In progress: snapd 2.27.5

The proposed updates (currently in updates-testing) have been updated to snapd-2.27.1:

They should synchronize out to the mirrors within the next 24-48 hours.

I hope it makes it since it has been a while since this broke

Thanks for this! This was indeed not ported to 2.27 and https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/pull/3731 will fix this. So there will be a 2.27.2 with this fix in.

There is one more blocker for 2.27.2: Artful i386 panics - there are branches with a workaround so hopefully we can merge this soon(ish).

The 2.27.2 release that fixes the issue found and outlined here is now in the beta channel and in artful.

The 2.27.2 release is now in the candidate channel. Please help testing by snap refresh --candidate core and let us know if everything works as expected.

Please, let me know if you find any regression.

I’ll test those two now, thank you for preparing them!

Testing on F25 now, I’ll follow up with F26 (I have i386 and x86_64 variants of F26 but only x86_64 variant of F25)

The 2.27.4 release is now in the candidate channel. Please help testing by snap refresh --candidate core and let us know if everything works as expected.

Please, let me know if you find any regression.

What’s changed? I don’t see any edits than version in post header. Or it’s just a bugfixes release?

The only one change is:

  • snap-seccomp: add secondary arch for unrestricted snaps as well (PR: 3603)

This is the changelog for more info: https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/blob/2.27.4/packaging/ubuntu-16.04/changelog

HOAX: It’s 2.27.4 in the meantime and xdg-open is still not working.

works fine for me in candidate, beta and edge here (note that 2.27* has not made it to stable yet)

snap info core                                                                                        
tracking:    candidate

do you have the snapd-xdg-open deb installed on the host ?

Guten Morgen, Juergen! :wink: @ogra :: Many thanks! How could I clean up the false report?

it isnt actually a false report, there should have been a dependency/recommends in snapd for this from the start or snapd-xdg-open should have been included in the snapd package … but instead of including it, there is a re-write in progress atm (so the report is correct, the fix is a bit complex though).

The testing from the CE project discovered a regression in the nmcli binary. A new snapd 2.27.5 with the following changes got uploaded:

  • interfaces: fix network-manager plug regression
  • hooks: do not error when hook handler is not registered
  • interfaces/alsa,pulseaudio: allow read on udev data for sound
  • interfaces/optical-drive: read access to udev data for /dev/scd*
  • interfaces/browser-support: read on /proc/vmstat and misc udev data

Cool, Browser support. Finally i can have HW Acceleration on Chromium Snap :smiley:
