Install pal calendar on 16.0

Running XFCE. Surprisingly, pal is available for 16.0. Following the instructions at Install Pal on openSUSE using the Snap Store | Snapcraft and starting

localhost:/home/ion # sudo snap install pal-pv
error: cannot communicate with server: Post "http://localhost/v2/snaps/pal-pv": dial unix /run/snapd.socket: connect: connection refused
localhost:/home/ion # 

I looked at

I don’t understand what it’s telling me. Any suggestions?

In a recent thread it was explained that snapd is build with Apparmor support. As Leap 16 comes with SELinux, snapd don’t work. Snapd is officially not supported on openSUSE.

Snap may not be avaible fully on 16

I don’t believe Snap is well supported on openSUSE

If it is available for 16.0, why are you using snap?

I’m confused - there is NO reference to Leap 16 at that webpage. The highest version referenced is 15.5.
(15.6 is not stated)

One problem that is very obvious from your error output (and explained in another Reply):

backends.go:91: AppArmor status: apparmor not enabled
