Snapcraft does not work at all (Ubuntu 24.10)

As title. What am I doing?

Just trying to create my first hello world snap.

I created a first hello world with snapcraft init

then I tried to build it with the snapcraft command.

It returns this error: LXD requires additional permissions.
Recommended resolution: Ensure that the user is in the ‘lxd’ group. Visit https://documentation.ubuntu.com/lxd/en/latest/getting_started/ for instructions on installing and configuring LXD for your operating system.

I tried adding my user to LXD but it doesn’t work. still have this error.

If I launch the snapcraft command with the sudo I have this error: Timed out waiting for networking to be ready.
Full execution log: ‘/root/.local/state/snapcraft/log/snapcraft-20241127-115615.011560.log’

any idea on what is happening here?

Did you log out and back in again after adding your user to that group? If you don’t, the change won’t be active…

Do you have docker installed?

yess but I don’t want to de-install it just for snapcraft. :slight_smile: I noticed that disabling ufw (ubuntu firewall) made the trick.

but what should I allow to permit to snapcraft to work with the firewall running using ubuntu 24.10 and ufw?

Hmmm… @zyga @sergiusens Can you please help him?

I think there are workarounds in the well known docker issue (that apparently won’t get fixed is to be fixed soon ! (after only 7 years :slight_smile: ))

For people using Ubuntu this solved for me:

sudo ufw allow in on lxdbr0
sudo ufw route allow in on lxdbr0
sudo ufw route allow out on lxdbr0
