Ubuntu / UK. first, the Ubuntu App Center doesn't even know what went wrong. apparently, it doesn't happen oftenly. the issue happens due to the app being written in Flutter being stylized as a GTK app. next, Ubuntu 24.04 got a big open-vm-tools update. the open-vm-tool package was upgraded from v12.3.5 to v13.0.10, the same version Ubuntu 26.04 users get. then, Ubuntu 26.10 hits feature freeze. now, what does feature freeze mean? during the feature freeze period, Ubuntu developers stop introducing new features, packages, and API/ABI changes. they instead concentrate on fixing bugs in the current release in development.
