Program not work with snap.
by gardenair from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5DCF9)
hi,
I am using Debian 10 on my PC. I update my Debian and then try to install "GIMP" in it.For that I select https://snapcraft.io and apply the installation as given by them i.e https://snapcraft.io/install/gimp/debian#install
Everything done perfect but I am unable to see "GIMP" in "Graphic" head.Even restart it but unable to view
Code:root@debian:/home/test# sudo apt install snapd
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
snapd is already the newest version (2.37.4-1+b1).
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
libheif1 libmng1 libmypaint-1.3-0 libmypaint-common libwmf0.2-7
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.

root@debian:/home/test# sudo snap install core
snap "core" is already installed, see 'snap help refresh'
root@debian:/home/test# sudo snap install gimp
gimp 2.10.22 from Snapcrafters installed
root@debian:/home/test#I uninstall "GIMP" and use the command
Code:root@debian:/home/test# apt install gimpIt successfully install it and I can see and run it under "Graphics" head.
The thing is, by adopting the first method it do all thing smoothly but it not show "GIMP" where as by using apt install gimp it works fine. This is not with "GIMP" case I even try same thing with "VLC" it did same thing with it but with apt install vlc it works fine.
please guide me why software are not working/showing in the menu if i choose snap.
Thanks.
