That makes no sense. The bug listed shows the same device mounted to / and that spelling for in /var or whatever. And your system wouldn’t operate if / didn’t exist. I’m almost curious enough to go set up a VM to try to see what’s happening.

foggy@lemmy.world 4 months agoYes. I literally have a cron job to unmount and rename my root directory to / that runs every 12 hours.

My working solution is literally running a Cron .sh which is
Sudo snap disconnect Firefox:host-hunspell 2>/dev/null``` If Firefox updates via snap, it will change back to bullshit. Is the case in every 22.04 VM I have on my machine as well. This script effectively gives me "/" back, and unfucks the rest of my machine. It is a reason for me looking to leave Ubuntu after 12 years dedicated. Just because it makes no sense doesn't mean it isn't happening.

Man that’s well and truly fucked. I would be wanting to ditch Ubuntu also. What distros are you thinking about trying?
foggy@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Probably just go to Debian.

And how does that work? How do you unmount the root directory of a live system and invoke a script?
foggy@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Like that?

You are misinterpreting the information here. Neither Firefox nor Ubuntu are doing anything to your root directory. The behavior described and what you are undoing is that your storage device is being made available at two locations: both at / and at the hunspell path.

lsblk outputs that my NVMe0n1p1 is mounted at /var/snap/Firefox/common/host-hunspell.
