Title:
gnome-software cannot install classic snaps if a channel is selected
Status in snap-store-desktop:
Fix Released
Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I tried installing Android Studio from gnome-software. In the top
right dropdown, it asks for the source. For Andoid Studio it displays
Ubuntu. I was suspicious of it being a deb and not a snap. So I
clicked on it and it shown me 3 Snap channel options. I selected
latest/stable. The source changed according to my selection. Then I
tried installing it but it failed saying:
Unable to install "Android Studio": snap "android-studio" requires
classic confinement
I was puzzled. So I went back to the search menu, I clicked again on
Android Studio and the source was now again on Ubuntu (note that this
is not an option available in the dropdown). I checked the details and
indeed it's the snap package from channel latest/stable, just the
source is somehow misleading. Now it installed the software without
issues.
What doesn't work:
- Source dropdown (top-right) shows "Ubuntu" instead of the snap channel
- Selecting a channel breaks the install functionality for classic snaps (it
seems like it attempts to install them without --classic)
Workaround:
Do not select any channel, just use what is provided, and it works. If
needing to use a different channel, use the command line (or perhaps check if
this works in the Snap Store, if it has not the same issue).
