        Hi.

        I tried to install tedit & Telegram (Unofficial) from the OpenStore app. In both cases, a blue bar just keeps going back and forth and nothing happens. 😖
        I did manage to get tedit installed by downloading it (tedit.fulvio_1.9_armhf.click) to my PC and then copying it onto my phones SD card - however the app is buggy to say the least.
        Anyone have an idea how to remedy this?
        Thanks.

          @Opolork Your better off with TELEports rather than Telegram try that. Don't think theres any issues with the openstore.
          Edit: No its working for me. Try again and double check your wifi/data connection first.

            @Opolork I'm testing the OpenStore now, first using a wifi connection, then a data connection, and I can install apps without any trouble.

            Edit to add that if you have any issue with tedit, you can report it here https://github.com/fulvio999/tedit/issues

            Btw have you tried https://open-store.io/app/jotit.christianpauly?

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

                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:

                        @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.

                                  @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. 😢

                                      Would there be any terminal commands to try? 💭

                                        @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.

                                            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?

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