Problems with running snaps

[perrsona1234]

Via CLI:
With sudo snap install snaps are being installed properly & are working fine.
Via Bauh:
I can install & remove snaps, but the button to open them is grayed out for both NORMAL & ROOT users. It's grayed out for all snaps.

Honestly, I have no idea what kind of logs would be useful here.

@perrsona1234 , thank you for reporting the issue. No additional log is required. I'm going to have a look at the applications with the gray launch button and analyse why bauh is not allowing to launch them.

@perrsona1234 , I've just tested here and the button is enabled (green). Did you install drawing via bauh or using the command line ?

[vinifmor]

Does this directory (/var/lib/snapd/snap) exist on your system ? Or this one -> /snap ?

@perrsona1234 I've just published a possible fix on the staging branch. Could you give me a feedback if it fixes your issue ?

[perrsona1234]

So, the folders I have are:
/snap
/var/snap
/var/lib/snapd/snaps
~/snap

I was installing snaps both with bauh as NORMAL & ROOT users & sudo snap install command. All of them are working, when being run via snap run command. Also, all of them are inaccessible, when I try to run them with bauh, both as NORMAL & ROOT users.

So, I updated bauh to latest staging branch.
Did the usual:
bauh --reset
git clone https://github.com/vinifmor/bauh.git
cd bauh
git checkout staging
sudo pip3 install .

The good news is that snaps are now working, when being run from bauh as a ROOT user. The bad news is that, when I try to run bauh as a normal user - it crashes. Here is the log: https://pastebin.com/gpYAwu1x

Thank you for reporting this. I've just published a fix to the staging again. Could you give me a feedback if it works now ?

[perrsona1234]

So, I updated bauh again and now everything works. It still shows some error, but I am able to run snaps from bauh, both as a NORMAL & ROOT user.

Do You need more info?
Should I close the issue now?
Thanks for Your work.

Great. I believe this error is happening because of the files generated by the old version. Try to remove the following directories and let me know if the error still shows up:

• /tmp/bauh
• /tmp/bauh_root

[perrsona1234]

After deleting the two mentioned directiories, everything looks fine now.
bauh starts properly without any errors, both as a NORMAL & ROOT users.

For both, NORMAL & ROOT users:
flatpaks are installing & working
snaps are installing & working
appimages are installing & working
webapps are installing & working

Do You need any extra info?
Thank You!

Great. It's fine. Let this issue open for now. I'm going to publish 0.8.4 with these fixes soon and close it.
