Issues with updates - I am not able to update anything

#33

Open gedit, then paste it there and save it to a file. Gedit is the Text Editor.

#34

Hi Egrath,

Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, I am not able to open gedit. There is a name in applications, and it gives me an option to open it in app center, but app center is showing notification “sorry, there are no details for that application”. Before I had the same issue with Terminal application.

#35

Please disregard above message. I managed to open gedit. File is saved.
This is the output after executing commands:
irena@endless:~$ chmod +x ~/check.sh
irena@endless:~$ ~/check.sh
NOT FOUND: org.gnome.Solitaire/x86_64/eos3
irena@endless:~$

#36

OK this helps, please uninstall Solitaire with:

flatpak uninstall -y org.gnome.Solitaire/x86_64/eos3

Now reboot your computer and check if you can update your system.

#37

irena@endless:~$ flatpak uninstall -y org.gnome.Solitaire/x86_64/eos3

    ID                         Branch       Op
  1. [-] org.gnome.Solitaire eos3 r

Uninstall complete.
irena@endless:~$

Hi Egrath,

As you can see, I uninstalled Solitaire. I restarted my laptop as well. The app center is still shoving the same notification “remote” gnome not found, no plugin to get-updates.

#39

Hi Egrath,

Do you have any other scripts to try? I didn’t realize that this can be such a major issue.

#40

Hi Egrath

I hope you are ok. Do you have anything else I could try. Still no updates.

Regards,
Irena

Hi Irina,
sorry to tell you that i don’t know what else to try on your installation to get updates. There are some rare occasions when things like these occur and they are really hard to diagnose and fix. Personally, i would recommend you to wait if the problem fixes itself (yes this can happen) and if not, do a backup of your personal data and reinstall Endless OS.
Yours, Egon

@Irena_Ribic can you try following these steps:

  1. Open a Terminal window
  2. Execute this command:
wget -O eos-update-flatpak-repos https://raw.githubusercontent.com/endlessm/eos-boot-helper/T31079/eos-update-flatpak-repos
  1. Execute this command:
chmod +x eos-update-flatpak-repos
  1. Execute this command:
pkexec ./eos-update-flatpak-repos
  1. Enter your password, wait for the $ prompt to return, then reboot, using the menu in the bottom right, or with this command:
reboot

Hi @mwleeds

Thank you for the message. I executed all commands and this is what I got:

I will reboot now as well

#44

It still gives me the same notification "Sorry, something went wrong, remote “Gnome” not found.

#45

There’s a issue with step (4) from the commands @mwleeds provided. Please run this one instead:

pkexec ${HOME}/eos-update-flatpak-repos

Then, reboot.

OS never gets updated

@Irena_Ribic
Even if the commands @mwleeds posted look like his previous ones, he updated the file in question, so it’s different from the commands you entered previously.

I am rebooting now

Hi @mwleeds and @egrath,

It seems that this finally worked. The app center is showing 65 updates, just installing them. No more notification that remote gnome can’t be found. It will take some time… I will let you know if something goes wrong, but for now it is solved.

Thank you very much for the time and help :slight_smile:

Regards,
Irena
