Snap applications stopped to work after todays distro upgrade. Error is:

> some-snap-app
cannot perform operation: mount -t tmpfs /tmp/snap.rootfs_A5z0uT: Permission denied

Looks like a potential known issue - I see a few things around the net that say that this new issue is causing some issues on multiple distributions. I also am seeing it.

snapd uses Apparmor, and it looks like something might’ve changed in the apparmor profile. You might consider reporting a bug on bugzilla.opensuse.org

Yes, looks like the apparmor issue: only it was updated. Reported: Missing Bug ID

#4

Sounds good - that bug seems to not exist (or possibly is private) - is it the correct bug? Just wanted to confirm.

Found it, this is the bug (looks like your report): 1211989 – Snap applications stopped to work after recent apparmor update

#5

Workaround: 1211989 – Snap applications stopped to work after recent apparmor update

Excellent - thanks for opening the ticket and following up here. I’ve also put the workaround in place, and it worked for me as well.

I’ve just landed 2.59.5 with the cherry-pick of the upstream fix.
