I had a nearly full / drive. Thats the reason why I moved the content of /snap on a own partition.

I stopped snap, moved the content, mount the new partition and started snap.

/etc/fstab

/dev/HDD/snap /snap ext4 defaults 0   1

When i try to install Chromium i get this error:

sudo snap install chromium
Fehler: cannot perform the following tasks:
- Den Konfigurationshook von Snap "chromium" ausführen, falls vorhanden (run hook "configure": cannot locate base snap core18: No such file or directory)

ll /snap

    You will probably need to do a bit more work with mount points. Take a look at the third option in this answer, and you'll see the mount points that need to be managed. I'd say you're more than halfway there, though –  Jan 05 '21 at 09:25
  • You mean that i should change the mount point for /var/lib/snapd aswell? Do i have to? – JokerGermany Jan 05 '21 at 10:44
  • /dev/HDD/snap seems to be non-existent. – N0rbert Jan 05 '21 at 17:58
  • my /snap directories have drwxr-xr-x permissions and are all owned by root - maybe a chmod and chown is needed ---- drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 jan 5 16:53 bin drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 jan 5 21:16 core drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 jan 5 11:51 core18 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 jan 4 19:55 core20 – Koen Jan 05 '21 at 20:22
  • Thansk for your help. Setting the permissions didn't work. dev/hdd/snap exists: mount | grep snap 
    /dev/mapper/HDD-snap on /snap type ext4 (rw,relatime)

    I will purge snap now...

  • It doesn't make sense to move the contents of /snap to a different partition. The directory contains a README file, read it: The disk space consumed by the content under this directory is minimal as the real snap content never leaves the .snap file. Snaps are *mounted* rather than unpacked. – mook765 Feb 11 '23 at 11:01

Okay, i gave up.

sudo apt-get purge snapd snap 
sudo apt-get install snapd snap

and everything is working

Finally! After reboot:

sudo apt-get purge snapd snap  
sudo apt-get install snapd snap
sudo snap install snap-store

Same problem on me when reinstall snap-store on Ubuntu 22.04

Run configure hook of "snap-store" snap if present (run hook "configure": cannot locate base snap core20: No such file or directory)

I solved it by reinstalling "core20":

sudo snap remove core20

then

sudo snap install core20

Cannot locate base snap core20: No such file or directory
