Hmm…it seems my “flatpak update -v” issue resolved itself…but as you see when I run the following flatpak command, it states that Gnome 3.32 is no longer supported.
sudo flatpak update
Looking for updates…

Nothing to do
When I do a flatpak list, it shows 4 Gnome versions installed.
GNOME Application Platform version 3.28
GNOME Application Platform version 3.32
GNOME Application Platform version 3.34
GNOME Application Platform version 3.36
But if I try to remove the Gnome 3.32, it says it is needed by some programs.
Is there a way to clean up these different Gnome versions?

douglas@endless:~$
I’m starting to wonder if the errors I’m seeing are due to my install method.
When I run the Updater, I get the following message: Updater disabled on Live Systems.
But I am running from an installed distro of Endless.
So, does my install think that I am still using a “Live” installer?
My install procedure…
From my Zorin Linux drive, (/dev/sda), I used DD to write the Endless ISO to a 32gb SD card.
I booted to the 32gb SD card, and when ever I tried to install to a hard drive, it would say, “Oops Sorry, something has gone wrong”, and wouldn’t install.
So…I used the clone method.
I prepped the drive I was going to install Endless on, using Gparted and created partitions the same size as the partitions on the SD card.
I then used DD to clone the three partitions from the SD install media to the 500gb hard drive.
Upon reboot, Endless, (/dev/sdb), booted and ran from the hard drive normally.
To complete the install, I booted back into Zorin and used Gparted to expand the 3 partitions on the Endless hard drive to fill the 500gb hard drive.
Upon reboot, (I use rEFInd on a SD card so that I can select booting to either Zorin, sda, or to Endless, sdb), the Endless install runs fine except for the flatpak update errors that I am getting.
then decompress & dd that file to a disk e.g. /dev/sdb (no need to worry about partition layout/size etc as long as the underlying disk is big enough for the dd operation, it will automatically resize to fill the disk on first boot).
Thanks again Leandro and Daniel…it looks like my original install method was causing the issue.
I followed Daniel’s advice and DD’d the image file to my second drive, /dev/sdb, and Endless seems to be running fine.
