[01:42] <georgios>  hi. i have a problem with my snaps not loading properly at boot. it is like some of them dont see their /home stuff. i restart the application and then everything is as it should
[05:53] <mardy> georgios: hi! when you say "load propery at boot", do you mean to say that these snaps are services started by systemd?

[10:10] <georgios> mardy: ?
[10:13] <georgios> i meant when i am logging in, not at the actual boot time. for example firefox will behave as if i started it for the first time. then if i restart it, it will load the profile normally. same with Konversation. default behaviour after login, by custom behaviour after a restart of the application
[10:15] <georgios> ms teams seems to have the time to switch to its real environment, so it loads fine
[10:50] <mardy> georgios: if you don't reboot, but just logout and then login again, does firefox remember the previous activity?
[10:58] <georgios> i will try that
[11:01] <georgios> no, mardy, it doesn't
[11:01] <georgios> i hoped it had to do with not mounting early enough
[11:01] <georgios> now i have no idea
[11:01] <georgios> how about you?
[11:09] <mardy> georgios: are they snaps from the store, or taht you built yourself?
[11:10] <georgios> from  the store
[11:11] <georgios> kde seems to have a dedicated project for its snaps (the Konversation IRC client)
[11:11] <georgios> and no t only
[11:13] <georgios> firefoc snap is from mozilla
[11:13] <georgios> (i love snaps)
[11:13] <georgios> it was about time
[11:13] <mardy> georgios: do you have a firefox folder under $HOME/snap/ ?
[11:14] <georgios> i am old linux user and i was preaching about the need for years
[11:14] <georgios> yes
[11:15] <mardy> georgios: is there something special about your home folder or $HOME/snap? Like, for example, are they on a different partition, is there a bind mount, etc.?
[11:15] <mardy> maybe paste your /etc/fstab
[11:18] <georgios>  /var/lib/snapd/snaps/firefox_558.snap on /var/lib/snapd/snap/firefox/558 type squashfs (ro,nodev,relatime,x-gdu.hide)
[11:18] <georgios> fstab is clear
[11:18] <georgios> it is a btrfs subvolume though.......
[11:19] <mardy> georgios: I'm afraid I'm out of ideas on how to help you right now, but I highly advise you to file a bug in https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapd
[11:20] <mardy> because indeed it looks like a bug
[11:21] <mardy> ijohnson[m]: hi! I changed the code in the mount-control interface to check the FragmentPath of the systemd unit, and open it manually. It works on most distros, but not in 16.04.
[11:21] <mardy> For some reason, the FragmentPath there appears as: FragmentPath=/run/systemd/system/var-snap-test\x5cx2dsnapd\x5cx2dmount\x5cx2dcontrol-common-target.mount
[11:22] <mardy> whereas the real file path is /run/systemd/system/var-snap-test\x2dsnapd\x2dmount\x2dcontrol-common-target.mount
[11:24] <georgios> let me see
[11:26] <georgios>  /run/systemd/system/ is empty ...
[11:27]  * georgios goes check again the archwiki
[11:28] <mardy> georgios: no worries, the last few lines were not for you :-)
[11:28] <mardy> georgios: just please file a bug, giving as much information as possible
[11:31] <Karthik[m]> Hi, the python plugin ignores config files like .ini & .sh in staging area. How can we override this behavior ?
[11:34] <georgios> ok mardy. thanks for willling to help :)

[12:31] <mmm4m5m> Hi all. Skype does not work. It says "no device" for camera and audio. But this user is in "audio" group. "aplay -l" shows hardware devices. Pulseaudio is suspended.
[12:31] <mmm4m5m> On start there are errors: "Cannot access file /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf". But this file is present. The OS is debian buster, skype (8.74.0.152 rev.181), core18 (20210611).
[12:31] <mmm4m5m> I can't find solution in google... I also tried "snap connect skype:alsa :alsa" - and it shows error: snap "skype" has no plug named "alsa"
[12:48] <ogra> mmm4m5m, you might want to create a forum post about that ... there are likely more eyes watching ... 
[12:48] <ogra> (see the channel topic)
[12:49] <mmm4m5m> ogra: thank you
[13:56] <mvo> mardy: thanks so much for your review in 10577 - I pushed too small commits if you want to double check
[13:57] <ijohnson[m]> mardy: let me know how it goes with systemctl cat
[14:03] <mvo> ijohnson[m]: I'm looking at this early config issue now, it's confusing for sure
[14:08] <ijohnson[m]> yeah I couldn't figure out what the problem is, it seems almost like it's working but we need to adjust the spread test somehow ?
[14:20] <mardy> mvo: done, LGTM
[14:21] <mardy> ijohnson[m]: yes it works, thansk! :-) I'm just wondering if the cost of printing all of the units is something I should be worried about (performance wise, I mean)
[14:22] <mardy> some mount units even have a license at the top :-O

[16:27] <mardy> go question: I have a []bytes, and I'd like to read it line by line (like bufio.Scanner does). Is there anything ready for this? Of course, I can split the lines, but I'd like to avoid extra allocations

[16:28] <ijohnson[m]> mardy: you can make a io.Reader from a []byte with bytes.NewBuffer
[16:28] <ijohnson[m]> *bytes.Buffer is an io.Reader which is what bufio.Scanner uses
