I think the problem here is that you are running as root. Don't use sudo
to run Octave.
You can install flatpak applications system-wide or per-user.
System-wide:
sudo flatpak install flathub org.octave.Octave
Per-user:
flatpak install --user flathub org.octave.Octave
But you should always run it as a normal user:
flatpak run org.octave.Octave --gui
The problem with root is that Octave's pkg function assumes packages
will be installed system-wide if root is running Octave. But in flatpak
the application root directory /app is read-only by design.

After fixing the above you should definitely be able to install control
and signal easily as a normal user.
Does that help?
