Snaps in Discover

[jsbach]

I updated Manjaro KDE today (stable update, July 3, 2019). In the notes to that update, @philm wrote: "Some might noticed that since the #snapcraftsummit a lot of package changes went into Manjaro and our available RCs. XFCE and Gnome will come with Gnome-Software and our KDE edition has Discover, both with snap support enabled. This way everybody can easily access the snap store by a click and don't has to hassle to get snaps enabled. This enables us to ship even more proprietary software, which we couldn't before. For example check out on how you may install Spotify on Manjaro."

I installed Discover. In Discover, however, I only saw Flatpak apps (not Snaps). I then proceeded as explained in

Install Spotify on Manjaro Linux using the Snap Store | Snapcraft

That is,

sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap

I still only see Flatpak apps (not Snaps) in Discover. How can I install Snaps from Discover? Thank you.

Did you start the service? Is it running upon reboot?

Just off the top o' my head...

@c00ter

Did you start the service? Is it running upon reboot?

Yes, I did reboot the machine. I have

[cribari@darwin6 ~]$ systemctl status snapd.socket

I found this but it is from last year...can't blame @c00ter he's old and forgetful.

Why discover in manjaro don't have fwupd and snap plugins

The two-part, yeah, it is. When I install Arch from scratch, it is necessary to install the archlinux-keyring, which then checks and populates the signature database via pacman-key. But for the rest, I've never submitted a package to the AUR so I do not know. regards

[c00ter]

If you don't get a workaround in a while, JS, I'll install the relevant stuff in this Arch+Plasma and see...

Never mind. Sigh

Thanks, @anon20763909

[SOLVED] Solved by removing discover and installing discover-snap.

@michaldybczak had the info, I think(?)

Sounds you have it all solved but for future reference it is also covered in the wiki:
