[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1999308] Re: Snap keeps uninstalling apt Firefox, and reinstalling snap Firefox
hi fellow ubuntu firefox users, it happened again and I see no harm in bumping this issue so here we are :) I already had a pref file for firefox without any real impact as far as I can see. I re-run the command "snap disable firefox" and changed from "Pin-Priority: -10" to "Pin-Priority: -1" as in herrsaalfelds' config but I only have faint hope ;) anyway: we shall overcome one day, I sure kind regards to all at canonical and all of you, fellow firefox friends cheers ! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1999308 Title: Snap keeps uninstalling apt Firefox, and reinstalling snap Firefox Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have looked on various forums including the search features of Launchpad, help.ubuntu..com, and Google for answers on this but not been able to.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1999308] Re: Snap keeps uninstalling apt Firefox, and reinstalling snap Firefox
I'm having the same problem on my work provided Ubuntu system and this behavior alone would have let me switched OS if I'd be allowed to. I exaggerate a bit :) I would like to ask You to provide a possibility to disable or exclude firefox as snap for good. For now I check for the installation type of firefox (snap or deb) and remove snap and the corresponding Ubuntu packages and install the PPA packages again. It was funny for a while but became tiresome quite quickly. dpkg -l | grep firefox ii firefox1:1snap1-0ubuntu2 amd64Transitional package - firefox -> firefox snap ii firefox-locale-de 1:1snap1-0ubuntu2 all Transitional package - firefox-locale-de -> firefox snap sudo snap remove firefox sudo apt --purge remove firefox firefox-locale-de sudo apt install firefox firefox-locale-de I also tried to give priority to the PPA packages as Gordon did and to disable Snap refresh in total because I became annoyed. sudo snap refresh --hold I don't want to rip out Snap as a whole b/c it is a work provided device but I am at loss why the installation of small applications like gnome- calculator or ksnip or firefox must be pushed as Snap.

Same problem here, chromium is not able to use kerberos ticket. I think, it is time to get back chromium as a deb package until snap is really working. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1849346 Title: [snap] kerberos GSSAPI no longer works after deb->snap transition Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I configure AuthServerWhitelist as documented: https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/http- authentication and can see my whitelisted domains in chrome://policy/ but websites that used to work with SPNEGO/GSSAPI/kerberos no longer work. I'm guessing the snap needs some sort of permission to use the kerberos ticket cache (or the plumbing to do so doesn't exist...). I can confirm that Chrome has the desired behavior.
