From be9551c2a35bbcd62a076a3ba0d1cab09aee4a34 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul van Tilburg Date: Wed, 15 Nov 2023 20:52:01 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Update the beta installation instructions The instructions in the README assumed that the Flathub base/default repository is configured. However, when this is not the case, installing Fractal from Flathub Beta fails because it tries to pull the GNOME runtime from Flathub base/default. This adds instructions to install the Flathub base/default repository, which is harmless if it is already there. --- README.md | 14 +++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 74ad2793..cbc64309 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -45,15 +45,23 @@ The current beta version is 5.rc1 (released November 8th 2023).
