I am an Ubuntu user, and thought I’ve already installed lots of snap apps, I’ve never installed one that was just a .snap file. I’ve tried to install it on my system using various commands, but with no luck. sudo snap install obsidian_0.7.3_amd64.snap error: cannot find signatures with metadata f…

Yeah I had the same issue. Could the devs comment about why this is needed for the snap package? I am not familiar with the steps to publish a snap so I actually do not know. Is it a burdensome step to provide the needed signature?

The snap needs an associated assertion file .assert . If you don’t put obsidian in the Ubuntu “snap store”, then you must download and load the .assert file separately . I don’t know very much about assertions, so you’ll need to investigate. And make notes. With obsidian.

Much appreciated (though adding --dangerous went against all my principles!!) K :slight_smile:

from : https://snapcraft.io/docs/assertions An assertion is a digitally signed document that either verifies the validity of a process, as attested by the signer, or carries policy information, as formulated by the signer. so I guess --dangerous comment just ignores the validation part

If obsidian.snap is in your Downloads folder than run “sudo snap install ~/Downloads/obsidian_0.9.20.snap --dangerous” PS: Snap packages are buggy. It doesn’t open an existing folder as vault and when i search for the folder in home directory it doesn’t show up. Should move to appimages, I guess.

Thank you! Helpful. Sure would be nice to get this signed and listed on snapcraft.

Standard Notes is available in Snap Store, so would be nice to have Obsidian there. It could have a channel for stable releases, beta releases, edge releases an…
