@catalyst
Oh lol, didn't think about that yes

So maybe in a coming update you'll have open-store, if not, i don't understand why to update the app if can't be installed.

Have been away for a few days but we are trying to get some links and info together for Focal testing in general. As Focal is still very Edge these need to be the right links. Will try and catch up over the next couple of days.

@catalyst My latest update today 327 has a working OpenStore. If you still can't get it try running through the installer again.

EDit: After a very quick check Morph works as does weather, phone dialler opens ( Ihave no sim), Teleports not working, Dekko working and Podphoenix opens. No time to test further now.

@lakotaubp I appear to be on Ubuntu 20.04 (r237). How do I get to 327? I ran through the installer again on the 0.9.7-beta version of the installer but the Open Store is still missing and no terminal app. Guess I will need to wait for the next software update?

[Lakotaubp]

@catalyst Looks like things have changed since I last checked. You need to be on Development and just check for updates and you should have Developer mode on.
I used the same installer and picked the 20.04 option from the hidden channels. There was only the one option then if there is more now just pick Devel as I can see RC and Stable in the device channel list on my 3a now they were not available on the installer when I did it. They still might not be haven't used it for a few weeks now.

[catalyst]

@lakotaubp Yep, devel was the only one available to pick from the installer for the 20.04 version. I've put developer mode on the phone and have checked for updates but it doesn't find any. I will just wait for the next update in the development channel and will hope its there. Many Thanks.

@catalyst If it was me I would put it through the installer again with wipe and bootsrape options. Something is not right if your not getting updates. The installer should give you the latest update anyway.

I just installed 327 and the image has no OpenStore. You must have installed it earlier. I tried downloading the arm64 architecture from the website and installing it with pkcon, but that failed, so I built it from source with clickable and now I also have a working OpenStore on my focal.

Did you choose the "focal arm64" ?
Could you explain for other user how to install with "pkcon" ?

[Lakotaubp]

@arubislander Trying to remember now if I just installed 20.04 over 16.04 which might explain why OpenStore was there but would not work till I updated yesterday (which was the first time in days). That would explain why Teleports is there but not in OpenStore. Still don't have the Terminal app though.

[arubislander]

@lakotaubp Ah... I did a clean install with wipe, since the last time I tried installing 20.04 it did not play well with installing without wipe.

[arubislander]

@keneda Yes, I downloaded the focal arm64 build of the OpenStore app and I used

pkcon --allow-untrusted install-local ~/Downloads/openstore.openstore-team_3.3.7_arm64.click

With me it gave me an error message at the end (not behind my laptop now, so cannot check the error), and did not install anything. But maybe someone else might have better luck

@arubislander
Oh ok, you used SSH right ?
Because no terminal app on the phone for now ?

[domubpkm]

No Terminal Focal built in the OpenStore yet.

[arubislander]

@keneda I used adb. Haven't tried ssh yet.

[arubislander]

@domubpkm Terminal for 20.04 has been built, but needs to be uploaded under the UBports namespace. This is being looked into in the coming days.

[catalyst]

I seem to have an additional issue where if I try to install an update it just takes me into recovery mode and doesn't apply the update. Only way to apply the update is through the ubports installer.

[Lakotaubp]

@catalyst Not on mine. It works the normal way except it nees to be conected to a power supply. This may be down to the fact I installed 20.04 over 16.04 (Not 100% on this but seems to explain a few things, my little grey cells ate ageing).

[arubislander]

@lakotaubp the battery issue is also present on a clean install of 20.04. so that at least is not due to having installed it over 16.04.

[Lakotaubp]

@arubislander Good to know. Thanks
