Fail to install VSCode

Hello,

On a recent install of ClearLinux :

salon@clr-4341697a062046e7bdb49b3ad3214027~ $ swupd info
Distribution:      Clear Linux OS
Installed version: 35210
Version URL:       https://cdn.download.clearlinux.org/update
Content URL:       https://cdn.download.clearlinux.org/update

I tried to install VSCode but :

What i’m supposed to do ? Try with command line ? Something else ?
CLI output:

salon@clr-4341697a062046e7bdb49b3ad3214027~ $ flatpak install flathub com.visualstudio.code

Thanks !

Hi, I have the same problem. Some clue?

Does running flatpak repair --user help?

Lately I am going away from installing everything via flatpak. In case of VScode
sudo rpm -i --nodeps code-1.63.2-1639562596.el7.x86_64.rpm

Visual Studio Code Remote Development Extension Pack is a main reason for ‘native’ VScode installation.
