Enough was said about this being bad user experience, can I get a
suggestion of what a good one would be? Of course the constant of the
connection to the store being slow can't be wished away.
Is "Installing" the keyword that is throwing people off? If we instead
wrote
"=> Downloading the chromium snap and its dependencies"
would this be any better?
For the specific case this bug is about (error: snap "chromium" has
"install-snap" change in progress), I'm considering adding a notice
clarifying the situation and giving option for manual intervention.
echo "=> Snap installation is already in progress. You can wait
some more minutes, but it might be stuck, in which case you could try the
following:"
echo "1. Open a terminal."
echo "2. Enter 'snap changes', note the ID number of the stuck
operation."
echo "3. Enter 'sudo snap abort <id>', replacing '<id>' by the
ID number of the stuck operation."
echo "4. Enter 'sudo snap install chromium' and wait for it to
complete."
I'd be glad to hear your impressions on the subject.
