I downloaded Discord from discord.com (chose a .deb file), and installing ended up giving me both "Discord" and "Discord (Env)". Is there a way to get rid of "Discord (Env)"? Snap (which I suppose installs Discord when the .deb is double clicked) only shows 1 "discord".

As requested by N0rbert:

dpkg - l | grep discord returns:

I want to try a more recent image viewer, Eye Of Gnome (eog) version 4. My computer is running Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS which uses Gnome version 3.

I removed eog 3.36.3 using

I have an old Ubuntu machine that no longer works, but I can still access its drive through a live USB. None of the notes were ever exported; though, I was expecting to recover them by some other means. How do I do this? I see the Joplin app folder/files and that it was installed on the machine via snap.

I am trying to delete Spotify.

I ran sudo snap remove spotify, but it hung for a long time and I had to kill the command by sending it a SIGQUIT (Ctrl + \) since it didn't respond with a SIQINT (Ctrl + c)

I tried running the command again but its now in this weird stuck state where it says it's installed but cannot be removed.

Here is some diagnostic information:

I'm getting an error when I try to install kompozer through the Snap Store. Here is a screenshot of my issue:

I first tried installing kompozer via the terminal from a website, which appears to be a bad idea.

I never used snaps before. When reading the vague descriptions I assume it's implemented in a way really similar to containers.

This makes me assume that programs in snaps all use their own libraries. But because 'regular' programs use the default libs from the system I assume multiple libs will be loaded which will cost a lot of memory...

Is this indeed the case ?

Lets take CVE-2021-3448 as an example.

It's easy to see when the deb package got the backported fix, and what package is installed on the server.

But the same package in a snap:

I use several symlinks in my root directory usually pointing somewhere into /home directory. I can keep projects organized in directories, but I still have quick (terminal) access to them.

e.g.: /g -> /home/z/projects/kotlin/TheGame

But for snap applications, these symlinks are not visible.

Does exist any way how to globally add such symlinks (/bind mounts/another solution) to snap applications?

I have installed both Rider and dotnet-sdk with Snap, so that I can debug .NET projects. However, I now need to work on an older solution that runs on an older version of .NET.

Discord and qemu stopped working with this latest update. There seems to be a permissions problem with the snap user.

Is there any way to tell snapd to update later...it uses lots of bandwidth with out asking. The apps remain the same. Is there any config file or gui screen using which I can do this

So I just installed a fresh new system with Ubuntu 20.04.

After applying all the updates I opened the Ubuntu Software-store to see that I had a whole bunch of software already installed in the form of snap-packages.

Most of them comes from the source: ubuntu-focal-main, GNOME developers etc. However some packages like the "Print Settings" shows up as Source Unknown. What does this mean?

I had some applications installed via snap that were running perfectly until today.

When I started my computer I was not able to launch them.

These applications still show on my apps list but clicking on one doesn't launch it.

Also trying to start them via terminal results in a command not found error, even thought my shell suggests the command.

Another thing is that the applications still exist in
