Re: Octave flatpak not lauching - Linux Mint 19.2

[Eduardo Mapurunga]

Additionally, when I tried to run the app directly from the shortcut menu. A
small dialog entitled : "Octave critical error " appeared. The following is
the text from this dialog:

"
The settings file
/home/edumapurunga/.config/octave/qt-settings
does not exist and can not be created.
Make sure you have read and write permissions to
/home/edumapurunga/.config/octave

Octave GUI must be closed now
"

As a result, I tried to give read and write permissions for the
./config/octave directory through:

$sudo flatpak override org.octave.Octave
--filesystem=/home/edumapurunga/.config/octave:rw

Then verified the permissions using:

$flatpak info --show-permissions org.octave.Octave/x86_64/stable

[Environment]

The same problem continues and the dialog is still showing up every time I
try to run octave.
