Nagios Support Forum

We have a running NagiosXI install that we tried to upgrade, this failed due to a problem with snap install of the chromium-browser. Just sat there with no further movement (this was running on Ubuntu Jammy) tried to update to Unbuntu 24.04 and run the update again which failed with the same problem. So we built a new Ubuntu 24.04 instance (clean base install, nothing else installed) and it went through and did everything upto the chromium -browser install again! I then tried to manually install chromium-browsrer manually but it failed with the same error that the Nagios scripts fail with (snapd is trying to mount a squashfs mount which fails.) This is probably only at the latest levels. I have attached the install log.

OK I found the issue (adding so that others who stumble into this can find the issue.)

snaps relies on certain Linux kernel features which are not available under containerized servers like those running under openvz!

So have to change to a VM and start again.
