Fresh reinstall of Openstore failed
-
@domubpkm , @Ian
thanks for your answers. Rebooting after removing the folder did not work. Also the installing of the openstore.click file via uttt and also via commandline did not work...
I used the focal version of openstore.click, where can I find the Noble version for openstore.click installation? -
The trial by commandline ended with an error:
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ cd /home/phablet/Downloads
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~/Downloads$ sudo pkcon --allow-untrusted install-local openstore.openstore-team_3.6.1_arm64.click
[sudo] password for phablet:

This potentially indicates a bug in the program.

Is there an "off core" version of openstore.click for Noble for a further trial?

@uwahl
The way to install .click since Focal is with:
( to adapt with your click )
sudo click install --allow-unauthenticated --all-users ./calendar.ubports_1.0.0_all.click -
@lduboeuf
I tried:
sudo click install --allow-unauthenticated --all-users /home/phablet/Downloads/openstore.openstore-team_3.6.1_arm64.click
WARNING:root:Signature check failed, but installing anyway as requested** (process:11094): CRITICAL **: 18:33:39.067: file user.c: line 3452: uncaught error: openstore.openstore-team is hidden for user phablet (click-user-error-quark, 6)
No success. In downloads only focal openstore.click (and previous) can be found. No download for Noble. Maybe that is the reason why?

@uwahl better would be to install it directly trough open store app. e.g from fileManager open with openstore

@lduboeuf
...good idea, but impossible for me, because I seem having lost openstore completely from my app list. It doesn't show up as an option to handle a file...and just in case openstore is present (as a core app it should be?) it is completely hidden to me. Even after the upgrade to Noble...
So, how can I get back openstore app other than with a complete reflashing of the system? -
You can first try to install UT again with UBports Installer. Don't check "Wipe" neither "Bootstrap partition". Then, you will restore Ubuntu Touch with all your data.
If this doesn't work, you can try the following method, but warn that it's quite dangerous if you delete any wrong file, and that can lead to a non working device. So do this ONLY if you know what you are doing and assume the risk....
First, list all residues of the OpenStore:
$ sudo find /opt -iname *openstore*and
$ sudo find /opt -iname *openstore-team*Note all related packages (warn that it's not attached to another app)
Then delete all those related files like:
$ sudo mount -o remount,rw / sudo rm -rf /opt/click.ubuntu.com/.click/users/phablet/'openstore_file'.ubports(Replace 'openstore_file' with the name of the package you have listed / check the exact path as well).
Repeat this with all the remaining files related to the OpenStore.
Then, Re-install Ubuntu Touch using UBports Installer without checking "Wipe Data" nor "Bootstrap partition".
OpenStore should re-appear at the first reboot.

...finally it was possible to get back openstore-app without re-installing via UT-installer...
Looking into the log file of /opt/click.ubuntu.com/.click showed that openstore should be installed following my earlier attempts - although the app being invisible for me...
So with dir command I found some files openstore* in /opt/click.ubuntu.com/.click/users/@gcinuse and
/opt/click.ubuntu.com/.click/users/phablet
which were invisible in filemanager-app althought show hidden files swich ticked.
The files were removed with sudo rm -rf command, controlling the result with dir command.
Before attempting to do a complete reinstall I did a rebooting (@Ian @iduboeuf, we discussed a similar problem with hidden files recently...) and - tadaaa - openstore-app was back again.
Thank you a lot to all contributors!!
I will switch the post to solved state.By the way, how can you hide files making them invisible for the filemanager
