Error installing musescore on ChromeOS

[michaelmcdonald]

The Chromebook Chrome OS 80 version nor the VM shouldn’t have to be touched in this case.
It is the version of Debian running within the VM that should be upgraded to Buster.

Anyway it’s 1am so will check in again in about 8 hours. Have fun !

I see … well, not really, but I trust that YOU see. Meanwhile I have no VM for the moment. The installation dialogue says “this may take a few minutes”, but just like last time, it’s more like a few hours.

It worked, though. I have Debian 10 now.

Uh oh…

Right, you showed me that before. I’ll report back.

[sisterfelicity]

sigh I’ve got to get out in the garden for a while. I have leeks and lettuce to plant… I’m trying snap hello-world again, I’ll let you know if it installs.

@ sisterfelicity I would suggest a little Linux specific testing here, could you please open a terminal in Debian Buster and type: locale [enter] and post the results.

@ sisterfelicity ogra’s suggestion to download directly and install - what were the results - I can’t seem to find them in the posts ?

@ ogra - you probably know EOF can occur in Linux scripts for a few reasons, I am not a SNAP dev but have come across this in bash scripting where double quotes need to be interchanged with single quotes. Here’s an info link:

I didn’t try it … You mean ijohnson’s suggestion? I’ll try it now.

@ijohnson

If you’re having network problems, you could try just downloading the snaps and then installing them manually with:

$ snap download core
$ snap ack core*.assert
$ snap install core*.snap
$ snap download musescore
$ snap ack musescore*.assert
$ snap install musescore*.snap

[michaelmcdonald]

@sisterfelicity - This is a simple test to see if Debian is able to find the snap store:

Please from a terminal in Debian: ping -c 20 snapcraft.io [enter], and post result…

@sisterfelicity

That’s good network connectivity and the base systems(Host Machine Chrome OS 80, VM, containerised OS - Debian Buster) are definitely in place and fundamentally seem to be working.

Can you now from terminal in Debian please try: snap install atom

I know this SNAP to work on my Linux (not Debian) and if not successful from here we will have to invite / some SNAP developers and look at SNAP daemon script syntax, and possibly specific to Debian.

@ogra

whats the full output of snap version … also try a more simple snap like htop …

Trying htop now. I’ll report back, but then it’s bedtime for me.
