[Bug 1768448] Re: Don't use snaps for default system packages
I see. Well, then I will have to look for another distribution. I would strongly suggest that normal packages be managed system wide with a normal package manager. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1768448 Title: Don't use snaps for default system packages To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/1768448/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1768448] [NEW] Don't use snaps for default system packages
Public bug reported: In a fresh install, standard applications like gnome-calculator and gnome-system-monitor are installed as snaps. This results in a plethora of mounted loopback devices for basically nothing. Never mind the slow application startup times (seconds for gnome-system-monitor on a Ryzen 1700 with 32GB RAM and a Samsung EVO 960 on an M.2 interface). Removing the snaps and going back to deb packages, the performance issues go away. I can understand using snaps for third-party commercial software, but for the base system, the default debian package manager has served us well. I consider pushing snaps for default gnome applications a bug, and mismanagement of the system. This does not happen on an upgraded Ubuntu (from 16.04LTS). Snap is there, with no applications installed. That's how the default should be. $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.

[Bug 878198] Re: Difficult to grab window borders in unity-2d
I agree with Philip-hoflack... Same thing with Unity 3D (checked, I have compiz running not metacity). It's next to impossible to resize windows. Workarounds are fine and dandy, but if I give 12.04 LTS to my mother this isn't going to fly. (She's running 10.04 LTS, and I'm really really reluctant to move her to the new LTS) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/878198 Title: Difficult to grab window borders in unity-2d To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/878198/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 937937] Re: rhythmbox-metadata crashed with SIGSEGV in _start()
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 820601 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/820601 The original poster described two problems here. The crash (which may, or may not be a duplicate of #820601), which I will not judge. However, he also reported another poblem, namely that Rhythmbox duplicates entries in .local/share/ubuntuone/Purchased from Ubuntu One and ~/.ubuntuone/Purchased from Ubuntu. One is a symbolic link to the other. I never had a Rhythmbox crash, and I have these duplicates. I installed a 12.04 machine from scratch, activated my Ubuntu One account and got my purchased songs. Result: all purchased songs are duplicated in the database. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to rhythmbox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/937937 Title: rhythmbox-metadata crashed with SIGSEGV in _start() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/937937/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
