ConfigureRemote not allowed for user
If you are new to Linux, you may find that there are 4 ways to install applications on Linux, namely Package Manager, .deb file, snap and flatpak. But in some cases, you get errors like Flatpak system operation not allowed for user.
Therefore, I will share how to fix such errors. For information, the distro I use is AntiX linux, which is included in the list of lightweight linux for old laptops.
Why this happened?
This seems to happen because the command to install the flatpak application is wrong.
For example, initially I wanted to install the kdenlive application which I downloaded from flathub with the name “org.kde.kdenlive.flatpakref”. Then I use the following command to install:
flatpak install org.kde.kdenlive.flatpakrefSo it appear an error like this:
error: Flatpak system operation ConfigureRemote not allowed for user
How to fix it?
To fix this problem please add “–user” after the word install. Use the following command:
flatpak install --user org.kde.kdenlive.flatpakrefThen the error will no longer appear, but as follows:
The remote 'flathub', referred to by 'org.kde.kdenlive' at location https://dl.flathub.org/repo/ contains additional applications.
