Question

How to update snap-store .

I don't have Ubuntu advantage subscription.

Solution 1

Go to terminal and kill the snap-store process before installing/refreshing snap-store.

Find process to kill:

  $ ps aux | grep snap

  Find <process id> for the snap-store process, which looks like this

  ... <process id> ... ... /snap/snap-store/???/usr/bin/snap-store

Kill process:

  Kill the above found process id

  $ kill <process id>

Install/refresh snap-store:

   Close "Ubuntu software" gnome app if it open. 

   Refresh snap-store:

   $ sudo snap refresh snap-store

Had the same problem and fixed it this way.

Whish you good luck :-)

Thank you for feedback.

Have you run updates as suggested? I could see in Ubuntu SNAP being updated in the course of regular updates. Log into Live Patch.

that works on Ubuntu 22.04

"pkill snap-store" works fine as well

In which Ubuntu version is this? I can't find any "Ubuntu Update" software in 22.20, just Ubuntu Software

That was V20.04 when I posted; I set up 22.04 the same way.
