[00:20] For some reason I have kde-frameworks-5-core18 snap installed. What is this for, and can I remove it? [00:26] 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] 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] croraf: I would hope snap would report the dependency if you try to remove it [00:30] sarnold, quiverc, thanks. I'm trying to get rid of snaps [00:30] everybody recommends not to use them, and I had problems with them couple of times already [00:30] croraf: oh, sudo apt purge snapd should do it all in one go :) [00:31] sarnold, do you think i should not use snaps at all? [00:31] 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.. [00:32] croraf: but if that's not a thing you care about, then go ahead and kill it [00:32] These are the only snaps that remain on my system https://pasteboard.co/JprBoh9.png sarnold [00:33] I'm not really sure if I can delete these [00:33] gnome is the only question, I think; what desktop environment are you running? [00:34] The default Ubuntu 20.04 [00:34] Is that Unity [00:34] or how is it called [00:34] croraf, https://www.kevin-custer.com/blog/disabling-snaps-in-ubuntu-20-04/ might help... got it bookmarked [00:35] sonicwind, hehe :) [00:36] I can live with default snaps [00:36] I want my system to have as few modifications as possible from the default. [00:37] Cause I constantly have some issues, so I want the debugging to be easier. [00:37] I used to be like that until I became more familiar with Linux, and started keeping better notes of what I've done. [00:38] Oh, it says that I'm using Gnome [00:38] messing up is part of how you learn stuff :-D [00:38] yes default is gnome [00:38] ~$ echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP ubuntu:GNOME [00:39] sonicwind, but I think they did a change at 20.04 or 18.04 from GNOME to Unity or vice versa [00:39] ? [00:39] Unity to gnome [00:39] at 20.04? [00:40] 18.04 for the LTS [00:41] yes [01:26] 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. [02:58] good morning [05:54] good morning
