I checked again today. There was an update for gnome-software. I updated via Synaptic to avoid updating other packages from the repository. I just checked "gnome-software" to be updated. Synaptic also checked "gnome-software-common" and "ubuntu-software" to be updated. Apart from that Synaptic also checked "libsnapd-glib1" and "snapd-login-service" to be installed. So after updating and installing mentioned packages, I closed Synaptic and started g-s, I searched for "krita" (snap version showed up) and tried to install it but without luck (error about wrong password). I restarted my computer and tried again installing Krita. This time it went fine. After I entered my launchpad email and password, I was asked to enter my computer password. After that I clicked "continue" and Krita was installed.

This is due to a behaviour change in snapd (no longer accepts login requests from non-root users). Existing credentials continue to work. [Test Case] 1. Delete any existing credentials by deleting passwords marked "com.ubuntu.UbuntuOne.GnomeSoftware" using Seahorse. 2. Start GNOME Software 3. Search for a snap (e.g. "moon-buggy") 4. Install Snap 5. Enter Ubuntu One credentials when prompted Observed result: Dialog says "Incorrect email or password". Expected result: Authentication completes and the snap is installed. [Regression Potential] The solution is to use a new D-Bus service (snapd-login-service) and new library (snapd-glib) to get the Macaroon from snapd. This has some risk of introducing new bugs. The change is minimised (other snapd code paths unchanged) and the alternative is login to be impossible.
