Well. I have an issue and I'm just gonna drop it here as a last ditch effort.
In my Mint Software Manager, I noticed that certain data won't come through.
Specifically the reviews are not displayed. All applications have 4.5 stars. No reviews whatsoever.
How could I fix this?
Can you confirm that you are connected to internet?
If you want people to help you, they'll need logs. To get them,
mintinstallin the terminal, then press EnterSend me that and I can give it a look. Can't promise much though, I'm not a Mint user. When you have Mint issues, consider asking in the Mint forum
Ashamed to admit. I've tried many things but a reboot was eventually the thing that worked.
Sorry for wasting time. I just booted this thing up to get the logs and it already worked.
In my 10mn of testing on the live .iso, I found that if the
reviews.jsonfile was missing it silently retried to download it.Once the file was downloaded, after a restart, the reviews were visible. But the download was interrupted if I closed the app before letting it finish.
I would guess this is why it appeared this time. You just gave it enough time to download the precedent time you ran the app. Not peak UX design. Can't be bothered to open an issue though :shrug:
