I’m trying to create a Snap package but it already fails in devmode.
I used the core20 base because I think core18 doesn’t have gcc>=9 which our project needs to build.
I’m also having troubles getting it to work under strict confinement. I tried adding extensions: [gnome-3-38] to the apps.soundux section but I always get errors when the program tries to access pulseaudio via pactl like Failed to get module information: Access denied
According to the dashboard revisions page it fails with:
package contains external symlinks: etc/pulse/client.conf.d/01-enable-autospawn.conf, lib/systemd/system/pulseaudio-enable-autospawn.service lint-snap-v2_external_symlinks
I would appreciate any assistance in creating the package
From a quick glance through your yaml, I see you’re staging pulseaudio. This package is for the daemon, which you likely don’t need. You will probably eliminate those symlinks by removing pulseaudio from stage-packages. To access the system daemon you will want to stage libpulse0 instead.
Thanks I wasn’t aware of that. It seems to build without that error now.
I don’t know why but it doesn’t work at runtime in devmode. When I change the confinement to classic everything seems fine.
I get a bunch of these errors:
