zoom-client not updating, giving false info
Mikado59 opened this issue · comments
Hi, with Ubuntu 18.04, whenever i try to update zoom client and download it from the zoom homepage, open it with Ubuntu Software manager, it shows the correct version number in the software panel, but if i open it from there, it still falls back to the previous version. Only thing i could do is deinstallation and new installation; Being not an expert especially about snap, how can i work this out in command line?
I guess maybe there is a mix of packages, ones installed at the system level with APT/DPKG and other installed through the Snaps system.
Should deinstall the system one and use only Snap:
dpkg -l | grep zoom
If you see zoom packages installed there, put those packages in this command:
sudo apt remove zoomPackage1 zoomPackage2 etc...
That would leave only the version from the Snap.
the zoom snap is not downloadable from the zoom homepage. it is currently only installable either through the snap store or through snap install zoom-client with snaps you do not have to worry about updates at all, it will keep itself up to date
