next time you can use
su
orsudo
That installs and or updates roots flatpaks
Only with
--user
(I think)? Root can also update the "system installation" flatpaks, which are presumably what OP needed a password for.Ah, I've never tried
Which is what flatpak will always do unless provided with the
--user
flag.By default it operates in system-wide mode, which is different from "root's".
flatpak list
andsudo flatpak list
will both show you what is installed system wide, andflatpak list --user
will show you your user's, andsudo flatpak list --user
will show you the root user's flatpaks installed in per-user mode (of which there are typically none).
