*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1867610 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1867610 The same happens in Debian 10, so that's not Ubuntu-specific. Reproduction steps: 1. Download a .deb file, for example Jami from https://dl.jami.net/ring-manual/debian_10/jami-all_amd64.deb. 2. If you try to open it from your browser, it'll invoke the Archive Manager application, which isn't useful (it should really open the gnome-software application 3. If you choose to open it in the Gnome Software application, you get the message: "Failed to install: not supported". My Debian 10 VM is running amd64, and so is the .deb file linked above.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1872522] Re: Ubuntu software will not install .deb files on focal fossa
I can help complete his notes by adding details to this bug. The specific issue is that when downloading .deb files from an external source, i.e. www.chrome.com and you download the .deb to your computer and double click the completed file it will in fact not open in software to engage the software install process. I have found that double clicking invokes the action of opening the archive with archive manager and trying to "unzip" the file instead of install it. I have tried manually setting the file to "open with" "Ubuntu Software". I have found that installing with gdebi works and also by using dpkg -i via terminal. Thanks I hope this helps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1872522 Title: Ubuntu software will not install .deb files on focal fossa Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: On focal fossa Ubuntu software will not install .deb files (such as Google Chrome installer) however gdebi has no problem with the same files.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and help make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we cannot work on this bug because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read 'How to report bugs effectively' http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem. We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures. At a minimum, we need: 1. The specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem. 2. The behavior you expected. 3. The behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
