I cannot install anything directly from OpenStore. [Solved]

[advocatux]

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

I'm not sure how to tell the OpenStore version

@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

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?

[Opolork]

@advocatux The Camera update still doesn't working.

[Lakotaubp]

@Opolork will keep personal stuff. At least you would know you had a correct install of UT. Other than that clear device cache. Must go for today though back tomorrow.

@Opolork I've asked in the Spanish group to see whether someone is having that same issue or not

[Opolork]

@Lakotaubp Thanks. See you tomorrow.

Hi. Why the Spanish group in particular?

[advocatux]

@Opolork because someone was complaining about a similar issue there
