Question

After updating to 0.7.1 I can't install or uninstall apps

lupalby opened this issue a year ago · 13 comments

I have used homebrew channel for more than a year without any problem. My TV is not rooted, I used the dev mode.

I recently realized that there was an update of the homebrew channel app and I did it from within the app itself. Everything seemed good until I realized that now I can't install or uninstall any application from inside the homebrew channel. No matter which app page I open, all update/install/uninstall buttons are not clickable, including for YouTube adfree that I have installed. I tried to restart the TV many times, including using the trick of refusing the condition agreement, and nothing changes.

Same issue, all buttons are greyed out and non-clickable.
Anyway - I installed youtube adfree using webOS Dev Manager directly.

Exactly the same here - version 0.7.1 no root/dev mode - Install/Launch/Uninstall all grayed out
Used Dev Manager on laptop to reinstall Homebrew and YouTube but still grayed out in WebOS app.

You have to press "5" on your remote to unlock those buttons for some reason.

Pressing 5 only enabled a "reinstall" option. Uninstall stays not clickable.

@lupalby @mareksipos93 What's the model of the TV? Without further information we couldn't reproduce that.

My TV is a OLED65A19LA.

For the others in my situation: a few days ago I noticed that the latest version of homebrew channel available is not 0.7.x anymore, but it's 0.6.3, so I used the trick of pressing 5 suggested above to do a reinstall, so now I practically rolled back to the old version and now the update/install/uninstall buttons are working again.

Mine is 55" LG 55QNED813

Answer 8 · 2024-11-16T11:19:23.000Z

Is that webOS 7/8? Since you're not having root, could you try uninstall and reinstall?

Answer 9 · 2024-11-16T11:22:15.000Z

I tried reinstalling in the past using my laptop but it didn't make any difference.
webOS version is 6.4.0-21 (kisscurl-kluane)

Thanks to the information you provided, I can reproduce this now. It will be fixed in the next release.

Answer 11 · 2024-11-16T16:35:37.000Z

Please update to v0.7.2 and let us know if it works!

Answer 12 · 2024-11-16T17:29:25.000Z

Thanks for the fix! Unfortunately the update doesn't show up in the homebrew channel, 0.6.3 still seems to be the latest.

Now the update shows up. I updated to 0.7.2 and now I see install/update/start/uninstall available as usual. Thanks!
