I've found the reason for this now. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapd/+bug/1677513 for a summary. In the end the problem is that XAUTHORITY refers to a xauth file in /tmp which isn't accessible within the snap environment. I will create a fix for this as part of my cross-distro work. regards, Simon -- Snapcraft mailing list Snapcraft@lists.snapcraft.io Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/snapcraft
