    [Post-Install] check install log and Snap issues

    I updated to the latest version. During the update, it complained about video drivers (which I was able to fix later) and something related to the Snap package, saying it couldn't make any changes to it. Question: How can I check the installation log (if there is one)? And how might the fact that it didn't make any changes to Snap affect me?

      You (or your system) can't make changes to snap.That's sort of the purpose of containers like snap. I suspect the error message was harmless but possibly an installed snap needed updating.

      sudo snap refresh

      will update all snap packages or open Discover and let it do it.

        If the snap is running, it can't be updated, called "refreshed". In my limited experience, this typically happens because firefox is running. A solution is to restart firefox.
