[00:17] <mpontillo> how does `/snap/bin` get added to the $PATH? (I was just talking with someone who said they tried installing a snap on Focal, but it didn't show up in their $PATH.)

[01:44] <zyga> jdstrand: thank you for the review!
[01:45] <zyga> mpontillo: that's a lot of sad stories and black magic
[01:45] <zyga> mpontillo: PATH is sadly set in a plethora of places
[01:45] <zyga> mpontillo: or reset
[01:45] <zyga> mpontillo: please catch me next week for a complete answer
[01:45] <zyga> mpontillo: we try to do our best to set it everywhere that matters
[01:45] <zyga> mpontillo: we use environment generators, patch various startup scripts, patch sudo configs etc
[01:45] <zyga> mpontillo: it's not one spot
[01:46] <zyga> mpontillo: then there are bugs where some programs "just know" what the vanilla PATH is and that is lost
[01:49] <mpontillo> thanks zyga - have a good weekend!
[01:51] <zyga> mpontillo: in their case it is most likely they installed snapd and then installed the snap, /snap/bin will be on PATH after reboot - OR - that they expected an alias and /snap/bin was on path but did not contain the alias they expected
[01:51] * mpontillo yeah, I figured that it was probably some kind of install-order dependency
[01:52] <mpontillo> though I thought snapd was installed by default now, which in my mind would have prevented the issue
[01:54] <mpontillo> curiously enough, when I check my $PATH on Focal I see `/snap/bin` twice ;-)
[03:32] <guiverc> Not sure if this is the correct place, I've rebooted my 20.04 box & I can't enter any keystrokes into chromium-browser windows/tabs; closing & restarting it did nothing, it works perfectly via mouse, but ignores any keystrokes (telegram is a snap too, I can use keyboard there)

[12:32] <sdhd-sascha> Has anybody experience with github actions ?
[12:32] <sdhd-sascha> I try to build `snapd` with github and got this error: "https://github.com/sd-hd/snapd/runs/443747350?check_suite_focus=true"
[12:32] <sdhd-sascha> Runtime of the build and tests, was greater then five hours...

[13:13] <sdhd-sascha> Oooh ... the `q` param was missing from wget. I was sure i had added them
