Comment 1 for bug 1979956

Hi. Thank you for reporting this, I marked it as a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapd/+bug/1873703. As that report mentions, you can work around this by commenting out the "OOMScoreAdjust" line in /lib/systemd/upstart/snapd.service and restarting the snapd service with `systemctl start snapd.service`. The root cause of the issue is in systemd and has been fixed for a long time (https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/1611) but 14.04's systemd version is very old and doesn't contain the fix.
