I've commented before, but if your desktop session is correctly set up, the systemd --user instance should be available, then a transient scope can be created for snap and proper device access filtering can be set up in that cgroup, thus completing the sandbox. Cgroup v1 works differently, in that there is a separate hierarchy which could be set up for a snap and there's no need to ask ssytemd to set up anything on behalf of the snap. This is no longer the case for v2.
AFAICT gdm/kdm/xdm seem to be able to do that correctly. Most trouble seems to be coming from X2go/vnc or similar solutions which appear to give you a desktop access, but it's half baked, and are either missing session dbus or the systemd --user instance. Perhaps it's not really going through PAM, hence things that would have been set up through pam_systemd are missing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1951491 Title: Can't run snaps: .slice/session-1.scope is not a snap cgroup Status in snapd package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in snapd package in Debian: New Bug description: I just upgraded from hirsute to impish using do-release-upgrade. On the upgraded system, I can't run either firefox or chromium (both of which worked fine under hirsute). Both fail with: /user.slice/user-NNN.slice/session-1.scope is not a snap cgroup where NNN is my uid With firefox, I was able to fix the problem with: snap remove --purge firefox apt purge firefox apt install firefox Now firefox works. But I tried the same thing substituting chromium- browser for firefox, and it didn't help: chromium fails with the same error message. I guess there must be something left over from the hirsute version of snapd that isn't getting noticed or cleared by the impish version? Someone suggested this might be related to bug 1850667, but that bug is marked fixed as of a couple months ago, and I just did this upgrade today. Also, it doesn't mention the error message I'm seeing.
