I did an in-place upgrade through the Settings app, from an up-to-date
20.10to21.04. almost everything came across exactly as expected (thanks!), and some small things needed to be re-configured (Gnome extensions. naturally..).during the setup, I did notice mention of some configuration being done with regards to "Snap" (I forget the exact message now). however I then discovered that not all of my Snap apps were opening. when MS Teams refused to open from the launcher, I dropped into terminal and discovered the following:
thereafter, I started checking all my other installed Snaps and found many of them were broken.
important note: all affected apps did launch correctly after removing and re-installing them. 👍🏼
Steps to reproduce (if you know):
not sure, I simply upgraded from
20.10to21.04with the provided tools.Expected behavior:
and I'm most definitely not expecting miracles here, this is a major in-place upgrade.... 🤔 I'm just noting that some Snap migrations didn't "Just Work ™️ ".
I'm pretty new to Snaps myself, but one point I did find interesting is that none of the
--classicSnaps seem to have been affected (i.e.: they worked). so perhaps these Snaps had post-install actions? I'm assuming that these would not have been re-run after the OS upgrade, hence the issues.Other Notes:
