You can install snaps offline just fine: https://snapcraft.io/tutorials/snap-dow ... oad-a-snap
As snaps bundle most dependencies, it actually works much better than figuring out which deb packages an offline PC actually needs if the dependency graph is rather complex.

If you don't want flatpaks, this is a good opportunity to contribute and get those PPA builds up to speed.

Looks good. I'm always quite flexible about those requests.

This will land in latest/edge (and in latest/edge/toponaming) tomorrow.

Well, edge is pretty much "here be dragons" territory anyway. When we cherry pick those features into stable, we should evaluate each commit and decide whether it improved the usability. Could you create an issue on GitHub for this setting, please?

snaps don't seem to correctly pickup when you are using a dark system theme Yes, they will only pick up the dark theme if it's included in the snap gtk-common-themes because themes must be confined, too.

@Kunda1 Should this be set by default in the snap? Seems like a sensible choice to make the package more self-contained.

Fixes incoming: Set path to Gmsh exe automagically: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-snap/commit/1cc218070c4b8bc3fa4b361f3705ea8e8d3bb8e1 The /dev/shm issue has been solved by https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-snap/commit/d4257aff834901001edce5815586bf0b2fcd69a8 scipy: https://github.com/FreeCAD/...

The Gmsh missing the OCC features bug has been fixed. A second fix to prefill the file chooser with a snap-specific path has also been merged and will appear in edge tomorrow. For now, selecting /snap/freecad/current/usr/bin/gmsh as the path to Gmsh works.

Error : Gmsh requires OpenCASCADE to import shape That should be fixed soon: https://github.com/FreeCAD/freecad-deps-core20-snap/commit/b642cdbbe6beb7759e8433d29f6e378d063248bd A likely cause of this problem is '/dev/shm' is missing orread-only such that necessary semaphores cannot be written.

This should be fixed, and the build is going to land in edge in about two hours: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-snap ... 2502485343

The Realthunder snap needs to pull this fix, too.
