Microstack install error

1

Can anyone help or point me in the right direction? I’m attempting to install microstack on an Ubuntu 20.04 Desktop virtual machine and am getting the following error:

sudo snap install --beta --devmode microstack
error: cannot perform the following tasks:

  • Start snap “microstack” (222) services ([start snap.microstack.load-modules.service] failed with exit status 1: Job for snap.microstack.load-modules.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
    See “systemctl status snap.microstack.load-modules.service” and “journalctl -xe” for details.
    )

I am having the same problem when executing sudo snap install --edge microstack
I try apt-get update, but I am guessing there is nothing to update.
OS
VERSION=“20.04.1 LTS (Focal Fossa)”
Command:
sudo snap install --edge microstack
error: cannot perform the following tasks:

    )

I have pretty much the same errors on journalctl

Hi Fernando,

You probably need to install using --devmode as work is needed to run under strict confinement.

sudo snap install microstack --devmode --beta

If you were curious and wanted to dig into the load modules further, it runs a modprobe command, so you could run that command manually. See: https://opendev.org/x/microstack/src/branch/master/snap-overlay/bin/load-modules
