Is there an existing issue for this?

Bug Description

It happened many times that the app centre is showing Chromium is ready to update with the "Quit to update", however, Chromium is not running?

And, there is no way I can run the update otherwise?

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Using Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS, having App Centre 1.0.0 and Chromium is currently at c.

The new Chromium, ready to update is at version 135.0.7049.114.

  1. Open app store and see the above attached screenshot.

Expected behavior

Chromium version 135.0.7049.84 (Official Build) snap (64-bit) is not running, therefore it should be possible to update it.

Ubuntu release

24.04 LTS

What architecture are you using?

amd64

I'm having the same exact issue with Visual Studio Code, "quit to update" except the app isn't open. I even manually went through the services and apps running in the background and found nothing related to VS Code. I did not install code via Snap, I installed it as a .deb which the app center then prompted the install, which may be related to the issue. For now, this worked:

ubuntu:~$ snap list | grep -i code
code                       848b80ae                        194    latest/stable    vscode**        classic
ubuntu:~$ sudo snap refresh code
error: cannot perform the following tasks:

ubuntu:~$ sudo snap remove code

ubuntu:~$ sudo snap install code --classic

I had the same for Visual Studio Code in my Ubuntu 24 App Center (version 1.0.0?).

I could just run

sudo snap refresh code

And it updated VSC to the latest snap version (from revision 207 to 211).
