Remnant of Dev channel update still shows after reinstalling Stable channel.

[cliffcoggin]

@opolork I had a devil of a job changing from Developement to Stable. It took six weeks if I remember correctly, and even then, like you, I also had a pending Dev update awaiting which did not disappear until the Stable channel was further updated a month or more later. It seems to be a fault in the downgrade process. I suggest you wait until the next Stable update and hope that cures the problem.

@keneda Hi. I could swipe and delete the version 17 & 2102 entries but not the version 2105 entry. Yes, I'll wait it out. Thanks.

Hi @cliffcoggin, Yes, like @keneda mentioned, it should go away eventually - and as you said, when the next Stable update occurs.

My issue going back to Stable from Dev: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/6897/issue-installing-ut-stable-over-old-ut-dev-installation-solved

Cheers.

@opolork They this route:
Settings -> About > Check for update.
Usually this sorts things out for me.

I remember having something like that too. Iirc I was able to choose Install and then Cancel and it was gone

I'm wary of that. I imagine something going wrong along the way.
I click to Install then I get the option to 'Restart & Install' or 'Cancel'. I cancel to be safe. I wonder if there's another way?

Tried that. No change.

[spctrl]

@opolork yes, I did cancel as well and it was gone from the list. If that doesn't help, idk, maybe there was something else too, but I don't remember

[Opolork]

I don't think I can receive any new updates with the downloaded 'Ubuntu Touch Version 2105' update sitting there.

[cliffcoggin]

@opolork I think you can, however we can not be certain until OTA 20 comes out.

[Lakotaubp]

@opolork As you have not had any devel updates you are ok but you could double check it is still on stable in system settings.
If it is then the next stable update which will be OTA-20 is not that far away or if you want to try move to RC and get the next stable update early. Either way do not worry you will get the next update wwhen available for the channel you are on.

[Opolork]

Thanks @cliffcoggin & @lakotaubp.

I'll stay with the Stable channel. I already got burnt once by changing channels. So we wait.

[Opolork]

Perhaps it'll be remedied with this news: https://9to5linux.com/ubuntu-touch-ota-20-arrives-on-november-19th-with-pixel-2-support-in-the-ubports-installer-more

I installed an app yesterday, called headline. Just now, I went into the Open Store app and it showed one update was available. I applied it. Then I went to System Settings >> Updates to see if headline would show as a recent update - it's not even there. I still have this screen:

[Lakotaubp]

@opolork IIRC updates applied from the OpenStore will not then show in Updates in System Settings as recently updated. Updates only shows available updates when you open it. If you have used OpenStore to update apps then nothing is available and will not show so there is nothing to worry about. As a check see what the latest version of headline is available and check that against the version showing in your Apps.

[Opolork]

@lakotaubp Ok, thanks.

Yes, I'm on the latest headline version (1.0.2).

[Opolork]

I just applied 2 updates for headline & invidious. The updates show in the Open Store app but don't show in System Settings >> Updates. So my only way to apply the updates was via the Open Store app.

[cliffcoggin]

@opolork Updates in System Settings are only for the the OS. Application updates only appear in the App Store.

@cliffcoggin
No, some apps appear to update in update settings when available on the open store, like you can see on @Opolork screenshot above, but need to "search update" first.

Exactly.
