Software: no icons, missing flathub apps, can't install apps

[aggalex]

Severity: Critical

System: Live boot, Legacy boot.

Description: The software app has a little selection of apps with apps like spotify, intellij and android studio, apps available on flathub, being non-existant. Most of the app icons are missing and apps cannot install

It appears from the first image that you may be running out of disk space and this would account for the issues you are encountering. Can you please check to make sure you have enough disk space?

@aggalex The Live images provide the Software application as a means of browsing what is currently available in Clear Linux* OS, but it will not have sufficient disk space to install most applications. We have to balance the size of the image with available resources, so it is not possible to allow installations into the live running image.

I have got the very same problem, running this as root fixed the issue:

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

I'd really like to get excited about FlatPak, but the format (via FlatHub) doesn't seem to have the same acceptance by commercial entities as SNAP. I am guessing Canonical i is being proactive and offering assistance to some of these 3rd parties and that is why this is so. Does Intel plan on any pro-active work to support FlatPak? Properly supported FlatPaks would go a long way to easing the transition and improving the experience of new users to the platform. Some candidates include JetBrains products (for devs), Spotify, Chromium and Brave browsers (since Chrome proper cannot be distributed)

that application is not handled by flatpak plugin, it is handled by swupd plugin and that issue could be that you don't have enough storage, at the end of the day gnome-software is just showing what the command swupd bundle-add inkscape returns
