Experimental features got disabled

snapd

I had the following experimental features enabled:

  • experimental.hidden-snap-folder
  • experimental.parallel-instances

Can’t remember if there are more, but those ones I just noticed.

I did re-enable it, but I’m just wondering if others encountered anything.

I checked if snapd refreshed, but it didn’t.

Hello, Would it be possible to provide steps to reproduce the behavior you are noticing?

Thanks!

I can’t unfortunately.

The only reason I noticed it was because Firefox failed to update because it was trying to move the data from ~/.snap/data to ~/snap.

Then that led me to check the other experimental flag I remember enabling, which is the parallel install.
