Hi, I currently have the flatpak installed on my computer. I think either flatpak cannot handle updates properly or there is a problem with 1Password's releases for flatpak. When an update is released, the store (Pop Shop in my case) shows a notification about it. When I try to update the package, it starts to download but fails to update. This is the output of it when I try to update via CLI:

Hi, tunix. This is odd, as the update worked for the beta version that I had. It could take a bit for me to reproduce this for a stable release. That image got posted quite small. Could you post a larger one, or an English translation of the error message that you see?

Hi @Savanni , The image isn't small. Please right click on it and select "Open in new tab". But I just found out the possible root cause of this issue. I changed my locale from Turkish to C by typing the following commands: export LANG=C export LC_ALL=C Then the updates went through just fine. (I've all flatpaks installed as user btw not as system) Then I went back to Turkish locale and retried and got that issue again even though the update went fine with C locale. I suppose flatpak downloads the corresponding Locale for user's locale; this explains why it redownloads (all) locale package(s) once you change your locale. But I don't understand why such a problem would occur for 1Password only. (I don't have this problem with other apps though 1Password is the only one I install outside flathub)

Oh wow. That's a strange problem. I'll work on reproducing it on my side, now.

I have to say that I'm a bit disappointed. I was contacted multiple times by the support team, assuring that the flatpak updates will be sorted out and someone would get back to me. It's been nearly 8 months and here I am, still not getting updates at all via flatpak. How hard is it for 1Password to be available on flathub? Looks like 8.8.0 is out by now. I'm at 8.6.1 without even noticing that I'm behind. I was also told that a solution for the browser integration is close (although I was never promised an ETA) but it's not there. Or maybe I'm not aware (since I cannot upgrade) and it's already solved.

Hi CharDSon / tunix: I just wanted to update you and let you both know that we've resolved the issue with Flatpak, and 1Password for Linux 8.9.4 is now available. Thanks for your patience on this. The fix isn't available for the beta channel just yet, so if you're on the beta channel and would like to switch to the stable channel, run flatpak install https://downloads.1password.com/linux/flatpak/1Password.flatpakref and that will switch your 1Password for Linux installation to the stable release. Let me know! Jack

It's May 5th. I don't want to count anymore. I deleted 1Password app from my desktop and continue just with the browser extension. Thank you for not solving this in a very long time.

Around new years I installed 1password with flatpak on my steamdeck and since then the app has refused to update to the point that it is now broken. If I remove it and reinstall the flatpakref-file I keep getting an old version it seems. Instead of launching the app I just get a message box that says I've used a newer version of 1password on this device before.

Yet another reminder that this bug has been around for more than a year. If anyone cares, I'm a long time paying user of 1Password and I think Linux desktop users deserve something better than this.

3 months have passed. Still no news. Why is this so hard? Can someone please explain?

Hey @ssjbardock, thanks for reaching out. I understand you're encountering an issue with 1Password installed via Flatpak on your Steam Deck causing Discover to crash. It appears like a couple of other users have also encountered the same problem and we currently have an internal issue opened for further investigation. We'll be sure to reach out to you with any updates regarding this issue.

After installing via flatpak instructions on my HoloISO/Steamdeck laptop, I'm getting the following error:

Error updating appstream2: No such red 'appstream2/x86_64' in remote onepassword-origin

If I try to go to the installed section of Discover, it crashes the Discover app

Only way to continue is by removing 1password through the Terminal directly

Any idea how to correct? I'd really like to have it on my system, but can't if it crashes Discover every time it opens.
