snap-store update fails

Asked by Mick Alvey on 2023-05-11

Snap-store continues to fail to update - it seems there is a simple bug where the app/process starts upon login and then the software/updater process fials to shut down the ruuning process and therefore stalls upon tryin gto update the software. THis has been happening for several versions of Ubuntu and nearly every other distro out there.

Mostly people have been reporting shutting down the PID/process and then refreshing the software - surely someone can look into this issue and provide a REAL solution?

Hi!

This is rather an application problem than a snap problem (the app leaves a daemon running silently in the users session if you ever started the GUI part of it) , the team has been working on a replacement that does not do this, it is available in the preview/candidate channel already.
