Title: Kernel does not Support Snap
Post by: swo on 2018/07/19, 09:54:21

Hi Guys,
This topic is mainly targeted to towo since he is the "Kernel Brewer".
Well I knew some time ago siduction-kernels supported snap format. But since introduction of 4.17 I think there is a Kernel-Module missing. With standard Debian Kernel i can mount snaps as expected. I dont know why it was removed but if it was just a mistake I think it would be nice if you (towo) would add snap support again.



[Addition] I think it may be removed here:

Code: [Select]

linux-siduction (4.17-7) unstable; urgency=medium
 
  * set ABI to towo.1
  * import patch-4.17.2
  * use kernelconfig from 4.17-rc3

I really don't know, what you speak about. What should snap be? In kernel, there is no filesystem called snap, so please elaborate what you are meaning exact.

I mean the snappy package system aka Ubuntu Core Snappy or "snapd"

snapd works fine with the latest kernel - please be more specific

Only a remark: THIS is not worth an upgrade warning - so i move this thread to software support

Yes snap works well with installed packages. But did you try:

Code: [Select]

snap refresh
With Debian Kernel everything works fine but with siduction kernel I get:

Code: [Select]

Fehler: cannot perform the following tasks:
- Mount snap "libreoffice" (71) ([start snap-libreoffice-71.mount] failed with exit status 1: Job for snap-libreoffice-71.mount failed.
See "systemctl status snap-libreoffice-71.mount" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
)
- Mount snap "gtk-common-themes" (319) ([start snap-gtk\x2dcommon\x2dthemes-319.mount] failed with exit status 1: Job for snap-gtk\x2dcommon\x2dthemes-319.mount failed.

For example

Code: [Select]

systemctl status snap-libreoffice-71.mount
leads to:

I don't know how others see this - but in my humble opinion we should not care about snap. This have very practical and pragmatic reasons:
* we don't want to support snap and flatpak at the same time
* flatpak works fine

At least I don't share your opinion  >:(

Nothing wrong with variety, even though I clearly prefer flatpak over snap.
Just tried:

Code: [Select]

snap refreshAnswer:

Code: [Select]
