I am trying to remove an application from snap ... here is my initial condition
sudo snap install audacity # install
type audacity
audacity is hashed (/snap/bin/audacity)
snap list | grep audacity
audacity 2.4.1 675 latest/stable diddledan -
when I launch from a terminal
audacity
ln: failed to create symbolic link '/home/olga/snap/audacity/675/.config/gtk-2.0/gtkfilechooser.ini': File exists
.... more messages here
so it runs just fine however when I try to uninstall I get this error
sudo snap remove audacity
error: cannot perform the following tasks:
- Disconnect audacity:wayland from core:wayland (cannot update mount namespace of snap "audacity": cannot update preserved namespace of snap "audacity": cannot update snap namespace: invalid argument)
naturally I am tempted to force it by just removing these dirs
/snap/bin/audacity
/home/olga/snap/audacity
however I suspect there is a cleaner way ... sure would be gr8 if snap kept users like me on a short leash by emitting more useful error messages and/or behavior
