I have installed flatpak octave in Linux Mint 18.3 (64-bit) and have
install -forge package_name formula each time. As far as I can see this
has worked exactly as it should. If I use the file browser in flatpak
visible there. (This directory is visible only from within the octave
flatpak).
As far as I can see flatpak octave runs the .octaverc file as it starts.

Thank you Rick. I have used that flathub and same command but not work.
Maybe my mini laptop Acer Aspire one is faulty. Istalling xubuntu I got
ACPI errors but I managed to install xubuntu 18.04.1.

I use ubuntu 18.04 and the package manager has a flathub version in there
also https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.octave.Octave
then in the command window type '*pkg install -forge signal*' for the
signal package
Is it so that nobody knows how to install signal and control packages to
octave 4.4.1 version (xubuntu 18.04.1).

Hi
I should need octave packages (signal, control,....). How can I
install them from flatpak/flathub?

=========================================
Flatpak is a container/isolation tool. I.e. it creates an environment for
the application whose package is supposed to be built in a manner imitating
absence of libraries at system level, so any needed for the application
libraries won't conflict with the system ones. E.g. different from system
libraries versions can be used.
Flatpak does NOT resolve the issues of the packaging system of the
application for which one wants to build a package.
The fundamental problem with Octave is that its packaging system is
broken. From my analysis of the Octave packaging system made several years
ago the system has never been properly spec'ed/designed.
