Problem installing snap
-
Hi,
I have just installed latest ubuntu 24.04 in a Redmi Note 7.
Trying to install a snap I get the followingsudo snap install dino-tsugu Download snap "dino-ts… Mount snap "dino-tsugu" (13) Automatically connect eligible plugs and slots of snap "dino-tsugu" -error: cannot perform the following tasks: - Run configure hook of "dino-tsugu" snap if present (run hook "configure": cannot mount bpf filesystem under /sys/fs/bpf: No such file or directory) - Run install hook of "mesa-2404" snap if present (run hook "install": cannot mount bpf filesystem under /sys/fs/bpf: No such file or directory) phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ snap list Name Version Rev Tracking Publisher Notes bare 1.0 5 latest/stable canonical✓ base core24 20251001 1226 latest/stable canonical✓ base gnome-46-2404 0+git.df85349-sdk0+git.54e4d8f 147 latest/stable canonical✓ - gtk-common-themes 0.1-81-g442e511 snapd 2.72I reset and erased (everything) in my phone and did the process again, and still the same result.
Then I also installed firefox using snap, and although I installed it this time without errors I couldn't find it in app lists (I restarted teh phone) and also couldn't run it from terminal.
Firefox is not a huge dealbraker for me, but having dino for calls is, so any help is greatly appreceated.

I have been able to install this exact snap before. Maybe it is something device-specific in the kernel?
But do note, even if you manage to get the snap working, the scaling is off, and the phone keyboard does not work in it.

So I was still able to install. I also have
/sys/fs/bpf. This comes from the kernel. So the only solution, really, is for the Redmi Note 7 kernel to be updated with the BPF modules, I think.You could try getting funky and installing the kernel module yourself on an R/W filesystem (if they're even available as a kernel module package), but that is discouraged for obvious reasons.
Maybe there is a way to disable the check in the dino snap with a command line option to
snap? -

Redmi Note 7.
searching for 'snap' in the issues for your devices turns up this:
si it seems that your device not being one of the 'officially' supported ones, nobody has yet volunteered to get the linux kernel to the same level as to have all the advertised features of 24.04.
For the record I tried to setup this app on my Fairphone 5 (one of the 'reference devices') and it installed without problem. Did not try to run it as I have no interest myself, but your specific problem don't exist on FP5. -

Thank you for taking time to provide feedback.@projectmoon said in Problem installing snap:

As my knowledge in snap management is limited I will wait for others to provide more info

Bummer.... Anyway, it is shown in https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/ so maybe it should be removed?

If it is possible, can you check if audio and/or video calling is working?
Cheers!

@nparafe Like I said, the snap does not fully integrate with the system due to scaling and keyboard issues. It's probably possible to use it with a physical keyboard, but I don't have one paired to the phone.
