I can relate. - -Let me explain why it is happening and what you can do to ‘fix’ it. - -### Fixing the ‘pending update of Firefox snap’ problem - -Earlier, Firefox used to update in the background and then required you to restart the browser. It would not have let you [open any website until you restarted the browser][2]. - -![Firefox forced restart in the past][3] - -After switching the [Firefox browser to Snap packaging by default][4], the Ubuntu team made some changes to the update process. - -This notification is part of that ‘improved user experience.’ Here, Firefox is not stopping you from browsing anymore. It asks you to restart the browser at your convenience to update. - -But why does it keep showing the notification even after your restart the browser or the system? - -Because it’s a poor notification message that doesn’t give you the complete information. - -#### Firefox update hasn’t even begun - -When you see the ‘pending Firefox update’ you wrongly presume that the application has been updated in the background and restart will upgrade it to the newer version. - -That’s the case here. The snap packages in Ubuntu refresh (update) automatically once or a couple of times a day. To avoid disruption of work where Firefox doesn’t let you browse anything until you restart to install the updates, Ubuntu doesn’t even update the Firefox Snap package in the background. - -Instead, when the Snap package refresh takes place, **it shows the notification and expects you to close the browser immediately**so it can be updated with other Snap packages. - -But that’s not what users like you and me can do, right? See the notification, and close the browser immediately? Not very convenient. - -But when you get the time to close the browser, the Snap refresh is not taking place to update the browser. - -You can see that a newer Snap version of Firefox is available but it won’t be installed automatically as long as Firefox is running. - -![Firefox snap won’t be updated automatically if the browser is running][5] - -#### Updating Firefox Snap - -Here’s what you need to do to get rid of the update notification that keeps on appearing daily. - -* Close the Firefox browser -* Manually run the Snap refresh (update the installed snap packages) - -Make sure that your work in the Firefox browser is saved. Now, close all the Firefox browsers using your mouse or run this command in the terminal: - -``` -sudo killall firefox -``` - -Now that Firefox is not running anymore, update the Snap package(s): - -``` -sudo snap refresh -``` - -You’ll see that it starts downloading the newer Firefox package. - -![Firefox is being updated with Snap][6] - -Once the update is finished, you’ll see the summary that Firefox has been upgraded to a newer version. - -![Updated Firefox snap version][7] - -### Conclusion - -Installing a non-Snap version of Firefox could also be the solution here but not everyone can go down that road. - -Firefox and Snap developers must come together to improve this ambiguous update process. They should provide a better mechanism that doesn’t only show the notification on pending updates but also gives the option to start the update. - -This is one of the many weird things we have seen with Ubuntu recently. This must change to make Ubuntu a beginner-friendly distribution (again). - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -via: https://itsfoss.com/pending-update-firefox-ubuntu/ - -作者:[Abhishek Prakash][a] -选题:[lkxed][b] -译者:[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) -校对:[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) - -本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译,[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 - -[a]: https://itsfoss.com/ -[b]: https://github.com/lkxed -[1]: https://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/pending-update-firefox-ubuntu.png -[2]: https://news.itsfoss.com/mozilla-annoying-new-tab/ -[3]: