How to get “flatpak enter” to work?












1















I'm trying to use flatpak enter to enter a sandboxed Steam client. To get a PID or instance ID I do like so:



$ flatpak ps
Instance PID Application Runtime
2581746118 4294 com.valvesoftware.Steam org.freedesktop.Platform


However, doing flatpak enter as root doesn't work:



# flatpak enter 4294 bash
error: 4294 is neither a pid nor an application or instance ID
# flatpak enter 2581746118 bash
error: 2581746118 is neither a pid nor an application or instance ID
# flatpak enter com.valvesoftware.Steam bash
error: com.valvesoftware.Steam is neither a pid nor an application or instance ID


Also, using tab completion after flatpak enter only shows command line options, rather than any argument to enter.
