[Solved] How to ask for apps/snap.

#1 Post by keos »

Hello there,

I installed Debian 11 stable. I'm configuring it ...

How can I ask developers for to include these applications:

Brave Browser

SCID vs PC [Chess Gui]

YouTube-DL-GUI

Thanks.

Sorry but i don't see i understand ...

I'm looking for 'scid-vs-pc' not 'scid', and there is nothing at the synaptic like youtube-dl-gui just 'youtube-dl', not the GUI. I'm not able to find any Brave Browser at the packages of Debian site. (?). :?

Thanks.

I'm on Debian-11, these instructions are for Debian-10, are you sure it is going to be o'k?, adding repos ... some times could be ... that is why i'm asking for developers to ... if it is possible.

[this is not for scid but for Brave]

Maybe snap would be useful though it's frowned upon by some.
The copy commands must be done so the entries appear under Applications, whether they are installed using the snapstore or using the terminal.

Code: Select all

# apt install snapd
After doing that, restart your session as detailed here and proceed with:

Code: Select all

# snap install core
# snap install snap-store
# cp /var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/snap-store_snap-store.desktop /usr/share/applications/
# snap install brave
# cp /var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/brave_brave.desktop /usr/share/applications/
For information about the snap version of the chess application take a look at:

Code: Select all

# snap info scidvspc-hkvc
And if it is what you are looking for do:

Code: Select all

# snap install --edge scidvspc-hkvc
# snap install youtube-dl
By the way, in the mate desktop, scid appears in the menu under Accessories.
If you decide to uninstall such applications remove the menu items then just do, for example:

Code: Select all

# cd /usr/share/applications && rm brave_brave.desktop
DebianStable

Code: Select all

$ vrms

No non-free or contrib packages installed on debian!  rms would be proud.

First of all I would like to know if these are the repos that I must have:

Code: Select all

Looks like Snap will be the way to go.
If you install gnome-software gnome-software-plugin-snap gnome-software-plugin-flatpak flatpak snapd
you will have a GUI that you can use to search snaps, flatpaks, and apps in the Debian repos.

Try this setup for your Debian repos:

Code: Select all

# Bullseye https://www.debian.org/releases/bullseye/amd64/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html

In other words, you are asking me to just add these repos below, to my present sourcelist, is it not so?:

Code: Select all

 

deb https://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye main contrib non-free

deb https://deb.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main contrib non-free

Your sources.list file is identical to mine.
For the snap chess thing, if you use it remember to do:

Code: Select all

# cp /var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/scidvspc-hkvc_scidvspc-hkvc.desktop /usr/share/applications/
DebianStable

Code: Select all

$ vrms

No non-free or contrib packages installed on debian!  rms would be proud.

You don't need contrib non-free for snap. If you can do without them then don't modify your present file.

@ kedaha,

Thanks for recomend me to keep my present sourcelist. :)

Do you know if Flatpak :| would be of the same utility that SNAP :? for my case ...?

I thank you for all your previous information. :!:

I understand ...

Either way, I've been observing both and Snap is the one with more applications.

But as almost always happens to me with these additional programs,

the problems begin:

Code: Select all

[keos@keos-inspiron3583:~$ sudo snap install core
error: cannot communicate with server: Post "http://localhost/v2/snaps/core": dial unix /run/snapd.socket: connect: no such file or directory
keos@keos-inspiron3583:~$ /code]

Because the system is installed in Spanish some directories and their paths might be renamed to Spanish.
Use the command ls to list the directory contents.
What does does this show?

Code: Select all

# ls /var/lib/snapd/
Install the following:

Code: Select all

# apt install mlocate
Now run this (may take a few moments):

Code: Select all

# updatedb
Now issue, for example, this command:

Code: Select all

# locate snap-store_snap-store.desktop
And post the output to this and the first command in your reply, please.
On my system it shows:

Code: Select all

/usr/share/applications/snap-store_snap-store.desktop
/var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/snap-store_snap-store.desktop
DebianStable

Code: Select all

$ vrms

No non-free or contrib packages installed on debian!  rms would be proud.
