I never got it to work in 20.04, so I don't know whether your fix ever made it in.
I have just installed Jammy Jellyfish (22.04), and can confirm snaps don't work in it when using autofs and nfs mounted home directories. The prior work around was just never use any snap applications, which was OK as nothing important was in snaps prior to 22.04. This is harder in 22.04 as firefox is distributed as a snap, and so firefox doesn't work in 22.04 if you have autofs NFS home directories. Work around is to use a different source for firefox, https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2022/04/install-firefox-deb- ubuntu-22-04/ but I don't know whether that will get security updates as quickly, so this is a serious problem. ** Also affects: firefox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1784774 Title: snapd is not autofs aware and fails with nfs home dir Status in snapd: Fix Released Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: New Status in snapd package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: This is similar to bugs 1662552 and 1782873. In 1782873, jdstrand asked me to open a new bug for this specific issue. In 1662552, snapd fails for nfs mounted home directories as network permissions are not enabled. A work around was implemented that works if the mount is done via a /home mount at boot. However this does not work if people mount home directories via autofs. This is probably the fundamental problem for 1782873 although there may be other issues. [ Why use autofs? If some but not all of users want to use nfs homes. In particular, I have a local user on all my accounts that does not require the nfs server to be up or the kerberos server to be up, or kerberos working on the client machines, etc. It is very useful when something goes wrong. It means I mount /home/user rather than /home (for several users). ] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapd/+bug/1784774/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
