Snap throws error when trying to run 'code' (VSCode) or any other snap package


Suddenly Snap has started throwing error when ever i try to run any app such as VSCode, Spotify and Bitwarden that is installed via snap, this was not the case until yesterday and the only notable change i have made to my system is that i have installed nerd-fonts for my terminal which i assume to not be of any problem here


Here are the commands i tried that have thrown this error -

foo@bar:~$ code
foo@bar:~$ spotify
foo@bar:~$ bitwarden
foo@bar:~$ snap run <app>

All these commands throw the same new error which was not the case until now -

/snap/snapd/17883/usr/lib/snapd/snap-confine: symbol lookup error: /snap/snapd/17883/usr/lib/snapd/snap-confine: undefined symbol: , version GLIBC_2.2.5

Here is my /var/log/syslog if it helps any -

foo@bar:~$ tail -f /var/log/syslog

I have tried to google this error but haven't found anyone having the exact match


Solution

  • It happened to me as well. I tried to reinstall go with Snap but it didn't work out. Also, it fails open vscode.

    After a reboot, it works now.
