I agree there should be a warning or something about it.
For now I just added the citra-emu repository without gpg verification.

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists --no-gpg-verify citra-emu https://flatpak.citra-emu.org/repo
sudo flatpak install org.citra.citra-nightly # sudo is required here to bypass GPG verification.

Hopefully it's going to be resolved in the near future 🤞🏻

Equally.

I was receiving the message when updating via CLI that the repository did not exist, I uninstalled the version I already had on my system thinking that the Citra team changed the repository to something new. However, I cannot install via Flatpak for the same reason mentioned above.

I have the same issue. Unfortunately the flatpak version also still suffers from this major issue: https://github.com/citra-emu/citra/issues/5560 pretty much making it unusable if you want decent performance. Currently it's probably best to use the precompiled binary or the compile it yourself

I also had the same problem. However, I realized that there were some problems with other emulators, such as GNOME Games.
In the end after updating my Nvidia video driver, for GTX 1060, to version 455.28, the same thing didn't happen anymore.

Soon, in my case, I discovered that the problem was the 450 series video driver and not the Citra Flatpak.
Detail, the same problem occurred with the precompiled version. After updating the driver, as described above, there were no further problems.

Any update on this issue? Linux users have no way to install Citra without building it.

Thanks! Appreciate the hard work

You can download the precompiled version on the download page but that doesn’t work on all distros.

As @soredake mentioned, this is just an expired signing key. ~~A workaround is to disable checking the signature, but then you can only install it for your user.~~

Edit: Oops, ignore this. It's also not up to date on the repo.

seems to be radio silence from the devs on anything flatpak related

AFAIK flatpak builds are not enabled after https://github.com/citra-emu/citra/pull/5602 is merged

Just for your info. We put flatpak support on a hold until android is merged to develop. This will most likely result in some other release parallel to nightly and canary like once every month/ every second month. With such a release plan we can use flathub, then

Citra on flathub will be super nice!

May I suggest to update the webpage (https://citra-emu.org/download/) with this information (maybe a link to this issue too)?
Just to avoid people thinking they did some steps wrong :smile:

Note that this is the october 2020 nightly build, so this isn't actually nightly.
