Re: Published snap on candidate channel not found

[Peng Liu]

Hi XiaoGuo,

What could be the reason that I can not either find or install the snap I
published to the 16.04 store through web page?
https://myapps.developer.ubuntu.com/

Thanks.

snapcraft ros

[Bo Dong]

Hi,

I'm trying to pack ros with snapcraft. The source is under
/usr/share/doc/snapcraft-examples/examples/ros
My platform is Bubbelgum96, it's ARM64. But when "Fetching package
dependencies", it shows "Failed to fetch system dependencies: The Ubuntu
package "ros-indigo-ros-core" was not found"

Could anyone help?

Many Thanks

Sounds good Jamie, looking forward to the updates as the come up. When
snaps are automatically refreshed throughout the day will snapweb from
edge be updated?

This too is work in progress, as the —edge channel disclaimer implies. The team 
are looking to add more functionality to SnapWeb to expose the most common 
requirements for a web-based frontend on an IoT gateway-like device. This 
includes showing information about the device itself, any users that are 
associated with the device, software updates available, and to allow some 
settings to be changed. What your screenshot shows is the beginning of that 
work.

Keep an eye out for more changes and improvements to the project in the coming 
weeks/months.

snap of click webapps

[Fabio Colella]

Hello,
In the past I created some webapps for ubuntu, which are currently
published as click packages. Does currently exist a proper way to have them
packaged as snaps?

Having them as snaps should preserve things like being or not fullscreen,
allowing or not to display back and forward buttons, eventual user agent
overrides and all the other options that used to exist under the click
version.

Please, let me eventually know some bugs to track.

Yours sincerely,
Fabio Colella

Snapped apps using su/sudo

[Alberto Donato]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a snap for sshuttle, the ssh-based VPN app.
One of its components (the firewall manager) needs to either be run as
root, or use su/sudo to be able to configure firewall rules.

The app uses an "if os.getuid() != 0" to check whether it can run.

Is there any way to get it to work inside a snap?

Thanks,
-Alberto

snap interface for online accounts

[Peter Sasse]

Hi community, 

because my QML app got online account integration (as provider and
service), I would like to know, if there is already a snap interface
for this kind of integration (https://launchpad.net/online-accounts). 

Thanks for any kind of help!

This functionality is being worked on but the idea of SnapWeb is not to show 
you every single possible snap that can be installed (that would quickly get 
quiet unwieldily), instead we aim to surface the most prominent snaps. Think of 
it like a real bricks-and-mortar store; the snaps that are featured are right 
there in the store window for everyone to see, the most popular snaps per 
category are in their own sections, and the stuff that you knew up front you 
wanted but can’t find being displayed can always be retrieved from the 
warehouse. So mapping that to what we have in the SnapWeb edge channel today, 
the front store page should be [1] the featured snaps, at the top you can 
select categories like database, media, messaging [2] for the most popular 
snaps in that category, and if you know what you want you can use the search 
bar.

SnapWeb is being actively worked on so you will see lots of changes regularly. 
If you want to see the latest please:

  $ snap refresh —edge snapweb

or, on a system without snapweb

  $ snap install —edge snapweb

and file any bugs at https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapweb

Regards,
Jamie.

[1] “should be” - this functionality is currently being worked on and is very 
new.
[2] Snap Sections are again very new. We are still coming up with the right 
naming scheme and ensuring each snap is in the right place.

For long-term support I think 'core' will be aligned with the LTS
releases only.

For code like gstreamer I think it is plausible that there be a runtime
snap (see the experimental gnome runtime and similar efforts in the KDE
community) which is annual or more frequent than that.

However, given the move to delta updates I would suggest for the moment
that you simply bundle the libraries you need with your snap. This gives
you certainty in the short term, and the option to move to shared code
once the maintenance regime for that shared code is stable enough for
your purposes.

Mark
