Linux Mint 19.1 (Tessa) - tmnationsforever not launching

snap
1

I have just installed Linux Mint (dual boot Win 10 separate drive) and upgraded to 19.1 (Tessa)
Have played with linux before but no expert.
Wanted to see if I could get TmNationsForever working.
Installed snapd, snap-core and the snap tmnationsforever, seemed to go ok.
I can’t launch the snap from the shortcut in programs > games > tmnationsforever or terminal.

Greatly appreciate any help, have looked on net and in forum, am lost on what to do next.

Please try upgrade your Linux kernel and reproduce the problem again, Linux Mint has a notorious policy to avoid upgrading kernel packages by default.

Thanks for the quick reply Lin-Buo-Ren,

Upgraded kernel to: 4.15.0-46-generic > rebooted.
Got similar result (see below), should I remove reinstall snapd, tmnationsforever ?

That’s not necessary as the problem is not likely to be solved by simply reinstall those packages (but feel free to try, note that removing snapd will inherently removing all currently installed snaps)

5

That segfault issue is probably caused by libc update on core16 snaps with wine, I also had encountered similar issue when my wine snaps were on core16.

So to fix this issue either snap dev have to ship older libc version precisely libc6_2.23-0ubuntu10 in the snap OR upgrade snap base from core16 to core18 inorder to fix that issue.

Thanks mmtrt,
how would i go about upgrading the snap base to core18?

7

yes, you are right tried remove, reinstall, same result.
Is there anyway to check if snap environment is running properly?

8

That has to be done by the snap’s publisher, which is currently the Snapcrafters community. You can try to migrate it yourself and contribute to the project by sending a pull request. You may want to check out the following forum topics for more info regarding how winesnaps works:

  • snap version
  • snap help debug
  • systemctl status snapd.service
  • journalctl --unit snapd.service

thanks for your time Lin-Buo-Ren,
output below is from commands above if you could please have a look and let me know if anything seems amiss?
don’t understand what I am seeing here but there seem to be some errors in the output from journalctl --unit snapd.service (down the bottom)
