Snap package not loading on Manjaro Linux

[bpringe]

• VSCode Version: Not exactly sure because I can't open it or run code, but release in Add/Remove Software is ea3859d (edit: seeing the commit message it looks like 1.52.1 is the version)
• OS Version: Manjaro Linux
  • Release 20.2

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download Visual Studio Code Snap
2. Try to open a project via the icon, nothing happens
3. Try to open a project via code <project-dir>, see cannot query current apparmor profile: Invalid argument

Tested with insiders build 4a875e2 and it also does not work. (code command isn't found / added to path with install, but clicking the icon does nothing).

Just happened to me as well
Edit: I just switched to 5.10, now it works.

Hi there,

I'm also using Manjaro.

It seems to be directly related to the apparmor profiles for code & url-handler:

❯ aa-enabled
Yes

❯ sudo aa-status
[...]
2 profiles are in complain mode.
   snap.code.code
   snap.code.url-handler

@bpringe I found the solution on the Manjaro forum https://forum.manjaro.org/t/snaps-stopped-working-after-2020-12-30-update/45518/11.

TL;DR ➡️ bump up the kernel to 5.10 and the issue is solved 🎉 🚀 .

So, I tried this, though it was my first time trying to change the kernel, and it caused my OS to not load the UI on boot. So I had to access the OS from a bootable USB + terminal to undo what I did so I could access my OS again. 😄

Just a word of caution to anyone who hasn't done this before ^. I probably did something wrong. Anyway, instead of making the snap work, I built the AUR package instead, and this has been working great for me.

Same issue here, and updating to 5.10 isn't an option unfortunately.
