I have the hello snap, notes and core installed on my computer and all of them work fine.
$ snap list
Name Version Rev Developer Notes
core 16.04.1 714 canonical -
hello 2.10 20 canonical -
notes 0.9.0~gitb6e3b34 4 notes-developers -
When the hello snap is installed, the core snap is installed along with it if core is not already installed. Try updating the core snap:
sudo snap refresh core
If core is already installed the following message will be shown:
snap "core" has no updates available
Your results of running sudo snap refresh core
were as follows:
sudo snap refresh core error: cannot refresh "core": cannot find snap "core"
So uninstall the core snap and then reinstall it.
sudo snap remove core hello
sudo snap install hello # core will also be installed automatically
Hello is a terminal app that runs like this.
$ hello
Hello, world!
The installation of snaps goes perfectly well, but whenever I try to run a snap after the installation nothing happens (e.g. Notes won’t start from the dash). Also non-GUI snaps like hello
don’t work:
$ hello
cannot locate the core snap: No such file or directory
How could I fix this problem?

I did:
sudo snap install core
And that did the trick. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

This indicates that you don’t have the core
snap installed (or broken). You can first check if its installed by
snap list
If it already exists, you can refresh the snap.
snap refresh core
If you face an error like
snap "core" has no updates available
You can remove
and again install
it. Or, you can do a little trick
snap refresh core --edge
And then, when the problem is fixed, switch it back to stable branch
snap refresh core --stable

Hi.
I’m trying to install League of Legends via snap but get this error message:
$ sudo snap install leagueoflegends --edge
error: cannot perform the following tasks:
- Mount snap "leagueoflegends" (35) (cannot find required base "core18")
I cloned the core18 git, but can’t quite figure out how to install it.
I tried installing core18 via snap with this command:
$ sudo snap install core18
But I get this error message:
error: cannot install "core18": invalid snap type: "base"
I then tried to install snapcraft, but was unable to add the repository:
W: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/snappy-dev/tools/ubuntu eoan InRelease' is not signed.
Are there any easy way to install core18 ?
On a fresh Debian 10 install, I did :
sudo apt install snapd
sudo snap install notepad-plus-plus
but I received the message :
error: cannot perform the following tasks:
- Mount snap «notepad-plus-plus» (260) (snap «notepad-plus-plus» assumes unsupported features: snapd2.43 (try to update snapd and refresh the core snap))
Then, a sudo snap refresh notepad-plus-plus
says it is not installed.
but a sudo snap refresh --list
returns :
snap list
Name Version Rev Tracking Publisher Notes
core18 20210309 1997 stable canonical✓ base

All is looking ok,
and no apt-get update/upgrade
or sudo snap refresh
find anything to change.
What’s the problem ?

Can’t install Snap on Pi 4

Command run:

error: system does not fully support snapd: cannot mount squashfs image using

Any idea what this means and how I can fix it? Thanks!

It seems you have done what is documented here — https://snapcraft.io/docs/installing-snap-on-raspbian
Maybe ask Canonical for support of their product here: https://forum.snapcraft.io/

Have you installed snapd?
I’m not a fan of snap — it’s a fairly terrible way of managing dependencies — and if I can find a non-snap package to install, I will. Snaps tend to be very large and aren’t updated through the normal apt system.

You might try using Gnome-Software

sudo apt install gnome-software flatpak snapd gnome-software-plugin-snap gnome-software-plugin-flatpak

A fairly obvious solution to the OP’s error messages would be ‘modprobe squashfs’, but I’d expect snap to have done that already…
As it is apparently board policy to disallow any criticism of anything, as it appears to criticise something is to criticise all the users of that something, I will no longer be commenting in threads which are not directly relevant to my uses of the Pi.

Mixed system of some packages via snap and some via apt is a lovely way to confuse yourself and if you are extra lucky break your system. In theory snaps should be totally self contained, however the onus is then on you to maintain them. Not convinced that flatpaks are any better. I suppose you could modify make files and compile some yourself and add them to the mix to get a trifecta of goodness…
It likely comes down to if you want to maintain a system or a bunch of separate «apps». There might be an argument to be made to maintain the system using apt, and install all your applications as snaps. If that is your plan, starting with Lite and building a minimal system with no «apps» is likely the way to go. The one win with snaps is you get standalone applications, at the expense of size, so can more easily get the latest and greatest without being held back by a core library dependency. Personally I am good with not being bleeding end and living with one unified package manager.

:
snap 2.37.4-1+b1
snapd 2.37.4-1+b1
