Why doesn't Ubuntu Update SNAPs during reboot
I have found it necessary every time it is suggested that I reboot to issue the command "sudo snap refresh". If I do not do that then the various snaps will not be up to date. Since like many users...
Why are Snaps not downloaded in background when they become available?
My Ubuntu system just requested that I restart to apply changes. When I signed back in I opened a terminal and types "sudo snap refresh".
Why does an Ubuntu system restart not perform...

Snap Management Could be Improved
The implementation of SNAP packaging has some mildly annoying characteristics.

Gnome doesn't come up on 19-10
I got nowhere with a previous thread https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2436558 so I am trying again.

What does this message mean and does it have anything to do with GNOME failing to complete initialization on 19.10
I have finally got boot-repair installed and its report is at https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/jSkF7YcXW5/ I do not see anything obvious in this report that would suggest why GNOME does not complete...
