When a user double clicks in the downloads directory:
Current workarounds-
GUI: install the gnome software package manager and use that to install the deb
CLI: use dpkg
sudo dpkg -i ./chia-blockchain_2.3.0_amd64.deb
or use the apt package manager to install the debsudo apt install ./chia-blockchain_2.3.0_amd64.deb
NOTE - this is really not a workaround for the deb package as apt will actually install the apt package instead so one can just runsudo apt install chia-blockchain
without ever downloading the deb and have the same result.Originally posted by @BrandtH22 in #17956 (comment)
