Recently I tried to install the dev version via flatpak, but it didn't work. When I'm mousing now over "games" I can still see "Widelands (beta)" there but clicking on it doesn't do anything. This lets me think that the flatpak version still exists partially on my machine. How to remove the version which has been installed by flatpak? Will this affect the build20 version which I've installed via ppa? And is nobody planning to bring the daily ppa back? Wanted to save the world, then I got widetracked

The flatpak is installed separately from build 20, so they do not interfere with each other. To make sure that the flatpak has been uninstalled just run:
If it is still installed this will completely remove it. Regarding the PPA. As long as the GitHub- repo isn't mirrored to launchpad I don't see any chance of reviving it. So, your best bet at the moment are the Flatpaks.

Thanks, that's important to know.
That's a pity, but maybe flatpak can replace it Wanted to save the world, then I got widetracked

I definitely want to bring back the PPA, I just haven't had time to take care of it yet. We have an open issue for it: https://github.com/widelands/widelands/issues/3470 Busy indexing nil values

I fail to see the point of flatpak to install anything. It seems to install wl somewhere secret, I cannot find it. It does not link to my existing saves, maps, etc. I also found sound does not work because it was turned off by the command line but I cannot run it from the command line as I do not know where it is installed or what it is called.

If you want to start it from command line just run:
You can append the command line options directly, e.g to start the editor directly:
If you have build 20 and the beta installed via flatpak the you have to specify the beta version.
The config directory is saved here:
But if you want to use the command line you can also use the
I don't understand what you mean by this. You can enable sound in the games setting. Do you have PulseAudio installed on your system? If not, then there is no sound.

Sound is not enabled in the settings window as I do not want to install pulseaudio. The install is none standard for any system, I still have not found where the data files are stored so cannot tweak them. The whole install and run process is to obscure, with a normal wl install I can rub it from a menu or command line, no need for adding options it know where my saves. maps and overides are and just works. I see no point in flatpak for any purpose.
