Cannot setup udev for snap "core": cannot reload udev rules

snapd

Hello, I’m trying to install meshlab through snap. However, it seems to be having a problem with udev. It successfully creates the file /etc/udev/rules.d/70-snap.core.rules with lots of rules in it. However, the installation fails with the following error:

error: cannot perform the following tasks:

  • Connect meshlab:opengl to core:opengl (cannot setup udev for snap “core”: cannot reload udev rules: exit status 2 udev output: )
  • Connect meshlab:opengl to core:opengl (cannot reload udev rules: exit status 2 udev output: )

Just to double check that I had opengl installed and working, I ran glxgears and saw a visualization of the gears spinning, making me assume that it isn’t a problem with opengl. Also, I’m running Ubuntu 18.04.

Did you fix it somehow?

This sounds like a snapd problem. What is your snap version? Can you install other snaps successfully?
