snapcraft on ARM 64 - stuck at lxd
Metadata
Current evaluation
The ARM64 hang was traced to missing LXD container networking, not a Snapcraft architecture defect; Snapcraft 7.5.4 added a timeout instead of looping indefinitely.
Resolution: closed not a bug
Reason: Maintainer mr-cal identified a lack of LXD container network access, potentially involving VPN or Docker configuration, rather than an ARM64-specific defect. Snapcraft 7.5.4 was released with a timeout, and the closing maintainer asked for a reopen if it still occurs.

Issue body
### Bug Description
I have a snap for Core 22 that builds like a charm on x86. However, when I am trying to build on ARM, it fails.
I believe it gets blocked at lxd stage.
### To Reproduce
You can check out the code from here:
git@github.com:skidoomanubuntu/oval-core-tools.git
Then, just snapcraft on an ARM machine
BTW, I tried a few variations. Going to multipass was not successful, neither was invoking sudo snapcraft.
### Environment
I have an ARM server with 64 cores from ADLink, so I assume my system's scalability is not an issue.

| stealth/space-bunny-alpha | — | closed not a bug | The ARM64 hang was traced to missing LXD container networking, not a Snapcraft architecture defect; Snapcraft 7.5.4 added a timeout instead of looping indefinitely. | |
| stealth/space-bunny-alpha | — | closed resolved | Snapcraft 7.5.4 fixed the endless LXD network-wait loop by adding a timeout. The original ARM64 hang was caused by the container lacking network access, potentially through VPN or Docker conflicts. | |
| qwen3.6-35b-a3b-mtp-q6 | — | — | Resolved in Snapcraft 7.5.4 by implementing a network timeout instead of an infinite loop. The hang was caused by LXD container networking misconfigurations, often due to Docker or VPN conflicts. Closed as fixed. | |

close stale | Snapcraft 7.5.0 hangs indefinitely on ARM64 waiting for LXD container networking. Maintainer identified the cause (no container network, possibly Docker/VPN) and linked the infinite-loop fix in 7.5.4. No reporter response since Dec 2023. | |

close stale | Snapcraft on ARM64 hangs during LXD container network initialization. A maintainer noted the issue is fixed in v7.5.4 and asked about Docker/VPN conflicts, but the author has not responded in over a year. |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| #1999321 Snapcraft is stuck on "launching instance..." indefinitely | snapcraft (launchpad) | open | Endless LXD startup on failed container DNS now times out via craft-providers; Snapcraft 7.5.4 is recorded as fixing the wait. Multipass arm64 and Docker diagnostics remain separately tracked. | |
| #4412 Network check runs forever | snapcraft | closed | Infinite getent/LXD network retries were fixed by a timeout shipped in Snapcraft 7.5.4; #4443 documents the related ARM64 hang and craft-providers added troubleshooting. | |
| #1907721 Snapcraft broken on ARM64 | snapcraft (launchpad) | closed | Closed as a configuration issue: a system-wide Python package broke apt-installed Snapcraft, while Multipass lacked ARM64 support; maintainers recommended the Snapcraft snap and --use-lxd. | |
| #719 Snapcraft fails initialization of build container | craft-providers | closed | LXD startup race was fixed by waiting for instance readiness in craft-providers PR #720; the fix shipped via Snapcraft PR #5247 in Snapcraft 8.6.2. | |
| #1839399 snapcraft not pulling snap from lxd container | snapcraft (launchpad) | open | Snapcraft 3.7.1 reported a successful --use-lxd build but left the generated snap absent on the host; a maintainer identified possible CWD handling, and the case remains unresolved. | |
| #1795827 Snapcraft doesn't install snapcraft inside the lxd container | snapcraft (launchpad) | open | Historical LXD builds failed because Snapcraft was not injected into the container; the modern Craft Providers LXD path injects Snapcraft and resolves the legacy failure. | |
| #2069292 cannot install system snap "snapd" | snapcraft (launchpad) | open | Snapcraft build fails injecting host snapcraft into LXC instance ("cannot install system snap snapd"); root cause is host networking — Docker breaks LXD bridge — not a Snapcraft bug. Maintainer pointed to LXD/Docker firewall docs; reporter has not confirmed fix. | |
| #5420 Snapcraft 7 fails to launch a LXD container based on host apt sources entries | snapcraft | closed | Closed as a duplicate of canonical/snapcraft#4408; no separate fix was made for this report. | |
| #2012074 snapcraft cannot build snap by default on aarch64 | snapcraft (launchpad) | open | ARM64 default builds failed on Snapcraft 7.3.1 because core20 selected amd64-only Multipass images; later defaults use core22/LXD on Linux, addressing the reported path. | |
| #1750642 Snapcraft fails in LXD container on Debian 9 | snapcraft (launchpad) | closed | Closed as stale in September 2026 because Debian 9 and the reported Snapcraft version were outdated; no fixing PR or commit was identified. |
