Snap issues

Trying to install you tube music down loader using the “sudo snap install yt-music-downloader” and get a “snap warning”. It “installs” but does not open and is unusable. Where do I find this ‘warning’ and how do I resolve it and get the down loader to work?

Thank you

Is this the application you are talking about?

Location of YouTube Music Downloader snap

Are you actually using Ubuntu? You do not tell us what version you are using and what desktop environment is on it.

In situations like this it is better to contact the author.

So sorry, the version was posted above my post so I thought it displayed, guess it doesn’t. I’m using Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS.

I have edited your initial post to remove all the Help Template parts that you ignored.

The template is there to help you write a useful, understandable question. You are likely to get better, faster help if you use it.

Next time, please delete the parts you are not using so your actual post is clear and not-confusing.

Thanks, I’ll ask the publisher. :grin:

I am trying to find what the level of confinement is of the snap. If the confinement is listed a “Classical” it means that the application has full access to systems. That may be been the mesage in the warning.

Have you tried re-booting Ubuntu? That will sometimes put an absent icon the the “Show App” pages. Does the app launch from there?

Regards

The app icon appeared, but would not open. I removed it but plan to attempt to reinstall it.

Thank you sir, apologies.

You should be able to list it with the snap changes command (note though that snap logs clear after a few days so it will vanish) … with the listed ID you can then do snap change <ID> to get details about the warning … to clear a warning you can use the snap okay command (see snap help okayfor more info)

Classic confinement is only allowed for a very very small set of specific app categories like IDEs or editors, an app like this would never get classic confinement granted …
