[Bug 1661590] Re: GNOME Software only supports running one application from a snap

[Zygmunt Krynicki]

I just tried to reproduce the bug as outlined in the bug description. I
can confirm it is now fixed and working as expected. I'm marking the
snappy task as fix released.

[Bug 1661590] Re: GNOME Software only supports running one application from a snap

[Jeremy Bicha]

Simos, GNOME Software keeps running in the background. After updating
GNOME Software on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, you either need to log out and log
back in or run a command like:

pkill gnome-software

On Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, GNOME Software should recognize that it has been
updated and it will prompt you to restart the app so the above
workaround isn't needed.

I just tried again and now Software launches the correct command from the snap.
I do not remember for certain whether I closed Software with Ctrl+Q.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

[Robert Ancell]

I also tried this in a VM which didn't have libreoffice installed - it
launched the welcome window, not libreoffice base. I suspect Simos
hadn't restarted GNOME Software (which is confusing, but the way is
works). Marking as verified.

[James Henstridge]

@simosx: I gave this another test on a clean xenial VM with the same
gnome-software version as you.  Each time it launched the main
"libreoffice" command (showing a window asking to open recent files or
create a new document in one of the libreoffice applications).

gnome-software continues running when you close the window, so is it
possible you were still running the old version when you saw the
failure?

[Bug 1661590] Re: GNOME Software only supports running one application from a snap

[Simos Xenitellis ]

Hi!

On Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial) I enabled the `xenial-proposed` repository and
upgrade `gnome-software`.

$ apt policy gnome-software
gnome-software:
  Installed: 3.20.5-0ubuntu0.16.04.10
  Candidate: 3.20.5-0ubuntu0.16.04.10
  Version table:
 *** 3.20.5-0ubuntu0.16.04.10 400
400 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-proposed/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
 3.20.5-0ubuntu0.16.04.8 500
500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates/main amd64 Packages
 3.20.1+git20160420.1.ca63436.ubuntu-xenial-0ubuntu2 500
500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages

I launched `gnome-software` and located the `libreoffice` snap package.
I clicked on the Launch button.

WHAT HAPPENED: LibreOffice Base was launched (the wizard for Base to open a 
database).
When I do 'snap info libreoffice', libreoffice.base is the first in the list.

WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN: 
It should launch `libreoffice` instead.

[Brian Murray]

Hello Simos, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gnome-software into xenial-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-
software/3.20.5-0ubuntu0.16.04.10 in a few hours, and then in the
-proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-xenial to verification-done-xenial. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-xenial. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

[Bug 1661590] Re: GNOME Software only supports running one application from a snap

[Robert Ancell]

Can you open bugs against GNOME Software upstream and propose patches
there? In this case the patch to master will use snapd-glib and be
different (I just pushed support for desktop files to snapd-glib
master). You can backport changes either to the GNOME stable branch if
OK'd by upstream or to the wip/ubuntu-* branches (the former is
preferrable and then we can rebase the Ubuntu branches).

[Bug 1661590] Re: GNOME Software only supports running one application from a snap

[James Henstridge]

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.

[Robert Ancell]

The solution we ended up implementing to determine if an app is
graphical was in bug 1595023.

It would be much better to get an explicit mapping of apps to .desktop
files and use that.

[Bug 1661590] Re: GNOME Software only supports running one application from a snap

[Robert Ancell]

GNOME Software currently doesn't actually introspect anything from the
.snap directly. It uses snapd which I understand it is the desired
design of snapd (I like this).

So what I need is:
- API in snapd to explicitly map which app has which .desktop file and how to 
get the contents of them.
OR
- Confirmation on the correct method to get a .desktop file given an app name.

I think the API in snapd is the best method as this allows any changes
in the snap format to be handled in one place and works for all snap
clients.

I don't think we should assume that GNOME Software should run *anything*
from a snap unless there is a .desktop file for it. Lots of snaps will
not be appropriate to run in a GUI.

I should point out that there isn't a clear 1:1 mapping between desktop
files and apps, and that some of the things mentioned here would impose
this.

FWIW IMHO if gnome software needs to choose one app from a snap to run
because of its own limitations it should choose the default app, the one
that has the same name as the snap.

[Bug 1661590] Re: GNOME Software only supports running one application from a snap

[Gustavo Niemeyer]

More food for thought on the above note: the desktop file cannot call
the real underlying command by itself! That would break confinement. It
calls the confined binary under /snap/bin instead, which is what the
"command:" attribute specifies. So, necessarily respected.

@Mark: The command is not duplicated. The desktop file will call the
actual command defined in the snap.yaml. It may provide additional
arguments, but those will indeed be _in addition_ to the ones in
snap.yaml.

Robert: what do you actually need here?  We already support multiple
desktop files, and they already hold metadata. gnome-software can
already inspect to see which of these is available, I believe?  What are
the missing pieces?

Another side note: there's no special meaning to the order of commands
in snap.yaml. We can reorder it, and snapcraft can reorder it, so please
don't take it to mean something specific as that'll easily break.

[Bug 1661590] Re: GNOME Software only supports running one application from a snap

[Robert Ancell]

I would hope that snapcraft can be made to automatically populate the
apps data by detecting the .desktop files. In this case, the command
does seem redundant. If GNOME Software knew the .desktop file it would
use that information instead of the command.

[Bug 1661590] Re: GNOME Software only supports running one application from a snap

[Simos Xenitellis ]

A note here that when you run "snap info libreoffice", the order of the
commands actually changes every time you run it. I suppose that snapd
does not have the order of the commands as given in snapcraft.yaml.
That's what I get with snap 2.12

A workaround could be for Ubuntu Software to pick the shorter filename
(for LibreOffice, that would be "libreoffice", the wizard, which is what
is expected to run).

Re: [Bug 1661590] Re: GNOME Software only supports running one application from a snap

[Mark Shuttleworth]

OK, I'm +1 with that unless you have another suggestion. Could we put
the desktop file as an entry under the app command? I.e.

apps:
  foo:
desktop: path/to/file.desktop
command: bin/foo.py

One thing that seems awkward is the duplication of the command in the
desktop file and the apps stanza.

snapd currently doesn't (directly) expose the .desktop files, but if we
had those we could get a better experience.
