[15:28] <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?
[21:00] <sixwheeledbeast> joris: how did you install and remove ff
[21:08] <joris> sixwheeledbeast, I followed some tutorial. I am using mozilla ppa now
[21:25] <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. 
[21:26] <sixwheeledbeast> the menu item should be pointing to the correct place and available.
[21:27] <sixwheeledbeast> Have you tried making another user to see if its the same
[21:29] <joris> yeah I made another user to test
[21:30] <joris> It is also in the menu, but hidden, for some reason I need to select it
[21:33] <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
[21:34] <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
[21:35] <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
[21:36] <joris> ah yeah thanks
[21:36] <alkisg> That one solves the problem with the hidden firefox menu
[21:36] <joris> nice
[21:37] <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
[21:43] <joris> yeah... maybe mate with debian is the sane option in the future
[21:44] <joris> Going to log off, thanks again!
