No snaps appearing in g-s in Y

[Will Cooke]

Searching for e.g. nmap or helloworld in g-s in Y returns no results.

Works for me :(

[Robert Ancell (robert-ancell)]

Can you check what version of snapd and gnome-software you have installed?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

That's booting a daily yakkety iso in a vm so current

[Iain Lane (laney)]

I can confirm this-

  - `snap find nmap' works
  - `gnome-software --search nmap' shows no results

With gnome-software 3.20.1+git20160617.1.0440874.ubuntu-xenial-0ubuntu2 and snapd 2.13+16.10.

After `pkill -f gnome-software; gnome-software --verbose --search nmap', I see the following

(gnome-software:2937): Gs-WARNING **: failed to call gs_plugin_refine on snappy: snapd returned status code 404: Not Found

And a final note to say that the search works on my real installed laptop.

Same problem on Ubuntu 16.04 updated today.

 - `snap find telegram' works
 - `gnome-software --search telegram' shows no results

It's the same for all the snap packages.

[Alessandro Viprati (vipri-alessandro)]

Tested again today, the problem seems solved with Ubuntu 16.04.
Ubuntu Software (aka gnome-software) finds again snap packages.

[Alessandro Viprati (vipri-alessandro)]

Problem still present in Yakkety

[Alessandro Viprati (vipri-alessandro)]

gnome-software now finds snap packages in yakkety. Problem solved, thanks.
