I cannot install anything directly from OpenStore. [Solved]

@Opolork Tru uText instead tedit has not been updated in nearly a year. That might explain things.

Opolork

I tried installing TELEports & uText just now. The blue progress bar still goes back and forth. I am online as the Morph web browser works fine. :confused_face:

@Opolork what UT version are you running? Which OpenStore app version?

16.04 Stable. I'm not sure how to tell the OpenStore version that I'm on.

Maybe this is connected - in updates there's 1 for Camera. I select update but it fails every time. The error it gives is (not in terminal - this is GUI interface output):

ProcessError: 0 - ErrorInProgress
Exit code: 7
Stdout:
Stderr:

@Opolork there are several ways to do it. You can open the OpenStore app, search for OpenStore, tap on the OpenStore icon you'll see in the results, and take a look to "Installed version" for example

@Opolork hmm so maybe System Settings updates & OpenStore are having a conflict :thinking:

That's like inception - install the OpenStore from within the OpenStore.
The version is 2.66.

@Opolork Also try to install that camera update from system settings, updates. If you can it's openstore related. If you cant probably need to look elsewhere.

The camera update fails.

@Opolork yes, that's the latest. So it seems the issue is between System Settings and OpenStore. You can try to clean System Settings cache, using UT Tweak tool for example, and see if that's enough to disentangle the current situation.

I don't have UTT.

Opolork

Would there be any terminal commands to try?

advocatux

@Opolork you can install it manually. Download that app (https://open-store.io/app/ut-tweak-tool.sverzegnassi), then open Terminal and run pkcon install-local --allow-untrusted /path/to/the.click

Of course, change /path/to/the.click for the real path in your case

Edit: you can go to the directory you've downloaded that click and then you won't need to specify a path, of course. Then it'll be just pkcon install-local --allow-untrusted package_name.click

How about rerunning the installer without wipe. That should clear stuff shouldn't it.

Opolork

Occam's razor wins out. Sometimes the simplest solution works. I just did a reboot and am now using TELEports.

Edit: Or is that the 'law of parsimony' perhaps?

Opolork

Jotit also installed fine. The camera update is still a no go.

I see no place to clean System Settings Cache in UTT.

Would that retain all of personal data?

How would that differ to System Settings > Reset device (Erase & Reset All) - besides the erase data part?
