Firefox Snap PM install error on fresh LL 6.0 - Permission denied - Alan_Wilts - 06-12-2022
Hi. Just installed a fresh copy of LL 6.0 on a PC for a friend to use to wean them off Windows -;
Installed LL 6.0 and did one update. Kernel now 5.15.0-37-generic
Went to Package Manager to add Firefox and learnt that Ubuntu based distros are now using Snap for FF. Installed Firefox Snap but failed with:
Code:
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/firefox_1%3a1snap1-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb
W: Download is performed unsandboxed as root, as file '/root/.synaptic/tmp//tmp_cl'
couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. -
pkgAcquire:: Run (13: Permission denied)
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)A package failed to install. Trying to recover: ....Package Manager is now sitting in the system tray and will not end.
What is the best way forward and how do I get rid of any "loose" ends
Thanks
Alan
