Snaps should automatically update in background once a day correct?
The answer is yes.
I have been investigating but I can't find which pattern use snap for the refresh interval. Looks like snap use a 4 times per day refresh event.
In my laptop:
$ snap refresh --time
timer: 00:00~24:00/4
last: today at 12:24 -03
next: today at 22:09 -03
This Ubuntu doc page is useless even on 18.04https://docs.ubuntu.com/core/en/reference/automatic-refreshes
And I found here https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/system-options/87 that I can set refresh intervals by snap package using this:
sudo snap set core refresh.timer=4:00-7:00,19:00-22:10
But my goal is this: If I decide to upgrade my system right now I want to check if there are snap packages to be refreshed in the same upgrade process. And your plasmoid and its config panel is the perfect place to trigger the full upgrade process. :smile:
Otherwise I need to write the sudo snap refresh
command when your the plasmoid upgrade has finished :crying_cat_face:
I might as well add full support for snaps and add the ones available to update to the plasmoid
I don't know how to list which packages are available to refresh like checkupdates
does.
I think it's sudo snap refresh --list
I hope i can do it without sudo
I have tested snap refresh --list
and sudo is not required. :+1:
Snap has the characteristic that if you ran snap refresh
(without arguments) the command opens a modal requiring authentication for sudo.
Yeah that'll be a really quick fix then
Question:
I sort the packages both regular and aur
Do you want the snap sorted to or to distinguish it as a snap somehow?
Can you post the output of snap refresh --list
?
I don't have any to test
snap refresh --list
Without pending refresh
All snaps up to date.
With available snaps for refresh:
Name Version Rev Publisher Notes
webstorm 2017.3.5 16 jetbrains classic
Thanks
Is there a way to see the current version?
Trying to have it the same format as checkupdates
I think we need to look up the "refreshable" snaps into the snap list
output to generate the same output format that checkupdates
has.

snap list
list all the installed snaps with the current version.
Another type of "upgrade": you can switch
the channel
for a snap and the refresh
is change the current snap to the switched channel, not only applies to upgrades. By example:
$ sudo snap install node --channel=10/stable --classic # install latest node v10 stable version
node (10/stable) 10.7.0 from 'nodesource' installed
$ sudo snap switch node --channel=8/stable # switch to the latest node LTS version
"node" switched to the "8/stable" channel
$ snap refresh --list
Name Version Rev Publisher Notes
node 8.11.3 732 nodesource classic
$ snap list
Name Version Rev Tracking Publisher Notes
node 10.7.0 885 8 nodesource classic
$ sudo snap refresh # applies the channel switching
node (8/stable) 8.11.3 from 'nodesource' refreshed
In this example the "checkupdates-snap
" output could be
node 10.7.0 -> 8.11.3
This is not a real upgrade, it's just pending refresh operation for channel switching.
It might just be easier to list all snaps installed then run refresh --list and just match the ones that have updated
I'll need to wait until a package can be downgraded to get full functionality
sorry for the wait
0396cdbb494b01cf490fe46015204e11ed308651 adds support for snap
master and AUR Package are updated
sorry it took so long
Add support for upgrade snaps (apps installed via https://snapcraft.io).
The command to upgrade snaps is
sudo snap refresh
and requiressnapd
package installed (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd).Could you add a check to append the
refresh
command to the upgrade process?Thanks!
