Gregg's MOTD

Tips & Tricks that I've Encountered Over the Years...

Install Spotify using Flatpak using Command Line

September 05, 2023 — Gregg Szumowski

If Flatpak is not installed, then install it:

$ sudo dnf install -y flatpak # Fedora
$ sudo apt install flatpak # Ubuntu-based
$ sudo zypper install flatpak # SUSE
$ sudo pacman -S flatpak # Arch-based

Since flathub.org is the most popular flatpak repository we will use the command line to enable it:

$ flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub \
https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

Go to the Spotify page on Flathub and choose “Install”, or run the installation from the command line:

$ sudo flatpak install flathub com.spotify.Client

Install Kooha on Ubuntu 21.04

June 01, 2023 — Gregg Szumowski

Kooha is a GTK-based screen recorder for Linux for recording screens and audio from your desktop or microphone. It is very simple to use

Install flathub from the Ubuntu software repository:

$ sudo apt install flatpak from the repository:

Install Koohu from the command line:

$ flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
$ flatpak install flathub io.github.seadve.Kooha

You should now see an icon for Kooha in you GNOME applications window.
