cannot bind mount nvidia driver /usr/lib/nvidia-367

[Björn Tillenius]

I'm using snaps inside an up to date xenial lxd container (on an up to date xenial host). It worked fine with core snap 16.04.1 rev 888, but when I try to upgrade to rev 1079, I get the following error:

  sudo snap refresh core
  error: cannot perform the following tasks:
  - Run configure hook of "core" snap if present (cannot bind mount nvidia driver /usr/lib/nvidia-367 -> /tmp/snap.rootfs_6HIgd6/var/lib/snapd/lib/gl: No such file or directory)

I can work around it by bind mounting /var/lib/nvidia-367 from the host to the containers.

Hey

Can you tell me if your container has /usr/lib/nvidia-367 and /var/lib/snapd/lib/gl.

Can also tell me the version of snapd inside the container?

I tried in a fresh container now:

root@ruling-wallaby:~# dpkg -l snapd
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend

Thank you. I understand the issue now.
