I tried to install snapcraft using the instruction from here https://snapcraft.io/docs/installing-snap-on-debian
And later tried to install shotcut using "sudo snap install shotcut --classic"
However I get this error
"error: system does not fully support snapd: cannot mount squashfs image using "squashfs": mount: /tmp/sanity-mountpoint-501228691: mount failed: Operation not permitted."
how do I fix this, I'm using debian 10

  • It might be useful if you explained what you have tried that has worked. For example, have you tested that `snapd` is installed correctly? There are instructions for testing this at the link you provided. It seems to me that you may be attempting to install `shotcut` without having first ensured that `snapd` is functioning, since the error you posted suggests an issue with `snapd` and not `shotcut`. – Fiddy Bux May 30 '20 at 20:34
  • No I didn't test it, I just thought It'd be working – Dumb Debian user May 30 '20 at 20:59

The issue might be related to trying to run snap inside a container (a VPS, or a docker container) that does not have the correct configuration to run snap.

To run snap nicely inside a container... Look for the following keywords:

openvz /dev/fuse CAP=SYS_ADMIN --privileged loopback 'modprobe fuse'

my advice is to not use snap and to use apt-get instead.
