This snap contains the bits needed to support splash screen on UC. The expected usage is by staging it from the core20 snap. Ideally, all the moving parts will be eventually upstreamed and it will be possible to simply stage packages to the core snap instead of using this snap.
Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snapd can be installed from Manjaro’s Add/Remove Software application (Pamac), found in the launch menu. From the application, search for snapd, select the result, and click Apply.
Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:
sudo pacman -S snapd
Once installed, the systemd unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
To enable classic snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between /var/lib/snapd/snap and /snap:
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install splash20-core-test, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install splash20-core-test --edge
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
