Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. Generally speaking snaps do not have dependencies as such, everything is bundled inside the snap. Some snaps use platform snaps to provide some core libs, but that's not relevant in this case. FWIW, I tested the notepad++ snap from Taqi Raza and it worked fine, all the interfaces connected as they should have done, and I was able to browse my home directory and open files.
GNOME Software is not in the critical path for setting permissions, and so I have to assume that this is a problem with the snaps you were trying to install. You should contact the snap developers for support. You can find contact info on the store page, for example: https://snapcraft.io/notepad-plus-plus GNOME Software does have the ability to toggle interfaces on and off. Click the "Permissions" button from the application details page (next to Launch and Remove). ** Changed in: gnome-software (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1821523 Title: Installed snaps miss dependencies and permissions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/1821523/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
