| joris | Trying to setup a multiuser machine with mate. I had to remove firefox snap, because it does not work with nfs home directories. Now if a new user logs in firefox is not shown in the menu. I can fix this with editing the menu. Is there a way to fix this for all future users? | 15:28 |

| sixwheeledbeast | joris: how did you install and remove ff | 21:00 |
| joris | sixwheeledbeast, I followed some tutorial. I am using mozilla ppa now | 21:08 |
| sixwheeledbeast | AFAIK If you have removed the snap pinned it given priority to the mozilla ppa and installed from there. it should have replaced it correctly for every user. | 21:25 |
| sixwheeledbeast | the menu item should be pointing to the correct place and available. | 21:26 |
| sixwheeledbeast | Have you tried making another user to see if its the same | 21:27 |
| joris | yeah I made another user to test | 21:29 |
| joris | It is also in the menu, but hidden, for some reason I need to select it | 21:30 |
| alkisg | joris: https://ltsp.org/guides/snap/ | 21:33 |
| joris | After that it is visible, but a new user is never going to figure that out | 21:33 |
| alkisg | I specifically wrote that for snap and mate :) | 21:33 |
| joris | thanks alkisg | 21:33 |
| joris | going to check that out | 21:33 |
| alkisg | Not that if you have already uninstalled snap, some "ifs" may not execute, and you'd need to either reinstall snap and re-run the whole thing, or run them selectively | 21:34 |
| alkisg | The last if [ ! -e /var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/firefox_firefox.desktop ]; then is the one that takes care of the panel icon problem | 21:34 |
| joris | the last part is what I am looking for | 21:35 |
| alkisg | *Note | 21:35 |
| joris | that is going to be very helpful | 21:35 |
| alkisg | You'll also need the dpkg-divert line | 21:35 |
| joris | ah yeah thanks | 21:36 |
| alkisg | That one solves the problem with the hidden firefox menu | 21:36 |
| joris | nice | 21:36 |
| alkisg | It's a pity that snap has to be so invasive, to require patches in all desktop environments, instead of just using the PATH or something | 21:37 |
| joris | yeah... maybe mate with debian is the sane option in the future | 21:43 |
| joris | Going to log off, thanks again! | 21:44 |
| alkisg | 👍️ | 21:44 |
