I know that’s surely OT but I’ve lost about 45 min. searching on askubuntu without any useful result, so, sorry for asking in here something not budgie-strictly-related …
I manage a servers cluster - Ubuntu server Jammy - on which I run shibboleth-idp, jetty and apache2, nothing else; recently I’ve noticed that on boot snapd takes a while to start. from a
snap list
I get
Name Version Rev Tracking Publisher Notes
core20 20240227 2264 latest/stable canonical✓ base
lxd 5.0.3-d921d2e 28373 5.0/stable/… canonical✓ -
snapd 2.62 21465 latest/stable canonical✓ snapd
I suppose (but I am not so sure) that core20 is related to snapd; I don’t use containers on those servers, so no need of lxd and finally no need of snapd itself.
Following these thoughts, I’m quite sure I can remove snapd and every crap it takes with him, but I’d prefere being sure about complete safety of purging snapd: something like 2500 users per day uses shibboleth and in case of crash, they’ll kill me (obviously, since servers run on VMWare, before purging anything I’ll proceed to machine cloning, anyway).
Thanks
