Solus OS - Difficulty in getting snaps - "connection refused"

MilesAvebury · December 9, 2018, 9:37am

Hello

I recently installed Solus and went about doing my usual app installations. I encountered trouble when I tried to install Spotify. I have searched around extensively but found no definitive solution, but I did discover what bug reports are useful when reporting the issue so I’ll paste the ones I think are most useful.

Output when trying to install Spotify:

error: cannot communicate with server: Post http://localhost/v2/snaps/spotify: dial unix /run/snapd.socket: connect: connection refused

systemctl status snapd Output:

● snapd.service - Snappy daemon
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/snapd.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sun 2018-12-09 14:36:53 HKT; 2h 55min ago
Process: 13570 ExecStart=/usr/lib64/snapd/snapd (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
Main PID: 13570 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

snap version

snap 2.36.1
snapd unavailable
series -

snap list

error: cannot list snaps: cannot communicate with server: Get http://localhost/v2/snaps: dial unix /run/snapd.socket: connect: connection refused

If there are any other terminal outputs you need, let me know!
Any help would be appreciated,

Cheers, Miles

What does journalctl -u snapd --no-pager say?

hmm. That’s strange: our logger usually prints a filename before the error message. I’ll look around for this abit.

Meanwhile, could you try

sudo SNAPD_DEBUG=1 /usr/lib/snapd/snapd

and report back what that outputs?

Thank you.

error: EOF

chipaca · December 11, 2018, 11:16am

The only way I can reproduce that error is by emptying snapd’s state.json (which is in /var/lib/snapd/state.json here but might be in a slightly different location there). Could you take a look at that file and check that it hasn’t been corrupted somehow?

MilesAvebury · December 11, 2018, 11:22am

You’re right, that file does seem to be corrupted because it’s size is 0 bytes and I don’t seem to have the necessary permissions to open it.

How would I go about restoring it to its originate state?

chipaca · December 11, 2018, 11:26am

its original state is ~~empty~~ non-existent (unless your distro is doing something special). You could try just renaming it to something.

But, the fact that it’s empty means your filesystem is corrupt. Can you fsck it? What filesystem is it?

MilesAvebury · December 11, 2018, 11:34am

Wow, it worked! Thanks. I renamed the file, ran the spotify install and it worked!

I didn’t run fsck because I doubt I needed to, nonetheless though, if its useful my file system is ext4.
Maybe I will run it later just to double check.

Anyhow, it worked, many thanks!

Shuvo · March 11, 2020, 6:30am

You can easily solve this problem!!
just do 2 steps ->

uninstall your snapd service by using this command

sudo apt autoremove --purge snapd

then install snapd again using this command

sudo apt install snapd

after install you can check your snapd status using this this command

systemctl status snapd.service

your output will look like that your snapd is inactive, for active your snapd you have to write this command

systemctl restart snapd.service

then check your snapd status you will see your snapd service is active
