Issue/Bug Description

I opened Pop Shop, switched to the Installed tab and clicked Calendar.

The description and What's New fields are difficult to read. Specifically, the font size is somewhat small and it's not a good font choice for reading paragraphs. It's a font that I would expect to be used in headers where there isn't as much of a readability concern.

There's a DBus service to uninstall apps, which is used by the elementary OS app launcher to support an Uninstall flow. We should see if we can use this in Pop!_OS with GNOME Shell to add an Uninstall entry to the right-click menu.

I know perfectly well Elementary OS apps aren't really designed for Pop! OS, but it would be nice to have those apps. They probably won't look too bad either.

I have downloaded some apps (Opera, Skype, Visual Studio Code), etc from their official website and installed using Eddy.
The problem is that these apps are not being showed in the Shop/Updates Tab, so i'm unable to uninstall them.
Is strange, because updates for some of these apps are being listed, but the applications are not being showed. so i cannot click in the application to uninstall it

Kate will be designing a banner for this. Cassidy and her will meet on Jan. 3 to discuss details and start planning.

Create a new Tab for installed apps would be great where we can uninstall the ones those we don't need any more.

Instead of a built-in dialog, we should use gnome-session-quit --reboot to trigger the reboot prompt. This has the advantage of using the Shell dialog plus having the countdown.

Ideally we could upstream this to either detect when to use it and fallback to a built-in dialog, or elementary OS would provide gnome-session-quit, but I don't know if that'll happen.

When installing numerous(>1) applications in the Pop!_Shop, selecting a program(viewing the description page), going back to a display of multiple programs(selecting the back button) and selecting to install the program that had just been selected, Pop!_Shop crashes.

As reported at pop-os/iso#99. Not sure if it's reproducible or if there's anything for us to actually do, but filing against the correct repo here.

Issue/Bug Description

Open Pop Shop and switch to the Installed tab.

Click one of the Addons listed like Gstreamer Multimedia Codecs or Terminal Plugin for Files

Pop Shop then takes 100% CPU and becomes unresponsive.

Pop!_OS 17.10 Beta (build 27)

Switch to the Updates tab.

Use the scrollbar to scroll down. The scrollbar stays at the top even though the content scrolls.

Right now replacing the banner is pretty dirty, as there are still calls to the presumed-to-exist previous banner. We should clean this up. For example, there's a FATAL error in Terminal when running:

[FATAL 11:34:55.352885] app_center_widgets_banner_go_to_first: assertion 'self != NULL' failed

pop-shop uses org.pop.shop but that naming style is meant to correspond with a reverse domain name. But you don't own https://www.pop.org/

Something like com.system76.pop.shop is better.

This will be a joint effort with our community. We have the categories but we want to include the community in the decisions of what applications should go within each category.

Version: Pop! OS 17.10 (just downloaded and installed yesterday)

Generic Gnome Software allows listing installed applications that can be selected and then grouped. By default System Utilities and LibreOffice are grouped.

Pop!_Shop doesn't include an option for listing and selecting installed software to do the same.

If it does include this, it is not obvious so maybe a button needs to be included along the top like it is in the Gnome Software package.

Pop!_Shop currently has the RDNN io.elementary.appcenter as its title that shows up in Shell (right-click its icon in the dock). This should probably be set to "Pop!_Shop". Upstream might be interested, too?

When launching the Pop!_Shop without an Internet connection, the following screen is displayed.

Selecting the "Network Settings..." button does not do anything.

I would expect the "Network" or "Wifi" page to open.

Issue/Bug Description

Thunderbird and Firefox are common programs and aren't currently found in Pop!_Shop

Search for these programs.

Be able to install these common internet programs.

Sometimes, there is an unusual looking icon to the left of the search box in the headerbar of Pop!_Shop.

I'm guessing it's a "something is happening in the background" indicator but it's difficult to understand that's what it means. The icon isn't clickable and it doesn't have a tooltip.

Doesn't make sense since we're not running an appstream redirect server

Pop!_OS 17.10 Beta (build 27)

In the Updates panel or when looking at a spec, the Search button can't be selected.

