mardymterry: hi! It's not clear to me, is there a workaround for bug 1673775, other than installing the app in devmode?13:44
ubot5bug 1673775 in unity8-desktop-session ""mir" and "unity8" snap interfaces are not available" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/167377513:44
mterrymardy: or installing the unity8-session snap and connecting the mir interface (it might autoconnect?)13:45
mterryBut I think for autoconnection, you have to install them in right order  :-/13:45
mardymterry: can I safely install the unity8-session snap, or will it have side-effects? Conflict with the deb in some way?13:46
mterrymardy: if you avoid installing the unity8-session-snap deb, there should be no side effects13:49
mterrymardy: just install the snap13:49
mardymterry: but I understood that the snap won't be updated that frequently, and that the focus is on the .deb?13:50
mterrymardy: uh we switch back and forth  :)  But you don't care how often the snap is installed -- you aren't going to use the snap.  You just want it installed and connected so that apps have the right apparmor permissions13:50
mterry*how often the snap is updated13:51
mardymterry: ah, now I got you: so I should uninstall the unity8-session-snap deb, but not the unity8 deb itself13:52
mterrymardy: you have the unity8-sessions-snap deb already installed?  It won't actively ruin your Mir testing.  But it does have a slight regression around causing the Terminal and Chromium to take a long time to launch13:53
mterrymardy: but you can fix your Mir snap by installing unity8-session snap but not the unity8-session-snap deb13:54
mardymterry: ah, I think I finally got you :-) Wow, so basically we have three ways of installing unity8? :-)13:55
mterrymardy: well two?  snap and deb -- but the unity8-session-snap deb is helper glue for snap to integrate into system14:04
mterrymardy: and you don't care about that glue right now, you just want a snapd connection14:05
mterrymardy: and that glue causes a slight regression for your normal unity7 session14:05
mterrySo I was saying just go without the glue for a bit14:05
mterryYou just want the snap installed for the mir connection14:05
mardymterry: all clear now, thanks a lot!14:06
mterryYeah sorry it's a bit of a mess right now  :-/14:10
