehouse -y flatpak install flathub warehouse -y
both lines at once?
or one by one
first command removes your current warehouse installation (its from fedora remote)
second command installs warehouse from flathub repo, the one you should be using
best to do one by one
Im completely new to bazzite and kinda new to linux and even I cant download anything. I even did another fresh install.
if you have multiple, do 1 first
then relaunch the same command
this is different issue
but for your issue a different wifi should make it work
next time make a different thread
erm
okay
user one worked
hmm
try
flatpak remove org.gtk.Gtk3theme.adw-gtk3-dark -y
what does it sayso now try Bazaar?
it did an uninstall
try
flatpak remove warehouse -y againhaving someone named LUCIFER typing on problem
is not encouraging
Oh I thought both were the same issue related to bazaar.
I have tried ethernet. I will try wifi.
And it is the same issue
okay it uninstalled
what now
do you still have warehouse now?
no clue, how do I check
if you search your app menu is warehouse still around
oh, it's gone
I can search up "Get Warehouse"
but not the thing
if you click get warehouse does bazaar open & install properly?
bazaar is already installed and opens
it just refuses to show me anything
could it be my VPN?
I am Russian after all
I have to use a VPN just to be here
Could not retrieve remote content: failed to discover update-elligible refs for system installation: No such ref 'runtime/org.kde.kcalc.Locale/x86_64/stable' in remote fedora
yeah ok you still have to remove the fedora remote
Its not the VPN
okay, that's good
cuz if Youtube asks, I'm in Germany
run
flatpak remote-delete --system fedora
this removes the fedora remote that is likely causing issues, but you will most likely lose all apps installed from the fedora remote and have to reinstall them againwhatever, they are not essential
crossing fingers it helps
command competed
and I'm still here
soo that's good
Solution

enter is fine, all should be well there
aight updates complete
now for Bazaar?
Yes
you might want to try rebooting first to see if it helps anything
not necessary, but
Shouldn't matter
Could not retrieve remote content: failed to synchronize appstream data for remote 'fedora': Remote "fedora" not found
as a russian myself, I'll tell that both fedora and flathub repos works fine without vpn
oh great, and I have to go for like 2 hours
I'll be back
if
flatpak remotes no longer have fedora entries, well, youre at least free from one problemI have some white currant to berrypick
aka the worst currant
back
Why do we have to remove additional remotes? It worked fine with Discover, iirc. I have the same error because I have a local "remote" after following https://github.com/pobthebuilder/resolve-flatpak to package an app that doesn't have official flatpak. Will I never be able to install from anywhere else than flathub with Bazaar or can I add more remotes later after some initialization?
