This option only worked when summoned with sudo. However, it did not open
the graphical interface, only command line octave. When invoked without
sudo, the same error occured:

$flatpak run --branch=stable org.octave.Octave
ldconfig: Can't create temporary cache file
/run/ld-so-cache-dir/b5e9492c806c540a564b49a202dfca5af252935f7f736d47519d5c6968526faf~:
Permission denied
error: ldconfig failed, exit status 256

sudo flatpak run --branch=stable org.octave.Octave

Well, do you think it is worth installing with -v option? so it could give
us more information. It's strange, but at least the command line it is
working now, which may be a good sign for a correct installation process. I
don't know, could you give me more directions about this?
