Desktop-launch fails with libXss.so.1: cannot open shared object file

snapcraft

Hi all

I’m trying to snap a desktop application.

Running the app without desktop-launch works, but it throws a lot of warnings such as no locale found. Running the app with desktop-launch fails with the following error: /snap/pixum-fotoboek/x1/Pixum Fotowereld: error while loading shared libraries: libXss.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Adding libxss1 to state-packages gives a new error, snapd.so not found. I don’t understand what’s going wrong…

I also get the following error on install:

2017-11-02T15:05:22+01:00 INFO snap "pixum-fotoboek" has bad plugs or slots: gnome-3.26-1604 (unknown interface)

I’m installing in devmode, building with cleanbuild

it’s gnome-3-26-1604 - you have a dot . instead of a hyphen -

That’s strange, it’s a hyphen in my snapcraft.yaml file as you can see above:

yes, there is correct, but further down in the apps: section you have a dot.

Thanks! that fixed the second error.

libsnappy is not related to snapd or snapcraft or the snap ecosystem at all. You need the stage-package of libsnappy1v5 because it is needed for your application to run.

libsnappy is:

Snappy is a compression/decompression library. It does not aim for
maximum compression, or compatibility with any other compression
library; instead, it aims for very high speeds and reasonable
compression.

Thanks, that got me confused!
