| croraf | For some reason I have kde-frameworks-5-core18 snap installed. What is this for, and can I remove it? | 00:20 |
|---|---|---|
| sarnold | croraf: snaps can depend upon each other, so it's possible that it is a required dependency of another snap you have installed | 00:26 |
| guiverc | croraf, likely you've added a snap that uses that framework; you'll lose the ability to run the snap that requires it | 00:26 |
| sarnold | croraf: I would hope snap would report the dependency if you try to remove it | 00:26 |
| croraf | sarnold, quiverc, thanks. I'm trying to get rid of snaps | 00:30 |
| croraf | everybody recommends not to use them, and I had problems with them couple of times already | 00:30 |
| sarnold | croraf: oh, sudo apt purge snapd should do it all in one go :) | 00:30 |
| croraf | sarnold, do you think i should not use snaps at all? | 00:31 |
| sarnold | croraf: I'm not particularly fussed either way; I find it useful to have eg youtube-dl updated on a different schedule than the rest of my OS, so I have that installed as a snap.. | 00:31 |
| sarnold | croraf: but if that's not a thing you care about, then go ahead and kill it | 00:32 |
| croraf | These are the only snaps that remain on my system https://pasteboard.co/JprBoh9.png sarnold | 00:32 |
| croraf | I'm not really sure if I can delete these | 00:33 |
| sarnold | gnome is the only question, I think; what desktop environment are you running? | 00:33 |
| croraf | The default Ubuntu 20.04 | 00:34 |
| croraf | Is that Unity | 00:34 |
| croraf | or how is it called | 00:34 |
| sonicwind | croraf, https://www.kevin-custer.com/blog/disabling-snaps-in-ubuntu-20-04/ might help... got it bookmarked | 00:34 |
| croraf | sonicwind, hehe :) | 00:35 |
| croraf | I can live with default snaps | 00:36 |
| croraf | I want my system to have as few modifications as possible from the default. | 00:36 |
| croraf | Cause I constantly have some issues, so I want the debugging to be easier. | 00:37 |
| sonicwind | I used to be like that until I became more familiar with Linux, and started keeping better notes of what I've done. | 00:37 |
| croraf | Oh, it says that I'm using Gnome | 00:38 |
| sonicwind | messing up is part of how you learn stuff :-D | 00:38 |
| sonicwind | yes default is gnome | 00:38 |
| croraf | ~$ echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP ubuntu:GNOME | 00:38 |
| croraf | sonicwind, but I think they did a change at 20.04 or 18.04 from GNOME to Unity or vice versa | 00:39 |
| croraf | ? | 00:39 |
| sonicwind | Unity to gnome | 00:39 |
| croraf | at 20.04? | 00:39 |
| sonicwind | 18.04 for the LTS | 00:40 |
| croraf | yes | 00:41 |
| Maik | croraf: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS was Gnome too, ubuntu 16.04 was the last LTS release with Unity. The 17.04 was the last interim/regular release with Unity. They switched to gnome since Ubuntu 17.10. | 01:26 |
