Snaps are also used to ship proprietary software - just as proprietary debs also exist. I found these following links from the store listing: You're mistaken if you think this is what is going on.

> If they don't want to continue making auditable builds for this package then that's fine. Running stuff from the command line is a pain, thus why, at least in my use, it's limited to graphical desktop stuff that I'd anyway run by clicking on an icon.

I also like the fact that the applications and their files are isolated in their respective directories, which makes purging unused stuff easy, as opposed to traditionally packaged software pooping all over my home directory. I also recently ran into a situation where a particular application wasn't feasibly packageable by the distribution because of unorthodox dependecy choices (and their own, rather strict rules related to packaging), yet they made a flatpak available. Sandboxing is cool but I mostly do this because the flatpaks are always up to date with respect to upstream, instead of locked into a particular version like in the system repos. It's for graphical desktop applications, "apps", basically stuff like Firefox, Libreoffice etc. >launch failed: The following errors occurred:įirst off, do yourself a favor and avoid snap like plague. Open my own powershell window copy command it. Now its back to the 5 mins of "Starting primary". OK let's try stopping this mystery thing that is apparently running. I don't see anything? Let's try the shell again.open a powershell window which instantly closes itself? Back to staring at my wallpaper. Right click on menu again.says "Start primary" is Running. Staring at empty (windows) desktop again. No idea what that means but I guess it did uhm something. Click on that it starts a powershell window that says "Starting primary" for 5 mins.

Check windows notification area.ah three copies running silently now.

See the multipass documentation for more details.Hoping for canonical's sake I've just got a broken install, cause the UX is somewhere between nonexistent and useless. You might for example want those guests to be on the same bridge to communicate to each other or you need access to the graphical output for some reason.įortunately it is possible to integrate this by using the libvirt backend of multipass $ sudo multipass set local.driver=libvirtĪfter that when you start a guest you can also access it via tools like virt-manager or virsh $ multipass launch ubuntu You might have other virtualization already based on libvirt either through using the similar older uvtool already or through the common virt-manager.
