I have Telegram Desktop, and every now and then the Update Telegram button appears at the bottom of the Telegram app GUI.
If I run apt-get update and apt-get upgrade nothing happens. There aren't any telegram packages in the list of packages.
If I click on the update bottom from the GUI, nothing happens and after a while the button pops up again.
How can I solve this? Can I update from a terminal?
In Ubuntu 18.04 and earlier open the terminal and type:
sudo apt install telegram-desktop
You don't have the Telegram snap package from the Ubuntu Software application installed. If you want to install the latest stable version of Telegram, the name of the snap package to install is telegram-desktop and the commands to install it are:
sudo apt install snapd
sudo snap install telegram-desktop
Telegram is a popular messaging protocol with encryption and security as its key focus. telegram-sergiusens is the latest version of Telegram, the same version as the Telegram file that is available at the official Telegram website. The command to update telegram-desktop is:
sudo snap refresh telegram-desktop
I have Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS. At first, I installed Telegram Desktop by typing
sudo apt-get install telegram-desktop
in the command-line but it installed a very old version and I couldn't update it.
Then I deleted it (sudo apt remove telegram-desktop) and installed it via snap again:
sudo snap install telegram-desktop
This command managed to install the latest version and it even makes it possible to update it via:
sudo snap refresh telegram-desktop
NOTE: if you don't have snap on your system, just install it before installing Telegram Desktop:
sudo apt-get install snapd
After you installed telegram using sudo apt install telegram-desktop command, you can easily update it by:
