Public bug reported: No snaps appear to work with encrypted home. For example, even the 'hello' snap does not function: failed to create user data directory. errmsg: Permission denied
The error message appears to be a bit misleading, since the ~/snap/hello/1 directory tree is created, so the snap can access the home dir. Workaround: Install without encrypted home, if you do that snaps work properly. However, see this comment for a possible workaround: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snappy/+bug/1574556/comments/5 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: snapd 2.0.5 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-24.43-generic 4.4.10 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-24-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm nvidia_modeset nvidia ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.1 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Wed Jun 15 10:02:35 2016 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-01-01 (165 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Alpha amd64 (20151209) SourcePackage: snapd UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: snapd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug xenial -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1592696 Title: snaps dont work with encrypted home: failed to create user data directory. errmsg: Permission denied To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/1592696/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
