Install Upower

The Upower snap is currently available from the Snap Store. At can be installed on any system that supports snaps but is only recommended on Ubuntu Core at the moment.

You can install the snap with the following command (replace 24 with the ubuntu core version you use):

snap install upower --channel=24/stable

All necessary plugs and slots will be automatically connected within the installation process. You can verify this with:

 snap connections upower

NOTE: The upower:bluez plug only gets connected when the bluez snap is installed too. Otherwise it stays disconnected.

Once the installation has successfully finished the Upower service is running in the background. You can check its current status with

snap services upower

Now you have Upower successfully installed.

Tracks and channels

The upower snap has currently 1 track, the track name will refer to the version of the base snap used.

• 24: Contains upstream 1.90.2 and has a core24 base. This is the default channel.

All these tracks are available with the usual risks: stable, candidate, beta, and edge, but only the stable version should be used for production devices. The meaning of the other risk levels is internal to the development team of the upower snap.
