I decided to give Kali a spin today (on VMWare Workstation) and ran into some troubles installing snap-store. I went with the VM build Kali-Linux-2021.3-vmware-amd64 straight from kali.org.
I followed this guide after updating all my packages and installing snap:
When I call snap-store via terminal, I am greeted with this plethora of errors:
The store actually opens, but no images load and it’s basically a skeleton. I was actually able to download and install Typora through the store successfully, but obviously something still isn’t right.
Here’s my snap version:
snap 2.52
snapd 2.52
series 16
kali 2021.3
kernel 5.10.0-kali9-amd64
