[ubuntu] Installing snaps via GUI?

samedi 30 juillet 2016

Hi friends. For the first time I decided to check out some snaps just to see what all of the development buzz is about. I hit a snag and figured I'd ask after I found limited info about this particular error (found some, but nothing that lead me to a resolution).

The act of installing snaps as of now... is that strictly limited to terminal usage? I only ask because I did successfully install the VLC snap through terminal, where the system remotely retrieved the VLC snap through the command line and installed it. This worked, with exception to the fact I think the VLC snap has some issues (no file/edit/view/etc menus, plus clicking on the VLC icon from the system tray up top was blank).

I stumbled across the web UI for the snap store (uapp explorer, if I recall). I downloaded a few .snap files and figured, well, I would think I could double click them and install them. I hit a road block, though.

no file_to_app results to show

That's the error I get with each snap I double click. Software Center launches, it just yields that error immediately. It looked like the amount of snaps on uApp Explorer was larger than what I saw in the terminal output when running "snap find".

Just curious if anybody else has seen this, or if perhaps I'm jumping the gun a bit with installing the snaps via GUI and it's not yet a completed project.

p.s. 16.04.1, fully updated. Thanks for any insight!
