Matthieu, more recently a more likely problem has been characterized by Alberto Mardegan and found the line in question in https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapd/+bug/1973321
In particular, restarting snapd doesn't help at all for me, so having the directory mounted before snapd starts doesn't help, and the same problem occurs with other file systems. However _starting_ outside the home directory does help. This is the situation for me with Kerberos authenticated NFS, and others with sshfs. I don't know whether it is relevant for people using NFS without authentication. It is easy to test for yourself - restart snapd and see if that helps. So I think there is progress in understanding the problem, even if not working out how to fix it. FYI: I initially tried a work around where I used the debian repository for firefox instead of the snap version, but despite giving it a higher priority (confirmed via "sudo apt policy firefox") I found the debian package twice over a week uninstalled and replaced by the snap version that then would not start. I can manually revert it but it is inconvenient. Any suggestions on how to make that work reliably would be appreciated. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1884299 Title: Chromium snap won't run with nfs home drive Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in snapd package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: My physical computer lab uses AutoFS home drives (per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Autofs#Wildcard_characters).
