You need to have snapd installed, unfortunately.

You can start the testing with hello-world snap, which can be installed
with `snap install hello-world`. Then run the snap with `snap run 
hello-world`. After that, reboot and repeat until the regression
occurs.

You can also try other snaps. For GUI applications, try krita, gimp,
gitkraken, and libreoffice. For server applications, try spinning up
containers with lxd or store data with nextcloud.

My guess is that the problem is in snapd when trying to execute
snaps, hence all snaps are affected.

Thanks.
