[Bug 1581713] Re: Ubuntu Software asks for an Ubuntu Single Sign-On account to remove a snap
Reasonable observation, but there is something that worries me. - It means my mother-in-law will have to create one SSO account if she wants to install/uninstall a snap package. Okay, this might be necessary sooner or later, I'm just thinking out loud. BTW: She doesn't speak English. Are these 'account' pages available in a good set of languages? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1581713 Title: Ubuntu Software asks for an Ubuntu Single Sign-On account to remove a snap To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/1581713/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1581713] Re: Ubuntu Software asks for an Ubuntu Single Sign-On account to remove a snap
Technically why this happens is gnome-software asks snapd to remove the snap. Since gnome-software is run as as user (i.e. not as root) it prompts gnome-software for authorization. The only method of getting authorization is to call 'snap login' which prompts for store credentials. What we actually want here is the equivalent of sudo. i.e. check if the user is an administrator and prompt them for their password. This would require snapd to have a "login-local" type concept that would return authorization without checking Ubuntu One credentials. I'll ask the Snappy team what their thoughts are on this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1581713 Title: Ubuntu Software asks for an Ubuntu Single Sign-On account to remove a snap To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/1581713/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This behavior is consistent with Ubuntu Software Centre. Canonical works with third-party software providers to provide payment and hosting for commericial software in the partner repository. In Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, this is being replaced by the Ubuntu App Store which powers the snap repository's backend. While the command line tools provide access to free-of-charge snaps without issue, the Ubuntu Software store uses Ubuntu One to handle payment processing and order history (so that previous purchases can be downloaded and installed on any number of systems that you own). So this is an implementation detail that matches the behavior of the software being replaced by Ubuntu Software. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1581713 Title: Ubuntu Software asks for an Ubuntu Single Sign-On account to remove a snap To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/1581713/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
