I'm trying to fix an issue with snap I'm having :

root@puppeteer:~# snap install core
error: system does not fully support snapd: cannot mount squashfs image using "squashfs": mount:
       /tmp/sanity-mountpoint-180662911: unknown filesystem type 'squashfs'.

It seems like squashfs is installed

root@puppeteer:~# apt install squashfs-tools
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
squashfs-tools is already the newest version (1:4.4-2+deb11u2).
squashfs-tools set to manually installed.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
root@puppeteer:~#

However it is not in visible when I run the following commands

lsmod
cat /proc/filesystems

and when I run the command to load the module nothing happens at all (even after reboot).

modprobe squashfs

I can't find any information about how to load the module. Any help would be appreciated.

Dmesg

root@puppeteer:~# dmesg | grep squashfs
[   13.365857] request_module fs-squashfs succeeded, but still no fs?

    `modprobe` normally doesn't output anything. Check its outcome with with `lsmod | grep squashfs` afterwards, also check `dmesg`: mine says `[2010614.161973] squashfs: version 4.0 (2009/01/31) Phillip Lougher`. Finally, what `modinfo squashfs` says? – Nikita Kipriyanov Dec 01 '22 at 13:21
  • @NikitaKipriyanov : I checked the outcome and there was no changes to lsmod nor /proc/filesystems. I edited question and added output of dmesg and modinfo commands. Thank you for your time. – hendr1x Dec 01 '22 at 13:47

    Is this a bare metal or VM system, or a non-privileged child container of some sort (LXC, Docker, whatever)? – Nikita Kipriyanov Dec 01 '22 at 14:54
  • @NikitaKipriyanov : This is a VM....running from KVM. – hendr1x Dec 01 '22 at 23:34

    Quite strange. Did you try to reboot it? It is very strange. Maybe something was corrupted. – Nikita Kipriyanov Dec 02 '22 at 03:32
  • I've shutdown/restarted many times. – hendr1x Dec 02 '22 at 13:05

Turns out there were lines in my /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf file that was preventing squashfs from being installed.
