After Upgrade from 22.04 to 24.04 all updates and programs still seem to be stuck on 22.x including snap-store

I upgraded one of my systems from 22.x and now it shows it’s 24.04.
But it still looks like 22.x and the updates seem to be 22.x as well?
If I reinstall 24.04 fresh everything looks correct.
But I’d really like to avoid a fresh reload and reinstall of everything to correct this issue, as this machine is loaded with time consuming settings :slight_smile:

I’m newish to Linux in general, but been using it and learning more and more over the last 2 years or so.

Nope! Those repositories are deactivated. You get everything from 24.04. There’s no check in those boxes. :slight_smile:

OK then how do I update the snap store at least? It’s still the old store for sure.
Capture

Show me the output of snap info snap-store.

That tells me you’re on the latest version, which was released on 2024-09-22 in the latest/stable. You’re good to go!

Man I’m even more confused then…
Thanks for all your help so far :slight_smile:

Why does the machine that was on 22.x snap store look like this?

And a brand new loaded machine on 24.x snap store look like this?

That’s exactly what the new one looks like. The old one was based on gnome-software whereas the new one is rewritten in a new toolkit called Flutter, which is also in use on Android devices.

You have the correct version. It looks correct. :+1:

Interesting…
What’s odd is my new screen shot is on an old dell desktop I just installed 24.04 . Not android?
So how do I get the new store on my old upgraded system?

The 22.04 store was a .deb, not a snap, so it’s not easy without upgrading to 24.04. I’d recommend doing that anyhow.

Android has nothing to do with it, it’s just that Flutter is a toolkit used to develop applications that is used on both Android and Ubuntu (actually, it’s ubiquitous and can be used on multiple operating systems). Don’t read too much into Android and don’t let it confuse you, I was trying to explain why they look different.

It should automatically upgrade. If not, do a sudo snap refresh and it should just do it, or do it on next reboot.

Wow I’m SOO lost now… LOL
I thought it was upgraded to 24.04? That’s my whole confusion.
The system says 24.04 is installed (See first post pic on the right) and I did do the upgrade…

This is why I’m so lost, I upgraded from 22.x to 24.04, and it shows 24.04 is installed, but it still looks and feels like I’m stuck in 22 :wink:

Reread what I wrote. If it says it’s on 24.04, it’s on 24.04. The checkboxes have to be checked in order for it to be pulling from the older repositories. Snaps are independent of the repositories.

OK, so then how do I get the new store on my upgraded 24.04?

How do I upgrade?

You already upgraded the system to 24.04?

Yes, ignore the repository part of the screenshot, look to the right…
:slight_smile:

I stand corrected: 22.04 was a snap as well.

Try sudo snap refresh --channel 1/stable snap-store

still the same after that command :frowning:
And yeah it was closed when I ran the update and then reopened it to check and do the screen cap.

I’ve pulled what’s left of my hair out for a few days trying to fix this one myself heheh

*****EDIT: AND Apparently I hit the limit a new user can post, LOL
It won’t let me post for another 22 hours…
However No search results found on the upgraded machine…
Guess I will come back tomorrow night when I can post again lol

Search your application overview for “App Center”. That should be the right one.

I think 1/stable still holds the old store, try a:

sudo snap refresh --channel=2/stable snap-store

that should get you the new UI …
