Matching subscriptions: Ubuntu 16.04 Bugs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1574829 Title: snappy install requires root or login, but doesn't tell you so Status in Snappy: In Progress Status in snapd package in Ubuntu: New Status in snapd source package in Xenial: Fix Committed Bug description: A new user will try and run something similar to the following: $ snap install foo Only to be given this error message: "error: access denied" This isn't particularly friendly. They might then look at the help docs for the install command: $ snap install -h Usage: snap [OPTIONS] install [install-OPTIONS] <snap> The install command installs and activates the named snap in the system. Help Options: -h, --help Show this help message [install command options] --channel= Install from this channel instead of the device's default --devmode Install the snap with non-enforcing security ...which never mentions the fact that this command requires root. I think two things should be tweaked here: 1) The error message when root access is not available should be something much nicer, perhaps "Error: 'snap install' requires root access. Please re-run with 'sudo snap install <packagename>'." 2) The help docs for 'snap install' shold mention at the top that this command requires root.
