[Bug 1821523] Re: Installed snaps miss dependencies and permissions
You don't need to. snapd will pull in everything that is needed to run the snap. If it doesn't then the problem is with the snap. Perhaps the snapcraft.yaml doesn't specify the interfaces correctly for example. This is not a bug in GNOME Software. ** Changed in: gnome-software (Ubuntu) Status: Opinion => Invalid -- 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/1821523 Title: Installed snaps miss dependencies and permissions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/1821523/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

That snaps does not have dependencies is a nice theory, but as you said that some snaps use platform snaps and without them they do not work. So what should this relation be? The problem I see is that the software center does not provide the information, which snaps are required to run an installed snap. In the case of notepad++ I realized the dependency to wine only, because I analyzed the problem with the snap command. But software center does not give this information, nor does it solve the dependency. Also when starting notepad++ no information is given, that something is missing. It simply does not start. So the question I have is: How the casual user should recognize what is missing to run a snap? ** Changed in: gnome-software (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Opinion -- 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/1821523 Title: Installed snaps miss dependencies and permissions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/1821523/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1821523] Re: Installed snaps miss dependencies and permissions
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. Generally speaking snaps do not have dependencies as such, everything is bundled inside the snap. Some snaps use platform snaps to provide some core libs, but that's not relevant in this case. FWIW, I tested the notepad++ snap from Taqi Raza and it worked fine, all the interfaces connected as they should have done, and I was able to browse my home directory and open files. GNOME Software is not in the critical path for setting permissions, and so I have to assume that this is a problem with the snaps you were trying to install. You should contact the snap developers for support. You can find contact info on the store page, for example: https://snapcraft.io/notepad-plus-plus GNOME Software does have the ability to toggle interfaces on and off. Click the "Permissions" button from the application details page (next to Launch and Remove). ** Changed in: gnome-software (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- 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/1821523 Title: Installed snaps miss dependencies and permissions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/1821523/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

software-center does not provide snaps at all. This is either a problem with the snap itself, or with gnome-software. ** Package changed: software-center (Ubuntu) => gnome-software (Ubuntu) -- 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/1821523 Title: Installed snaps miss dependencies and permissions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/1821523/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
