Issues with updates - I am not able to update anything

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:

irena@endless:~$ chmod +x eos-update-flatpak-repos
irena@endless:~$ pkexec ./eos-update-flatpak-repos
Error executing ./eos-update-flatpak-repos: No such file or directory
irena@endless:~$

I will reboot now as well

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

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.

@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.

Hi,

I just executed the commands - results are:

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
