thank's

Hi there,
would be appreciated if you could provide some more information. What exactly did you download, and how did you try to install it?
"incompatible architecture" usually means that your installed system does not match with the RPM you downloaded.
As an example, you have installed a 32bit Mageia (i586) and try to install a 64bit RPM package, which is technically not possible.

For the question about flatpak, same thing - how exactly did you try to install onlyoffice as a flatpak, and what error message do you get ?
The basic setup for flatpak is shown at https://flatpak.org/setup/Mageia/ and the installation is the same for every distribution,
as shown at the bottom of https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.on ... topeditors

Code: Select all

flatpak install flathub org.onlyoffice.desktopeditors

Hi Doktor5000

Thanks for your answer and forgive my bad english

First of all, my Target is to install ONLYOFFICE and OPERA BROWSER.

Sorry for the delay of my answer but since at the beginning I also thought about the diversity of architecture (32 or 64 bit) I wanted to make some checks and be sure of what I was writing, however the error occurred in both installations both 32 and 64 bit, last night I did a further test and I installed the 64 bit version 8.0 with the result that now with every attempt to install I have an error message that is no longer that of the previous installations on the other hand changes with each new attempt, the last one in chronological order is the following: "some of the requested packages cannot be installed because the DEJAVU-SERIF-FONTS criterion is not met" but careful it is not said that this is the only one at the next attempt I could have a different answer.
And this also happens with OPERA BROWSER.

As for the installation of the programs from FLATPAK, the page you indicated to me I already knew and I followed the instructions but without getting anything everything goes correctly but the program does not start, nothing zero without any error message and in any case if you read at the bottom of the page there is this message: "Note: graphical installation of Flatpak apps may not be possible with Mageia".
At this point I should be able to install programs from Konsole but honestly not knowing mageia I am not able to do it.

Hi Doktor5000

Excuse me only now I noticed the code you indicated to me I spent a lot of time for a useless answer, I focused on the answer and I didn't look at the instruction

Thank you for your kindness you have been really kind but above all useful.

thanks again

That is because you are trying to install an RPM built for a different distribution where packages are called differently.
The only thing to install something like that is to try ignoring dependencies, although for every dependency that you ignore you have to ensure manual that the corresponding package is installed.
You can do that as root with (where you obviously need to replace packagename with the actual name of the package you are trying to install)

urpmi --allow-nodeps packagename.rpm

Well, how did you try to install it ? Please post the actual command you used, including the output.

This is what it looks like here, installation and start of onlyoffice as an example:

[doktor5000@Mageia7]─[17:02:00]─[~] sudo flatpak install flathub org.onlyoffice.desktopeditors
Looking for matches…

It starts just fine, the message at the bottom is just cosmetic and not an issue.
