IPFS snap not found #7

Closed Bugsbane closed 6 years ago

Bugsbane commented 7 years ago

Hi there, I'm sure this is probably something super basic and obvious, but this is my first time trying a snap, but I came across your blog post "Crowdtesting with the Ubuntu community: the case of IPFS" and thought I'd give it a try. When I run sudo snap install ipfs on my Kubuntu 16.10 machine though, I just get the error:

error: cannot install "ipfs": snap not found

...and I'm not sure why. Is there a snap equivalent of apt-get update I need to run first?

sudo snap install hello-world

...works just fine though.

Currently, I'm trying to drum up support in the Nextcloud community for adding IPFS to Nextcloud as an external storage source, so users can have their data backed up in a distributed, remote fashion (and add a ton of IPFS nodes around the world at the same time ;P )

Hello @Bugsbane,

I like the nextcloud idea very much. About your problem, I have no idea. This is what I see:

$ snap find ipfs Name Version Developer Notes Summary ipfs v0.4.7 elopio - global, versioned, peer-to-peer filesystem

Can you please tell me more about your system?

Try it on an non amd64 device. It will fail as there is no version for that architecture (like armhf)

come-maiz commented 7 years ago

@mkg20001 ah, right. I have only published the amd64 version. @Bugsbane are you in a different arch?

Travis only lets me build for amd64. I'm waiting for this bug to be solved, to be able to use the snapcraft.io builders for multiple architectures: https://github.com/canonical-ols/build.snapcraft.io/issues/527

I don't remember which machine I was using unfortunately. My main desktop is amd64, but my laptop is Intel. Is try on both, but unfortunately my main machine just started having hardware problems that are doing it from booting. When it's up again, I'll give it a try.

We are now building and releasing for amd64, armhf and arm64. I'm closing this one. Thanks for the report.

Bugsbane commented 6 years ago

For the record, it's working fine now on my (amd64) main machine. Thanks!

good to know @Bugsbane. I've recently moved 0.4.14 to candidate. Would you help us testing it?

sudo snap referesh ipfs --candidate
Bugsbane commented 6 years ago

What specifically would you like my help to test? Just the upgrade, or general usage? The upgrade worked fine, btw...

come-maiz commented 6 years ago

@Bugsbane just use it as you normally would, to see if you find something weird. Thanks!
