Snap is installed but can't install snaps

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 18:57:35.861701 zeppelin:address.c: ioctl ATM_GETESI: No such device
Oct 18 18:57:35.861817 zeppelin:main.c: Can't get ESI from kernel!
[andy@andy1 ~]$

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

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. :slightly_smiling_face:

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 :slightly_smiling_face:

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 :slight_smile:

Great news though! I will update now. Thanks!
