[HELP] Updates stalling in desktop mode

Is anybody else dealing with this? In game mode updates install normally, but if I go into desktop mode, updates stall and never finish downloading. And unfortunately you don’t get to install desktop updates from game mode.

My internet connection works fine on firefox, and is plenty fast, so it’s not a connectivity issue. I’m not sure what’s going on.

Run systemctl restart flatpak-system-helper.service after the already mentioned flatpak repair command.

You mean Flatpak updates installed from Discover, right? I had issues with that as well, usually related to Deck entering sleep mode while the updates are running. The cause is that the systemd service isn’t running properly and needs to manually shut downj and launched (not a system reboot). I try to remember to look up what the exact command was when I’m back home. Reply to this comment if I forget to.
