I am trying to install Solar2D on my Ubuntu laptop, using the snap file available on GitHub.
I have tried a couple of different builds, but I get this error message:
error: cannot find signatures with metadata for snap
"Solar2D-Linux-2023.3696_amd64.snap"
Using Ubuntu’s built-in Snap store “Ubuntu Software” I was able to find an older build of Solar2D, version 2022.3684
I am either missing something, or the Snap support is broken. This probably belongs on GitHub, but I thought I would check here first. Any input is appreciated.
Lovely, thanks! And I learned something new about Snap!
Two follow-up questions:
Is this documented anywhere that I could have found on my own? I am not talking about the Snap flag itself, I am talking about installation instructions for Solar2D
In the first releases of snap it was sudo snap install solar2d --classic and eventually the classic part of dropped. I would have to double check, but I’m honestly not sure whether --dangerous is required when installing from the snap store as oppose to installing directly from a local file. If it is required then it should definitely be noted.
You can open an issue on the Github repo to be noted for the next person going through the same thing.
The first thing I tried was to indeed open the file directly with the GUI and the “snap” store. That also failed. That’s when I switched to the command line to figure out what the problem was.
I will try to log the matter to GitHub, then. Or even make a merge request.