Suggestion: maybe it would be better if the search button would disappear if it's unusable in a particular mode.

Some Mice/Keyboards offer a back button (e.g. for going back in the browser and file managers, etc.). This should be supported in Pop_Shop too, since we have a generic back button action. Should be as simple as looking for that signal and tying it to the back button.

Now that we have this update badge

we should style it to be more Pop-y. Probably flat and brand red?

Honor user update choices. This should be considered in the context of the future use of Software and Updates. We have discussed removing it.

Think I finally fixed the packagekitd going nuts problem. I think there was a broken PPA, and as a result, the elementary app store kept trying to reload the PPA, like, several times per second, ongoing, in the background without end. That's why it was taking up so much CPU and draining so much battery. So, it appears, the elementary app store needs to recognize when something is broken and behave differently. I'll need to test it again, but unselecting the PPA from the additional software app and rebooting seems to have fixed the problem. Packagekitd isn't running anymore and battery consumption is normal....

If true, this validates my original sleuthing months ago when I suggested the Elementary App store might be to blame, where I read complaints years back of people having similar problems in Elementary Loki that was a "known bug."

Indeed. Posting the offending ppa in a bug will help us investigate as well.

So, here's how I was tipped off. I run Ubuntu Budgie on a desktop. Loading the Gnome software store there gave me an error message it couldn't do updates due to a broken PPA and asked me if I wanted to inactivate it. Thinking of Pop OS, I searched for broken PPA's and packagekitd and found a thread where people stopped the packagekitd PPA problem by turning off automatic updates. I went to my laptop and ran it until the packagekitd root process went nuts, then loaded the Pop Shop, and that promptly locked up trying to update, confirming my suspicion. The PPA, oddly enough, is the one I was using to load/run Nemo. It installs well enough, but I guess can't be acccessed? "http://ppa.launchpad.net/webup8team/nemo/ubuntu artful"

Per everyone. Rebrand at least the user-facing name (.desktop and any window titles) to Pop!_Shop.

So that searching for non-installed apps shows up in the shell overview. Example from GNOME Clocks https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-clocks/tree/src/search-provider.vala

Pop!_Shop

Issue/Bug Description

When I open Pop!_Shop! this message starts popping up and stacking up. If I use another workspace it pops up there. I can't use Pop!_Shop if I don't close them all. I can't close Pop!_Shop through the tab next to Activities. Also I cannot find one of the pop up messages and so cannot close them all.

I could get around this by rebooting or killing it through the terminal but I think this is not a behaviour we're looking for. Hence the post.

Here's the contents of the message:
" io.elementary.appcenter

Failed to Fetch Updates

E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/gregory-hainaut/pcsx2.official.ppa/ubuntu artful Release' does not have a Release file. W: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default. W: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details "

Steps to reproduce

Launch Pop!_Shop.

…the headerbar is much wider than it was previously. Are we ok with this? It seems super large.

This is likely caused by the addition of the updates badge in the headerbar, and should be fixable in CSS.

Issue/Bug Description
Hello, I just installed this OS. I ran an update using the Pop Shop utility. During the update, Debconf on pop-os appeared asking for the country of origin for my keyboard. I thought this was strange since I set it up at the beginning of the install. Anyway, I clicked forward, since it was the only option I had, and it froze that window. I had to force quit the window.

Steps to reproduce (if you know)
Using the Pop Shop to update? Currently using a Das Keyboard if that makes a difference.

Expected behaviour
Not to prompt for keyboard zoning.

Other Notes
Cool stuff! Great seeing this come out of Denver. Shout out from Kansas City!

While this may make sense to not allows the "updates" tab to searchable, the search field still remains but is unusable. My first reaction is to click into the search field to being typing, but clicking on the search field does nothing.

Ideally the search field would work and start a new search for the store. I would argue against removing the field when only on the updates tab as this would feel like an inconsistency in the UI.

Note: This appears to be related, but it seems that when I open shop I am frequently sent to the updates tab (pretty sure same issue as #14).
