PS I do not think this is a bug in snap. It is a bug with the way the session is being setup. I don't know what the bug is, I have spend some hours trawling through bug reports and following clues (I tried to be useful). My "spam" on the snapcraft bug was a helpful note directing readers here, because this is the bug report tracking the actual bug, whatever it is. That's not spam, that's being a good citizen.
by following bug reports relating to "Activated service 'org.freedesktop.systemd1' failed: Process org.freedesktop.systemd1 exited with status 1" I ended up learning about the Xession init files, in particular /etc/X11/Xsession.d/20dbus_xdg-runtime Then I compared env for a local login (which works of course) and a remote session. The difference which stood out was the value for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS. I just copied how that is set in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/20dbus_xdg-runtime and it works for me now, when I connect to my nomachine workstation server running on the xubuntu machine. the session is started with /usr/bin/startxfce4 which is probably very similar to other remote access sessions. -- 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.
