** Description changed: - $ snap version - snap 2.42 - snapd 2.42 - series 16 - ubuntu 16.04 - kernel 4.15.0-15-generic + [Impact] - $ snap list chromium - Name Version Rev Tracking Publisher Notes - chromium 78.0.3904.70 920 stable canonical✓ - + Desktop files for snaps have the revision number in them for the Icon + desktop entry, e.g.: + ---> + % grep Icon /var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/firefox_firefox.desktop + Icon=/snap/firefox/7242/default256.png + <--- - After every upgrade which happens automatically with snap (which is great) launcher icon disappears and needed to be locked again after starting chromium after upgrade. + If the user makes a deep copy of that file, the icon will break once the + snap is updated enough that the revision at hand (7242) is evicted. + + Snapd however does set up the 'current' soft link, which points to the + currently active revision of a given snap, e.g.: + + % ls /snap/firefox/* -ld + drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 195 Okt 28 14:02 /snap/firefox/7180 + drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 201 Nov 4 16:09 /snap/firefox/7242 + lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Nov 5 15:42 /snap/firefox/current -> 7242 + + So we can simply replace the revision number by 'current' to fix this + issue. + + [Test plan] + + 0. Update Snapd to the version from the proposed pocket.[1] + + 1. Confirm that the desktop file for a snap no longer contains the + revision number for the Icon entry, but rather 'current'. In the example + above, that would be: + + ---> + % grep Icon /var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/firefox_firefox.desktop + Icon=/snap/firefox/current/default256.png + <--- + + 2. Make sure that the icon is still correctly displayed in your window + manager application's menu/panel, whatever that is. + + [Where things could go wrong] + + In the icon displaying for graphical snaps. Look out especially for a + generic icon instead of the application's icon; This should be accounted + for by step 2 of the test plan. + + [1]https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed
