[12:01] <chigong> can anyone think of any reasons hexchat on ubuntu 19.04 would (vanilla setup) not have write permissions for file transfers
[12:01] <lotuspsychje> chigong: are you using the hexchat snap pergaps?
[12:01] <lotuspsychje> *perhaps
[12:03] <chigong> yes i am
[12:03] <chigong> is that a likely issue
[12:03] <lotuspsychje> chigong: for snap problems you need to contact the maintainer of the snap, see also permissions on installed snaps in the software center
[12:04] <lotuspsychje> chigong: an alternative is to install hexchat from apt
[12:04] <lotuspsychje> aka: sudo apt install hexchat
[12:04] <chigong> i think ill run with that 
[12:04] <lotuspsychje> you see, its the users choice to install snaps or packages from the repos chigong 
[12:05] <chigong> you know that software center is it just a frontend for the commands sudo apt-get install hexchat
[12:05] <lotuspsychje> i'm aware of that yes
[12:05] <chigong> i dont known the difference 
[12:05] <lotuspsychje> but in the software centre there are 2 hexchats available, did you notice?
[12:05] <chigong> im asking for clarification im the one that doesnt know for sure
[12:06] <chigong> i did after u asked if was a snap 
[12:06] <lotuspsychje> ah you mean between the cli way and software center way
[12:06] <chigong> yeah
[12:06] <lotuspsychje> i see
[12:06] <lotuspsychje> you can choose chigong 
[12:07] <chigong> any pros cons or is it just a matter of preference same same
[12:07] <lotuspsychje> chigong: with apt, you can see whats happening better
[12:08] <chigong> cheers aye 
[12:08] <lotuspsychje> ; )
