My latest statement could be called "harsh" I guess. Sorry for that but as really like Ubuntu things like this made me look for viable long-term alternatives (which I never considered since Dapper Drake until now). I wouldn't post here probably if I didn't care for Ubuntu so I'm going to stay with You for longer in hope the development will eventually fill the gaps.
That said mentioned lxd behaviour is just bad UX decision in my opinion. Either removing lxd snap should at least warn and allow manual cancelling further action altogether or just leave user data (in this case all created containers/storage pools) intact (still with ability to display a warning). It's totally different behaviour from regular server applications installed from deb packages that when removed just leave data in /var/lib or whereever they keep their data in (when we remove such package the dpkg just displays a warning about inability to delete dirs in ie. /var/lib/appname due to not being empty (rightfully so as it apparenly contain files that didn't came with the deb package in the first place so it's probably user data which should be treated with care). I still think snap is NOT ready product yet. I hope it will be in time for next LTS though. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1575053 Title: Please move the "$HOME/snap" directory to a less obtrusive location To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapd/+bug/1575053/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
