#snapd

arg. Eigentlich wollte ich die freien Tage nutzen um mal updates zu machen. also mit einer VM angefangen. Aber mittendrin wurde das Netzwerk deaktiviert, konnte das Update aber über die Konsole fertig machen und rebooten. Nach dem Reboot waren alle Container weg. Danke snapd, hat einfach alles gelöscht. Zum Glück hab ich Backups also rausfinden was wiederhergestellt werden muss.

Nun läuft wieder alles.

Macht Backups und testet es auch.

My colleague Maciej is working on preparing #snapd for submission into #openSUSE Factory. There's a very long standing thread from security review at bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi and, after a few years, we believe we've provided all the changes that were originally requested.

Snapd is many things but one of the key properties is a strong desire to build an ecosystem founded on strong security principles. The path to the summit is long and winding but we make progress every day.

I am interested in backporting #snapd 2.71 back to #Debian Trixie. If you are a Debian user please respond and consider boosting this for wider reach.

Are you using packages from the backports repository?

I just released #snapd 2.71-1 into #Debian unstable. I will garden the BTS which has been somewhat neglected, apologies for that. I hope one day Debian will grow a basic web interface for bug tracking that does not involve sending email to make state changes.

The generation after me shuns IRC but I'm the generation that's definitely not in love with email. When I'm not on another planet that is light-minutes or light-years away, I want to use a synchronous interface.

Happy testing everyone!

Make peace with your brain...

While I am totally in favor of blocking and ignoring people, tonight I was blocked because I wrote that I would never touch anything that is made with #dotnet, #csharp and #mono... please, allow me to add also #electron... and what else? 🤔

friendica.myportal.social/disp…

Found it... I also actively avoid #flatpak and #snapd... 🙈

Feel free to block me right away, thanks! 👍

Some how I am very envious of the 60MB RAM footprint while booting into a #linode #vps. The best I could get onto my #homelab is 300MB usage on a #Ubuntu cloud image. This is unfortunately the same as my desktop #ArchLinux with #KDE running.

The Ubuntu server image idled at 600MB RAM usage with #docker & #sshd. The culprits using most ram are #snapd & #multipathd.

I've recently found a need for running #snapd in #Lubuntu, but I get broken menus and no right-click support in my snaps. Anyone know a fix for this? Searching I found nothing, but repeated in other machines with the same results on the 24.04 minimal install. In 22.04 they work as expected (but snaps were configured by default in this release).

For the third time in the last couple of months my work machine has automatically installed the Docker snap alongside my already installed Docker dpkg, causing various kinds of grief 😠

I’m starting to think that gremlins may be involved

If you're not interested in the meltdown in U.S. politics then do come along and see my super-cool #snapd integration test system where a number of snaps are smoke-tested on several different distributions. The whole thing is set up such that you can run the same tests locally and they are representative of what real users would see.

Am I the first person to do this on purpose?

I've opened a pull request that adds my simple virtual file system package to #snapd github.com/canonical/snapd/pul

If you are interested in how #VirtualFileSystems work and want to poke holes into my understanding, please be my guest.

Is @ubuntu 's #snapd dead yet? I'd like to return to using Ubuntu again. If they came to their senses.
