@CrazySky The Ubuntu developers added the potential fix to "proposed" (which is not enabled by default in Ubuntu) so that testers could opt in to get and test it.

[Bug 1672424] Re: Cannot install Debian files outside of the repositories
** Description changed: Impact -- It is not possible to use the default Software app to install .debs for packages that are not already available in Ubuntu. Test Case - 1. a. Download the .deb for a simple app for your version of Ubuntu directly from Launchpad. For 16.10, try https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-clocks/3.22.1-0ubuntu1/ Click amd64 then download the last .deb on that page. b. Open the .deb with gnome-software: gnome-software --local-filename=gnome-clocks_3.22.1-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb gnome-software should open to a page with an Install button for the package. This test case should already work. 2. a. Download a .deb that is not already in Ubuntu. It is important that the package not be available in your local apt cache. - For this, I made sure that I was not using the GNOME3 Staging PPA. As of today, switcheroo-control is not accepted into Ubuntu 17.04. - - So I downloaded - https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/ubuntu/gnome3-staging/+files - /switcheroo-control_1.1-0ubuntu0~zesty1_amd64.deb - - b. Open the .deb with gnome-software - gnome-software --local-filename=switcheroo-control_1.1-0ubuntu0~zesty1_amd64.deb - - I only suggested using switcheroo-control because I know it's not because the package isn't packaged correctly. Alternatively, this test case should also work with one of these: https://www.google.com/chrome/ https://itch.io/app + b. Open the .deb with gnome-software + gnome-software --local-filename=itch_23.2.1_amd64.deb + gnome-software should open to a page with an Install button for the package. + + Click Install and verify that the app is installed. What Happens The second test fails. On Ubuntu 17.04, I get a popup "Sorry this did not work The file is not supported" On Ubuntu 16.04 LTS or 16.10, I get "Sorry this did not work No file_to_app results to show" Regression Potential Original Bug Report --- .deb files fail to install from non repository locations i.e. The file manager gnome-software claims "this file type is not supported". Using dpkg from the command line works as expected so the files aren't corrupt. This happened last distribution as well when it was first released. Might be a regression caused by adding snap package capabilities to the software-center?

I didn't push the last change to master because I'm not sure of the correct solution there. The apt plugin is not upstream, so it doesn't make sense to set the management plugin to apt (should probably be packagekit?).

Found it - the .debs are loaded by GNOME Software but they are not marked with a "management plugin".

The reason this is not working is the gnome-software you are running is not the process that actually shows the package. You will already have gnome-software running so it just passes the string to the existing process. Since this process is probably running in your home directory it doesn't work on non-absolute paths unless you happen to be in your home dir. ** Summary changed: - Cannot install Debian files outside of the repositories + Installing .debs from the command line fails for non-absolute paths -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1672424 Title: Installing .debs from the command line fails for non-absolute paths To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/1672424/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I can confirm this issue is happening to me as well on Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 x64, under X or Wayland (I believe my machines have Ubuntu on SSD's). Any .deb I click on to install will bring up the GNOME Software window. When I click the "install" button, the button presses down/reacts to the click, but it never proceeds with the install.

Re: [Bug 1672424] Re: Cannot install Debian files outside of the repositories
Thats good info! Could this be fixed in by changing how gnome-software is invoked during local installs or would it need to be done within the program itself? Its not uncommon for a software (especially one run with root permissions) to need a full system path. It would also explain why the "~/" doesn't work as it is a built in alias for /home/$username <---which changes once the software starts.
