Hey there
I’ve recently installed manjaro, and instead of using the AUR for the beat all destination of apps, I want to use snap for those that I want to install and then never tinker with again, but…
I’ve partitioned a large /opt, so i did the following:
sudo pacman -Sy snapd
sudo mkdir /opt/snapd
sudo mount -o bind /opt/snapd /var/lib/snapd
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
snap login
so far so good i believe. What i wanted to achieve there, was:
install snapd create a dir in /opt/snapd and mount it as /var/lib/snapd to keep data on /opt then symlink /var/lib/snapd/snap to /snap for installation of apps with classic confinement, then enable the snap service and login to the store.
Then i do:
snap install vscode --classic
and get: error: cannot install “vscode”: classic confinement requires snaps under /snap or symlink from /snap to /var/lib/snapd/snap
I believe i had created that symlink with: sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
and when i look in the / folder the link is there, so what gives?
Any help here?
