i don't even want auto updates. i've already removed unattended- upgrades. i would hope there's some way to turn them off for snaps too. perhaps stop and disable snapd would do it. but that would of course need to be undone to update chromium. which is why i shouldn't need to disable snapd and snapd ought to exit by itself. in my opinion the removal of unattended-upgrades should by default also avert auto updates by snap.
fwiw i checked, and actually snapd does appear to be already installed as part of lubuntu-desktop. when i installed chromium-browser it didn't need to pull in anything else along with it. if i were to remove snapd now, along with it that would take out libsnapd-qt1 plasma-discover- backend-snap chromium-browser libpipewire-0.2-1 squashfs-tools xdg- desktop-portal* xdg-desktop-portal-kde. of those all i want is chromium, tho i only use chromium on rare occasions when firefox doesn't handle something properly. i may yet try to see if removing the lot of them would somehow cripple my system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1930995 Title: snapd too heavy for lubuntu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/1930995/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
