[SOLVED] Is there a minimum system specification for installing snap?

Issue

I tried installing snap on debian 10 buster using the sudo command. When I run the command "sudo snap install core" I get the error message:

system does not fully support snapd: cannot mount squashes image using "squashfs": mount: /tmp/sanity-mountpoint-600122688: mount failed: operation not permitted

What could be the cause? Thanks.

Solution

There could be several reasons for this problem:

1. I had to add the repo add deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free into my /etc/apt/sources.list and thenapt update. My original repositories list didn't contain the squashfuse package.

2. Try this: sudo apt install libsquashfuse0 squashfuse fuse

3. You may also need sudo modprobe loop
