        @mihael nowhere. The config needs to be added there, then the kernel + device image needs to be rebuild. After that you would be able to test it, when you switch to the dev-channel.

          @Luksus Ah, ok, I see. When should we expect that to land in dev?

          Just wanted to mention that Snapz0r was displaying that the kernel is ready for snaps - does that mean that it wrongly reported that?

            Yes, I think so. Maybe that is the real issue, which should be discussed in your github-issue for this app.

              @Luksus Ok, thank you again, I will report that.

              Reported.

              So how come snap list still works and reports core, core20, core22, gtk2-common-themes, snapd and bare?

                @mihael I don't know. I just encountered the same issue on the FP3 and recompiled the kernel with the missing CONFIG_SQUASHFS_LZO setting and after that, installation of snaps worked.

                But I wonder why it already seems to work on the op5t for @padraic in https://forums.ubports.com/post/77291 .

                  @Luksus It doesn't work for @padraic either, he encountered the same issue as me: https://forums.ubports.com/post/77310

                    @mihael probably they are compressed as xz Archives and not lzo archives.

                      Hi @Luksus , it's a bit off topic bt I would be interested in recompiling my OT5t kernel and checking to see if that works.

                      Is there a guide to recompiling? Can you do it on the device itself?

                          @padraic Hey, my MR got merged yesterday, so it should already be in todays devel images I guess. I am not sure if kernel is updated through OTA or just when using installer with bootstrap function. Just give it a try.

                            Update after OTA 4 (stable) - I guess the patched kernel now has what is needed for snaps:

                            I was able to install Firefox and there is a Firefox icon in the Launcher and it launches but I only get a translucent window with a little bit of shadow effect and that's it, the window is empty.

                            What's the next step in making snaps work? Or what other snap should I try?

                              Oh, I just installed gimp and it works!!! Wow

                              What could be the problem with firefox?

                              • given the initial issue, I will mark the thread as solved.

                                @mihael Got Brave Browser and Gimp up and working, however the fonts etc are incredibly small.
