Hi All,
Before we start: Yes, I know. I shouldn’t have used snap instead of apt. It happened this one time, I wouldn’t do it again. I promise.
Now we have that out of the way, my question: How do I update my snap package from Kodi 20 to Kodi 21?
For those that want to know more, here’s the long version:
- Life is good: Kodi 20 (nexus) works well on ubuntu 23.
- I upgrade to ubuntu 24.04, as one does when a new LTS drops.
- To my horror Kodi 20 doesn’t work and fails on startup, A few clicks later on github I learn it is something with Python 3.12
- Luckily, Kodi 21 is released and that update would solve the issue.
- That’s where things really go south: Snap says: No update availabe.. and I can’t find a way to pull the latest kodi without destroying what I’ve built. no upgrade guide for snap users.
Another option I’m willing to go to is to migrate to a different install (docker, apt, you name it) but I have to take along all the settings and the library. I’ve got a pretty nice config going and I don’t want to have to start over from scratch.
Thanks for the help and advice. Feel free to make fun of me for using snap to install software. I was young and didn’t know better…
