Snap installation errors

aliakbar

I'm having an issue with snaps on my freshly installed Solus KDE 4.2, when I try to install any snaps I the following error message:

error: cannot perform the following tasks:
- Mount snap "telegram-desktop" (2480) (exit status 1)

Any ideas?

UPDATE:

Surprisingly managed to install Visual Studio Code with sudo snap install code --classic but it crashes on execution! I'm still unable to install Telegram!

Journal log from the time of the installation:

3/9/21 9:26 PM	sudo	username : TTY=pts/1 ; PWD=/home/username ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/snap install telegram-desktop

Did a sudo usysconf run -f then rebooted but the issue still persists...

aliakbar I know this doesn't directly address the problem you want to solve, but do you know that both VS Code and Telegram are packaged for Solus and available through the Software Center? I understand that for VS Code some functionalities require the proprietary binary, but I'm not aware of any similar drawbacks for Telegram.

nathanpainchaud Yes, I am aware that there are Solus packages, but I'd like to install a few applications that are not available on the Software Center, these few just happened to be an example. After all, the word is Solus is migrating away from packaging third-party applications to Snaps.
