Public bug reported: Users of Ubuntu WSL might be surprised by unexpected dependencies when dealing with snaps. The development team is looking for ways to let early adopters to experiment some snapd support in Kinetic, while still providing the most seamless experience for them. Tests done in WSL instances showed surprises that we should mitigate soon. Some examples are:
Sublime Text and Sublime Merge apps silently depend on libgl1. Flutter snap provides all dependencies, but apps compiled by Flutter requires libgl1, libegl1 and libgtk-3-0 present in the system. Besides those, LXD, missing on Kinetic, is a good support for cloud related use cases, which are a large share of our user base, and also can be a good source of telemetry usage information, alongside with snapd. One solution for this problem is seeding for Ubuntu WSL specifically: - libgl1 - libegl1 - libgtk-3-0 - lxd ** Affects: ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1989352 Title: [WSL] Prepare kinetic for common snap use cases Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Users of Ubuntu WSL might be surprised by unexpected dependencies when dealing with snaps.
