ch applet.
<kyrofa> So you'd need to symlink both of those out of the snap?
<xan_IT> hi, can i ask noob question about snap packages inside ubuntu here?
<kyrofa> xan_IT, always :)
<bashfulrobot> kyrofa - yeah that is my concern (hacky). I don't want to do this "just to do it", but rather if it makes sense. And if it was a situation that the team had either looked at, or considered (glue code of sorts).
<kyrofa> bashfulrobot, are they found recursively? e.g. could you symlink a dir?
<kyrofa> bashfulrobot, I think it's interesting, snaps solve some of the problems you'd need to solve yourself otherwise
<kyrofa> bashfulrobot, it's probably going to come down to weighting the pros and cons there
<xan_IT> 1) snap packages are in sandbox area, true? so if i install same packages throught deb and snap, second will not overwrite first. true?
<kyrofa> bashfulrobot, might be worth a prototype
<bashfulrobot> yeah for sure.
<bashfulrobot> I could work towards one.
<xan_IT> 2) there is like https://packages.ubuntu.com/ for snap??
<kyrofa> xan_IT, you're mixing terminology a bit, but yeah: when you install a snap, it typically doesn't mess with any debs
<xan_IT> kyrofa what i mixing ? i want hunderstands :D
<kyrofa> bashfulrobot, you know where to find us if you run into interesting issues there
<bashfulrobot> xan_IT sandboxed yes, but if you use classic confinement, way more access (almost no confinement if I understand correctly)
<roadmr> xan_IT: https://uappexplorer.com/snaps has a list of available snaps
<bashfulrobot> xan_IT deb will not overwrite snap. snap is in a differnt location and a squashfs
<kyrofa> xan_IT, when you say "sandbox" you're mostly talking about confinement, but what you seem to be asking is: "will installing a snap interfere with a deb of the same thing"
<xan_IT> thz, so snap packages can access to all file system ?
<nacc> xan_IT: it depends on the confinement of the snap
<bashfulrobot> kyrofa - I just remembered. We did do sonme testing with symlinks....
<bashfulrobot>  I know if you symlink /usr/lib
