can't update snap store because its running.
Please describe the issue you’re experiencing:
When the snap store has an update, it shows in updates, but it fails to update because gnome software is using it while trying to update it.
What Linux distribution are you using, and what kind of package (RPM, deb, flatpak, etc.) are you experiencing the problem with?
snap store/gnome software incompatibility
Please attach a log of the issue, by running the following commands, reproducing the issue, and then attaching gnome-software.log
here:
I just troubleshooted it, and I don't trust myself to remember next time it updates.
If the problem is with the user interface, please attach a screenshot or video of it. Please attach the file directly rather than linking to an external hosting service, as external files are likely to be deleted after a while.
I am on a fresh install of ubuntu - less than a week old, no extra snaps installed yet, only the 2nd bootup.
I can use a temporary workaround by using the terminal to kill the process specified in the notification (thus closing the gnome-software gui), and then running "snap reload" to get snap to update it directly instead of using a gui on top of a middle layer on top of snap to update it (it being the middle layer).
