Back

@ppulfer I would say, that I consider this an upgrade... But the old store was equally as bad...
Tbh, the new store wouldn't be AS bad, if it had Flatpak integration.
As for your issue - maybe try and install clean 24.10 in a VM, look what's the package name and version is for the new store, and install it manually?

@leniwcowaty, I use both the Gnome Software (which I prefer) and the App Center (well not anymore lol).

Strange is, it is even gone from the actual Snap Store: https://snapcraft.io/store?q=App+Center

@ppulfer could it be taht they pulled it down...? Let me do a quick install of 24.10, I will check...

@leniwcowaty, I think I got it.

Symptom: After a recent update, the snap-store package channel swapped from `2/stable` to `latest/stable` (no idea why).

To get it back to the "new" store, simply type `snap refresh snap-store --channel=2/stable` into the command line.

@ppulfer ohhh, that's one of the "advantages" of Snap - the channels. And it just superbly shows, how messed up the channel management is in Snap... Why isn't "latest" the latest, eg. 2? That's stupid.
And some time ago it was the same with Docker - "latest" was outdated, 2 years old version, while the actual latest was a numbered channel. And since installation always defaults to latest...
Seriously, consider leaving Ubuntu for something like Mint

@leniwcowaty, also, this is scary:

`sudo snap refresh` says no update available for my snaps but once you install the App Center", there are suddenly updates? I did not expect packages to be dependent on the Snap Store
