Re: Manual update of snap/snapd and core/ubuntu-core

[Chris Wayne]

Hi Jenny,

>From the looks of it, your system has actually been updated automatically,
as your first email indicates you had core version 641, and now have core
714.  The reason you could not update to core on the edge channel to
version 870 is because that version has not been validated yet.

Does snap --version still show 2.18?  With core rev 714 (which your snap
list indicates you have installed) you should now be seeing 2.20.

Thanks
Chris

Re: Error using python3-gi dependency

[Chris Wayne]

Hi Sergio,

You could try having a wrapper set something like this:

export
GI_TYPELIB_PATH=$SNAP/usr/lib/girepository-1.0:$SNAP/usr/lib/$ARCH/girepository-1.0
where $ARCH is defined like this:

case "$SNAP_ARCH" in
"amd64") ARCH='x86_64-linux-gnu'
;;
"i386") ARCH='i386-linux-gnu'
;;
"arm64") ARCH='aarch64-linux-gnu'
;;
"armhf") ARCH='arm-linux-gnueabihf'
;;
*)
echo "Unsupported architecture: $SNAP_ARCH"
;;
esac

Hope that helps!

Thanks
Chris

There's really no standard way to build electron apps though

Re: Can not launch atom-cwayne.atom

[Chris Wayne]

Hi,

You'll need to install with --devmode, and it should work.  I need to
upload a new version to make that clearer.

Thanks
