Cannot build a snap due to this error and tried on two separate machines. Running snapcraft clean doesn’t help, nor does disabling the firewall. Is this is a server problem?

launch failed: Remote “snapcraft” is unknown or unreachable.
An error occurred with the instance when trying to launch with ‘multipass’: returned exit code 2. Ensure that ‘multipass’ is setup correctly and try again.

The log shows this:

I was seeing the exact same error for all of yesterday on all my machines. I’ve resorted to using LXD to build for now, which works fine.

This also happens to me after a multipass updated. This workaround didn’t help me see:

This workaround might be of some help.

Thanks this works. Doesn’t this problem break snapcraft for everyone though?

Actually I get the following error using this method when building. It might be specific to me but never saw it before.

/bin/bash: /snap/core18/current/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.33' not found
