Ubuntu snap: A quick try

[triplus]

I wanted to test the snap package update process and after your changes but it seems the snap package updates are not published yet?

Yes it needs manual ubuntu approval as it is requiring user home directory interfaces .
It shall come up within 1 day or 2 ...

@triplus: I just received a mail from ubuntu telling me that the update is online. So you might give it a try.

I can confirm the update works as advertised.

Thanks for the try ! And happy that it worked . Still need to wait for wmayer and ickby to make work the SMESH7 on windows to resync everything. I do not really know where to put the vagrant build instruction. I pushed for a PR, but without any success up to now (the code is dirty, but wanted to get feedbacks). Loved to see SMESH 7 moving forward.

Although I do not like these snaps, I gave it a try. The installation worked great (ubuntu 16.04). Running this version gave me some small errors. Maybe you can have a look:

Code: Select all

libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
Draft workbench activated
FreeCAD: gl.cpp:2354: const cc_glglue* cc_glglue_instance(int): Assertion `current_ctx && "Must have a current GL context when instantiating cc_glglue!! (Note: if you are using an old Mesa GL version, set the environment variable COIN_GL_NO_CURRENT_CONTEXT_CHECK to get around what may be a Mesa bug.)"' failed.

But I don't like this:

Code: Select all

>>> import numpy
>>> numpy.__file__
'/snap/freecad/4/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/numpy/__init__.pyc'

such a good solution.

Ps.: maybe you have a look at conda. It has similar features like snaps, but 1: has smaller app-sizes, 2: not every app is in it's own enviroment (instead one can create environments to run different versions, where dependencies are simple links), 3: works on linux/ mac / windows. So it's a different approach to solve a similar problem.

It looks like better desktop integration support just landed:

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback and sorry for the issue you are facing. the GL error are really strange to me. Are you running ubuntu Desktop ? Can you provide me the output of lsmod command ?
