Hello,
I upgraded my server on Debian 9 precisely to install Nextcloud via Snap. I’ve installed Snap, then updated, upgraded and rebooted everything to hell. But every time I try to perform the command, this happens:
snap install nextcloud
error: cannot perform the following tasks:
-Mount snap “core” (7270) ([start snap-core-7270.mount] failed with exit status 1: Job for snap-core-7270.mount failed.
See “systemctl status snap-core-7270.mount” and “journalctl -xe” for details.
)
and installation stops.
Does anyone have an idea on how to solve the problem, please ?
Thanks by advance for your time !
I would start with checking the logs referenced by the error message.
Hi, thanks for your answer. Here is what I got:
– Unit snap-core-7270.mount has begun starting up.

And I don’t know how to interpret nor fix this.
Okay, I’m not too sure about that one either. I haven’t used snap a whole lot, but I can tell you that the snap system uses a sandbox in the file system with some interesting permissions. something in that is most likely what it’s trying to mount, so the problem could be with the snap setup itself.
I use mainly Ubuntu Server which has snap preinstalled, so I don’t know what needs to be done to install it manually, but I would definitely look there.
Well, I guess I will go ask on the Snapcraft forums, and keep you posted if I get an answer.
Thank you for your help, still !
EDIT : I tried to run “snap install nextcloud” again, and now the error is with snap-core-7396.mount, that’s what I get when I run a systemcl:
