[Bug 1592696] Re: snaps dont work with encrypted home: failed to create user data directory. errmsg: Permission denied

 

There are a looot of changes in this, including a completely new build
system, which don't match the usual SRU policy. Please add the missing
SRU test case, an analysis of the regression potential, and point to a
test plan to ensure that there are no regressions on existing xenial
systems.

   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Also affects: snapd (Ubuntu Xenial)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Changed in: ubuntu-core-launcher (Ubuntu Xenial)
       Status: New => Incomplete

Title:
  snaps dont work with encrypted home: failed to create user data
  directory. errmsg: Permission denied

Status in snapd package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in ubuntu-core-launcher package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in snapd source package in Xenial:
  New
Status in ubuntu-core-launcher source package in Xenial:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  No snaps appear to work with encrypted home. For example, even the
  'hello' snap does not function: failed to create user data directory.
  errmsg: Permission denied

  
  The error message appears to be a bit misleading, since the ~/snap/hello/1 directory tree is created, so the snap can access the home dir.

  
  Workaround:
  Install without encrypted home, if you do that snaps work properly.

  However, see this comment for a possible workaround:
