I put together a gnome-software patch to use the extra info from mvo's snapd change:
https://code.launchpad.net/~jamesh/gnome-software/+git/gnome- software/+ref/pick-launch-app It still only supports running one application, but it now favours apps that provide a desktop file, and the snap's main app as a tie breaker. For Libreoffice, this reliably picks the main "libreoffice" binary. It also launches the app via the desktop file if available, so we don't have to guess whether it needs a terminal in that case. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1661590 Title: GNOME Software only supports running one application from a snap Status in Snappy: In Progress Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: HOW TO REPRODUCE: 1. Install LibreOffice snap ('nonfree' tag) from Ubuntu Software. 2. Click on the 'Launch' button once you have it installed. WHAT IS EXPECTED: It should launch the LibreOffice wizard instead of any of Writer, Calc, etc. WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS: It launches LibreOffice Database. WHY THIS HAPPENS? Ubuntu Software probably picks the first listed command (libreoffice.base), as shown in $ snap info libreoffice name: libreoffice summary: "LibreOffice is a powerful office suite including word processing and creation of spreadsheets, slideshows and databases" publisher: canonical description: | LibreOffice is a powerful office suite – its clean interface and feature-rich tools help you unleash your creativity and enhance your productivity.
