I'm using VNC to access a desktop and experiencing just this issue. Using the "export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" allows me to get a firefox window. I can't open file load/save dialogs from that session though, so can't import/export certificates & websites with file upload pages that use the standard file-picker dialog don't work. To be fair though I'm fed up of being told that it's my configuration that must be wrong & I should be applying one of many random environment variable settings that I may find on the internet. If firefox works in, say, an xfce session by default & everything works, but it doesn't work in a similar session over VNC then something in the distro configuration is broken - simple as.
I've better things to do than try to apply workarounds to fix broken systems, so I'll use a distro that works. It seems that the team at Ubuntu is simply not ready to fully support the myriad ways of using desktop linux. -- 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 X2Go: New Status in Xpra Terminal Server: New Status in snapd package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in x2goserver package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in snapd package in Debian: New Status in snapd package in Fedora: 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.
