George I was asked questions for which I can't answer, probably the help of @DataDrake and @JoshStrobl , because this is due to architectural features. (if you installed repo flatpak w/o sudo error occurs: Creating repo: mkdirat:access denied) https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak.github.io/pull/478
Staudey In my case it shows a password prompt when running it without sudo and then works fine after entering it (using Budgie)
Girtablulu JoshStrobl mmmh just checked with a fresh budgie install and get the same error as with plasma
[deleted] On Solus Plasma it doesn't prompt for a password if you run it without sudo. Instead it fails with the error message posted above. Just tested this on a fresh install of 4.3
