maybe you need to add plugs: unity7 in snapcraft.yaml? (i don't know snaps stuff)

plugs:

• home
• removable-media
• x11
• desktop
• desktop-legacy
• gsettings
• opengl
• unity7

unity7: access to X, Unity services, a11y, input methods (ibus, fcitx, etc) and other legacy desktop methods

Thanks for the report.

I think you're probably right about adding the unity7 interface; whilst desktop and desktop-legacy overlap with it heavily, I think the HUD integration is probably unique to that interface and would hopefully fix your problem.

Whilst this should be the easiest thing to update in the world given it's just adding one line to the Snapcraft definition and running Snapcraft again, there's an issue currently building with the LXD backends due to some faulty configuration on Ubuntu's end, which means I won't be able to get around to it until that's sorted. Once it is, I'll ping back here when the updated version is live to see if it fixes the problem.

great./ there's no rush, take your time

Revision 2 with the unity7 interface should be live on the store now, hopefully it should fix the problem for you; it works on the testing I just did. You can hurry along the update with sudo snap refresh

yep, works fine now! THANKS
