Discover update error: "Aborted due to failure (Error deploying: while trying to checkout..."

[Degenerate]

My Discover seems to have ♥♥♥♥ the bed? I had a lot of updates at first and it seemed to get stuck at 99%, and I looked into that and someone else recommended running

> systemctl restart flatpak-system-helper.service

in konsole. This seemed to fix and allow most of my updates to proceed, but there were some holdouts that are giving me the error in the title. See ♥♥♥: https://i.imgur.com/0P4fTpP.png

at first it was just 3 of them, but a fourth update was prompted since then and it is also giving the same error.

does anyone know how to fix this? Already considering a factory reset but waiting on a new USB key to be delivered.

Thanks

Anybody got a fix that works?
I have tried everything in this thread and it’s still bust.

Any help would be appreciated

what errors were you getting with (e.g.) `sudo flatpak repair`? note that these are supposed to fix the state of your flatpak installs in general, but won't necessarily make Discover work again (which i have personally not bothered with at all)

Thank you for the kind reply.

The error it gives me in discover just trying to download VLC Player

Aborted due to failure (While downloading http://ciscobinary.openh264.org/libopenh264-2.2.0-linux64.6.so.bz2: Server returned status 403)

I tried all of the above stated previously and even though the commands executed, they did nothing to fix my issue.

I have also factory reset the deck 3 times to no avail.

Any ideas would be appreciated as this has stopped me using the deck for a few months, as I was really into emudeck and Linux, but now, I cannot do anything without failure.

Oh, that's probably not a problem with your steam deck! That's likely actually a problem with openh264.org; its HTTPS certificates are misconfigured, and my guess is that Discover or flatpak is probably too paranoid about the possibility of something bad happening to let the full install go through. Perhaps try running this:
`flatpak install flathub org.videolan.VLC`
and if you get any errors, copy-paste what happened over here or something.

Also, if you just want to be able to play some specific media file, you aren't that attached to VLC in specific, and you don't want to go through all this hassle, you could also try installing MPV (also via Flathub/Discover). It's not the same experience as VLC but IMO it's simple and pretty good.

Thx, that worked, my next problem is my system is saying it has updates, and yep, it aborts them.

At this point I give up, but thanks again for the guidance.

This is an older fix, but might be worth a shot:

Hi, I have almost the same error while trying to update some applications "Aborted due to failure (Error deploying: While trying to checkout [...] /var/lib/flatpak/runtime/org.kde.Plateform/x86_64/6.6/[...]No such metadata object[...].dirtree)"

I've tried every command in this topic and none have worked

If someone have an idea how to solve this it would be very nice !

Try (assuming you've already set a root password):

rm -rf ~/.cache/flatpak/system-cache/
sudo flatpak repair
flatpak repair --user
sudo flatpak update
flatpak update

Be careful while entering the rm command; that's deleting a folder full of files, and if you don't get the whole thing typed in you might delete too much. If that fails, I see that someone's had problems like this before due to a corrupted file somewhere not getting cleared properly (which you could try booting to a rescue disk and using fsck to fix, similar to how you would for any other linux box).

That worked thank you !

Hi I’m having a similar issue. I reimagined my SD and now I’m trying to download an internet browser on my desktop but can’t. Keeps on saying “aborted due to failure” I’ve tried everything in the thread and can’t seem to get it fix/ downloaded :( can anyone help me with this? Error message I received— Aborted due to failure (While pulling runtime/org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default/x86_64/22.08 from remote flathub: While fetching https://di.flathub.org/ repo/objects/49/eSb7b224637c002b72008670a3f8c98c69ad61a212153bb165df432b991f6.filez [56) Failure when receiving data from the peer)

"di.flathub.org" looks wrong; it should probably be "dl.flathub.org". The issue there is probably a problem with the package having a typo in its manifest or something. Try running `flatpak update` and then try installing the package again; it's possible the maintainers fixed that one already.
