Hello,
Snap is successfully installed when I checked but when I try to even install the “hello world” snap it gives the following:
$ snap install hello-world
error: cannot perform the following tasks:
Mount snap “core” (11743) (systemctl command [start snap-core-11743.mount] failed with exit status 1: Job failed. See “journalctl -xe” for details.
)
Any idea what I should do? The dump from “journalctl -xe” was large, should I add that here too? Thanks for reading and thanks for any suggestions!
Hi @rebornosday ,
Could you run
journalctl -xeb | grep -i snap
?
This will help diagnose the problem

For snap to work, you have to activate the service. To do this, from the terminal:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
This will keep snap active between reboots. If you want to stop using snap, to deactivate it, from the terminal:
sudo systemctl disable --now snapd.socket
Thanks guys! Rafael I did try this before and I just tried it again and it produced the same error as I posted above.
@shivanandvp Here is the output:

check smart status of the hd maybe , just to rule out things ?
@shivanandvp I’m sorry not sure what happened but I ran your command again and realized I cut off some of the output. Here is the full output:

Sorry about the delay in responding: to install a snap, you have to use sudo. From the terminal, try:
sudo snap hello-word
Don’t use snapd.
Anyway, hello-world is not available on the stable channel:
error: snap "hello-word" is not available on stable but is available to install on the following
channels:
edge snap install --edge hello-word
Please be mindful pre-release channels may include features not completely tested or
implemented. Get more information with 'snap info hello-word'.
For more information on using snap, Arch Linux has a post on their Wiki:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Snap
@Rafael Thanks for the response but I get the same error. In my original post I was also using “snap” too. This all started when I tried to install the “Zeplin” snap from the software/update manager GUI. So I then went to terminal to try the normal things and got stuck on this error.
$ snap install --edge hello-word
error: cannot perform the following tasks:
- Mount snap "core" (11798) (systemctl command [start snap-core-11798.mount] failed with exit status 1: Job failed. See "journalctl -xe" for details.
)
I have a thread going on over at the Snap forum, he is saying Reborn isn’t configured like Arch so snapd is having issues finding the path?

what does ? :
sudo systemctl start snapd
sudo snap install hello-world
@ycom1 Thanks for the response. Snapd is already started, I tried both of these commands you are suggesting already too. The result of
sudo snap install hello-world
is in my initial post here at the top of this thread. I guess I should have highlighted it more.
But anyway, it seems there is an issue mounting due to a path configuration? I have no idea but on snapstore forum (please see my link to the post on snapstore forum above) the one guy mentioned this and I see that in my errors too

Snap is considered under Arch something like Wine under Linux, a construct
that is really not native and foreign. Snap is really not a thing in Arch.
There is a Symlink Problem in : “Mount path /snap/snapd/13170 is not canonical (contains a symlink)
”, but I found no solution to it yet.
Is there a way, you can find your app in Flatpak or Appimages, which are more native to Arch ?
That being said, I would pass over a message to you, if I should find a solution in the meantime.

Thanks for helping! The app is “Zeplin” and I only see it in Snap right now unfortunately. I need it for work and dual boot into windows now to access it.

now a step further I managed to install snap, then tested if snap service was running.
Still the program was not found , but here you need to restart after sanpd
install then the path info will be set at restart.
After that, I had a Zeppelin icon in my apps list.
Now there is some kind of problem remaining, maybe someone else understands:
[andy@andy1 ~]$ zeppelin

Oct 18 18:57:35.861817 zeppelin:main.c: Can't get ESI from kernel!

@Blisto is testing fixes for snap
already. Hopefully snap issues will be resolved soon

Yes we have found an issue that means snaps wont run properly in RebornOS, but a fix has been identified that is being looked in to.
@rebornosday A quick questionsif you don’t mind.
Have you ever enabled the symlink for classic snap support that a lot of Arch guides mention?
ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
Not that i want you to do it, just curious for when i tried to repro your exact error message.

Thanks ycom1 for looking into this for me but it seems you have tried “Zeppelin”? I actually need “Zeplin” Its a tool to import designs from Figma for developers. The icon should look like the one found here: https://zeplin.io/
Hey blisto yes I did run that command. I just checked in Terminal to see and here is what I had tried in sequential order before running that command:
sudo snap install snap-store
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
sudo systemctl is-active snapd.socket
sudo systemctl status snapd.socket
sudo systemctl is-enabled snapd.socket
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap

Oh you didn’t have to run the command haha. I should have been more clear.
A new update has been released for RebornOS that should make snaps work again. Tho a few things might have to be done to clean up the broken stuff.
Once you have updated your system can you can run these commands and post their output here
sudo snap --version
sudo snap debug paths
ls /snap

Oh no I’m saying I ran these commands days ago before your post. I just opened terminal up and looked in my history by pressing the up arrow key
Great news though! I will update now. Thanks!