https://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/firefox-restart.webp -[4]: https://news.itsfoss.com/ubuntu-firefox-snap-default/ -[5]: https://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/pending-Firefox-update-issue-Ubuntu.png -[6]: https://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/updating-firefox-snap-package-ubuntu.png -[7]: https://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/firefox-snap-update-ubuntu.png diff --git a/translated/tech/20220722 Fixing the -Pending Update of Firefox snap- Error in Ubuntu.md b/translated/tech/20220722 Fixing the -Pending Update of Firefox snap- Error in Ubuntu.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..f697251778 --- /dev/null +++ b/translated/tech/20220722 Fixing the -Pending Update of Firefox snap- Error in Ubuntu.md @@ -0,0 +1,115 @@ +[#]: subject: "Fixing the “Pending Update of Firefox snap” Error in Ubuntu" +[#]: via: "https://itsfoss.com/pending-update-firefox-ubuntu/" +[#]: author: "Abhishek Prakash https://itsfoss.com/" +[#]: collector: "lkxed" +[#]: translator: "geekpi" +[#]: reviewer: " " +[#]: publisher: " " +[#]: url: " " + +修复 Ubuntu 中的 “Pending Update of Firefox snap” 错误 +====== + +如果你使用的是 Ubuntu 22.04,你可能已收到此通知。 + +![Notification about pending Firefox app][1] + +它会通知你 Firefox 更新正在等待中,并要求你关闭应用以避免中断。 + +因此,就像一个听话的 Ubuntu 用户一样,你在保存或完成工作后关闭 Firefox 浏览器。 + +你认为 Firefox 已在后台更新,重启浏览器将运行较新版本。 + +只是,这里不是这样。 + +**即使在你重启浏览器甚至计算机后,它仍可能显示相同的 “pending update of Firefox” 通知**。 + +令人沮丧么?我可以联系起来。 + +让我解释一下为什么会发生这种情况,以及你可以做些什么来“修复”它。 + +### 修复 “pending update of Firefox snap” 问题 + +早些时候,Firefox 曾经在后台更新,然后要求你重启浏览器。它不会让你[在重启浏览器之前打开任何网站][2]。 + +![Firefox forced restart in the past][3] + +在将 [Firefox 浏览器切换为默认 Snap 打包][4]后,Ubuntu 团队对更新流程进行了一些改动。 + +此通知是“改进的用户体验”的一部分。在这里,Firefox 不再阻止你浏览。它要求你在方便时重新启动浏览器以进行更新。 + +但是为什么即使在你重新启动浏览器或系统后它仍然显示通知? + +因为这是一条糟糕的通知消息,无法为你提供完整的信息。 + +#### Firefox 更新还没有开始 + +当你看到 “pending Firefox update” 时,你错误地认为应用已在后台更新,重启会将其升级到较新的版本。 + +这就是这里的情况。 Ubuntu 中的 snap 包每天会自动刷新(更新)一次或几次。为了避免在重新启动安装更新之前 Firefox 不允许你浏览任何内容而导致工作中断,Ubuntu 甚至不会在后台更新 Firefox Snap 包。 + +相反,当 Snap 包刷新时,**它会显示通知并希望你立即关闭浏览器**以便可以使用其他 Snap 包进行更新。 + +但这不是像你我这样的用户能做到的,对吧?看到通知,立即关闭浏览器?不是很方便。 + +但是,当你有时间关闭浏览器时,不会进行 Snap 刷新来更新浏览器。 + +你可以看到更新的 Snap 版本的 Firefox 可用,但只要 Firefox 正在运行,它就不会自动安装。 + +![Firefox snap won’t be updated automatically if the browser is running][5] + +#### 更新 Firefox Snap + +这是你摆脱每天不断出现的更新通知所需要做的事情。 + +* 关闭 Firefox 浏览器 +* 手动运行 Snap 刷新(更新已安装的 snap 包) + +确保你在 Firefox 浏览器中的工作已保存。现在,使用鼠标关闭所有 Firefox 浏览器或在终端中运行以下命令: + +``` +sudo killall firefox +``` + +现在 Firefox 不再运行,更新 Snap 软件包: + +``` +sudo snap refresh +``` + +你会看到它开始下载更新的 Firefox 包。 + +![Firefox is being updated with Snap][6] + +更新完成后,你将看到 Firefox 已升级到更新版本的摘要。 + +![Updated Firefox snap version][7] + +### 总结 + +安装非 Snap 版本的 Firefox 也可能是解决方案,但不是每个人都可以走这条路。 + +Firefox 和 Snap 的开发人员必须齐心协力改进这个模棱两可的更新过程。他们应该提供更好的机制,不仅显示待处理更新的通知,还提供启动更新的选项。 + +这是我们最近在 Ubuntu 上看到的许多奇怪的事情之一。这必须改变以使 Ubuntu 成为一个对初学者友好的发行版(再次)。 + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://itsfoss.com/pending-update-firefox-ubuntu/ + +作者:[Abhishek Prakash][a] +选题:[lkxed][b] +译者:[geekpi](https://github.com/geekpi) +校对:[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译,[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://itsfoss.com/ +[b]: https://github.com/lkxed +[1]: https://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/pending-update-firefox-ubuntu.png +[2]: https://news.itsfoss.com/mozilla-annoying-new-tab/ +[3]: https://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/firefox-restart.webp +[4]: https://news.itsfoss.com/ubuntu-firefox-snap-default/ +[5]: https://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/pending-Firefox-update-issue-Ubuntu.png +[6]: https://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/updating-firefox-snap-package-ubuntu.png +[7]: https://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/firefox-snap-update-ubuntu.png
