I’m running Ubuntu 24.04 and I’ve encountered some issues while trying to install applications using Snap. Here’s a summary of the problem:
I tried to install PhpStorm using apt and received the following message:
$ sudo apt install phpstorm
[sudo] password for amyr:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
No apt package "phpstorm", but there is a snap with that name.
Try "snap install phpstorm"
E: Unable to locate package phpstorm
Next, I attempted to install it via Snap:
$ snap install phpstorm
error: snap "phpstorm" not found
I then ran snap refresh and snap search phpstorm, and the output indicated that PhpStorm is available:
$ snap search phpstorm
Name Version Publisher Notes Summary
phpstorm 2024.2.1 jetbrains✓ classic PhpStorm
However, when I tried to install PhpStorm with:
$ sudo snap install phpstorm --classic
error: snap "phpstorm" not found
Interestingly, I was able to successfully install the hello-world snap!
My Snap setup is as follows:
snap 2.63.1+24.04
snapd 2.63.1+24.04
series 16
ubuntu 24.04
kernel 6.8.0-41-generic
It seems like there’s an issue with locating or accessing the PhpStorm snap and some other apps like Webstorm and... (which I tried to install from Snap Store too). Has anyone else encountered this problem or have any suggestions for resolving it?
Thanks in advance for your help!
SOLVED: It seems it was just a connection issue. I tried to turn on a VPN (Windscribe) and it worked.
