Hello Guys!
I was trying to install spotify on manjaro linux yesterday, but, when i typed the command into the terminal, I got this error:
I tried to install other snaps such as bitwarden and firefox and kept getting the same error. Not sure if this is right place to ask for help or how to proceed from here.
Thanks for your help guys!
Can you upload snapd logs? Specifically journalctl -u snapd
Hello @mborzecki

Can you double check you are actually running the same kernel version as is installed?
I’ve checked the kernel installed on snap and on my system and they are not the same, the kernel installed on the snaps system is:
[josh17@MJ-LINUX ~]$ snap version
snap 2.36.2-1.0
snapd 2.36.2-1.0
series 16
manjaro -
kernel 4.19.14-1-MANJARO
The kernel version on my system is:
Do they have to be the same version? If so, How do i go about to update the snap version?
Thanks for your help.
What I meant is that you need to make sure that the kernel that is running is the same version as installed through your package manager. Eg. on my Arch box:
$ uname -r
4.20.3-arch1-1-ARCH
$ pacman -Q linux
linux 4.20.3.arch1-1
AFAIK Manjaro has the same problem as Arch, there is just one kernel version installed at a time. If you upgraded your host and did not reboot to the new kernel, anything that loads modules on demand will fail in most non obvious ways.
Another alternative is that Manjaro kernel does not support squashfs, but I consider this highly unlikely.
Thanks for the explanation.
Checking my system kernel installed is running the same version but, the issue persists
josh17@MJ-LINUX ~]$ uname -r
4.19.16-1-MANJARO
[josh17@MJ-LINUX ~]$ pacman -Q linux
linux419 4.19.16-1
I’ll try to install it in a VM and see what’s going on.
Does the problem persist if you install snapd from AUR instead of Manjaro repositories?
I Just installed the snapd package from the AUR and tried to install spotify from snapcraft but, the problem persists:
josh17@MJ-LINUX ~]$ sudo snap install spotify
[sudo] password for josh17:
error: system does not fully support snapd: cannot mount squashfs image using
“squashfs”: mount: /tmp/sanity-mountpoint-923455446: el montaje ha
fallado: OperaciĂłn no permitida.
josh17@MJ-LINUX ~]$ snap version
snap 2.37.r194.g96fee42f2-1
snapd 2.37.r194.g96fee42f2-1
series 16
manjaro -
kernel 4.19.16-1-MANJARO
I did a clean install of Manjaro in a VM, but could not reproduce your problem. I tried the package from community repo and the one from AUR. Both worked fine. Mounting a random squashfs image manually, works fine too.
Can you try this in a terminal?
$ mkdir /tmp/foo && echo bar > /tmp/foo/bar
$ mksquashfs /tmp/foo /tmp/foo.img -all-root
$ mkdir /tmp/foo-mount-point
$ sudo mount -t squashfs /tmp/foo.img /tmp/foo-mount-point
Does it fail on the mount step?
Yes, It does.
At the end, it showed me an error. Here is all what the commands displayed:
[josh17@MJ-LINUX ~]$ mkdir /tmp/foo && echo bar > /tmp/foo/bar
[josh17@MJ-LINUX ~]$ mksquashfs /tmp/foo /tmp/foo.img -all-root

At this point it’s clearly not snapd related. The problem is, mounting squashfs images in your host does not work for some reason. It does work for me in a Manjaro VM. I think you’re better off asking around Manjaro forums.
No problem @mborzecki. Thank you for helping me and trying. I truly appreciate your efforts.
Hopefully with one of the updates that manajaro releases, this can be fixed.
Also, keep it up the good job with snaps. I really like the idea behind it. Let’s hope that in the future, there can be more apps.
Have a nice day!
Hello @mborzecki!
I was able to fix the issue!!! Please take a look at what I did in the following link https://forum.manjaro.org/t/snapd-is-not-working-since-downgrade-to-systemd-239-6-2-2-advised-in-the-security-update-on-2019-01-19/73774
Thank you for your help with this. I’ll mark this as solved.
Hopefully this can help others with the same or similar issue.
Kind regards
Thank you so much. I encountered the same issue and this helped me resolve it so quickly.
Glad to know this worked for you too. 
i cant find this forum i think its been removed and i have the same problem with snapd
