For any and all divers out there, you might know that Linux was first created so that Linus could run his diving log app on it ;). Subsurface has since moved out of his maintainership but is still an active project with desktop and mobile versions.
It allows you to plan dives as well as download your dive logs from a broad spectrum of diving computers.
I spent the past few evenings snapping the newly released version (which is not available for bionic just yet) and it seems to be working well.
While the edge channel has the latest code from master:
snap install subsurface --edge
I don’t have my dive computer with me at the moment so can’t test that part right now, would love to hear your luck.
To use a Bluetooth connection to your computer, connect subsurface to bluez:
snap connect subsurface:bluez
To use a USB or serial connection, while we wait for [hotplug support](https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/hotplug-implementation-plan/4554), you'll need to use `devmode`:
You can now use Subsurface built with the core18 base, supporting Bluetooth Low Energy devices. devmodewill no longer be required for USB-connected computers. The next release (2.33, already in beta) of snapd will include that fix.
To try it all out:
snap refresh core --beta
snap install subsurface --candidate
snap connect subsurface:raw-usb # for USB computers
snap connect subsurface:bluez # for Bluetooth computers
